Posted March 24, 201411 yr For me yes. How did he do that it was just pure class to volley the goalie from the half way line.
March 24, 201411 yr Author No chance. Not even his best goal ever...He looked up saw goalie out of position and hit it on the volley from half way line what could beat that.
March 24, 201411 yr He looked up saw goalie out of position and hit it on the volley from half way line what could beat that. Well it was a half volley for one, and the West Ham keeper made a **** of himself. Shocking goalkeeping. No where near the best goal, not even best of the weekend. Tettey's was better... hell Russell's was even better.
March 24, 201411 yr For starters. And this is better than both. Thing is, I'd fancy myself to score a volley from the halfway line eventually if I stood and hit them all day but absolutely zero chance I could ever score an overhead kick like either of those no matter how long I tried. It's an even more difficult piece of skill and I don't mean to take anything away from Rooney's goal, it was special no doubt.

And no goal can be the best ever when there's not even a keeper in the goal to save it.
March 24, 201411 yr It wasnt even the best goal that weekend. That Norwich goal was better. Hitting it off the deck is also far more difficult, a bouncing ball which he just banged isnt overly impressive. Sort of goal any Sunday league player could hit.
March 24, 201411 yr Best header from the worlds best ever player in a World Cup Final. Carlos Alberto's goal in the same game is the best goal ever. Rooney's was simply from a long way out. The judges' decision is final. No further correspondence will be entered into.
March 24, 201411 yr Maradonna for me. I don't really go for wonder shots. I prefer the goals that take an awful lot of good touches instead of just one. And it has to be against a worthy opponent. So not say QPR scoring a 600 pass move against San Marino u8's. Zlatan's goal was wonderful technique like Rooney v City. But how many bicycle kicks do you think are scored in league games every season? How many go in the top corner or in of the bar/post. It's much harder to repeat a 30 pass goal or beat 7/8 players than to get one clean strike.

March 24, 201411 yr http://www.thefa.com/news/the-fa-cup/2014/feb/top-ten-fa-cup-free-kicks-120214 I like Franks best. That Mickey Thomas one was pants. Ward hits them every week. The technical term is "just smash it" Yeah, all the Chelsea ones look good. Drogba's is clever. My favourite was Pearce's (spit).
March 25, 201411 yr Barcelona have scored the best goals ever... Or Messi Name me another player in the world who could pick the ball up just inside Real's half and take the ball past four players before slotting past Iker Casillas. Rooney wouldn't even get past the first man, and Ibra who probably lunge past one before firing a wild one over the bar. I'm really not impressed with long ranges or pot shots which fly in the top coner - yes they look great but any pro footballer can do that. But not any pro footballer can waltz past half the England team (Maradona) or cut a team open with 100mph passes along the floor. One of the best Man Utd goals I ever saw was the Rooney/Ronaldo counterattack against Bolton http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jxm1d8bMev8
March 25, 201411 yr Those are spesh there's no doubt. Feel a bit sorry for his teammates tho, sometimes they just look like spare parts at a wedding. Still, what can you say really?
