Bend it like 'Berto

The best compilation of goals I've come across on YouTube, though I'm still trying to figure out how the guy decided to differentiate between bicycle kicks. They all looked about the same to me, yet one's bottom five and another is top five.



My personal top ten:

10. 37 - 5:23 - Bergkamp
9. 40 - 4:16 - Victor
8. 24 - 10:33 - van der Vaart
7. 17 - 14:10 - Henry
6. 5 - 19:46 - Carlos
5. 36 - 6:00 - le Tissier
4. 13 - 16:10 - Bergkamp
3. 32 - 7:34 - Zola
2. 2 - 21:08 - Ibrahimovic
1. 10 - 17:30 - Carlos

Bergkamp is my all-time favorite, so perhaps my bias got him in twice, but hey, #10 was a 90th minute game winner in the '98 World Cup quarters vs. Argentina, and it was sick to boot. Three absolutely perfect touches in a row.

Ultimately I went with Carlos #1 because that shot shouldn't have been possible. His other shot on the list was pretty freakin' impossible, too.

Ibrahimovic's goal totally reminded me of playing IM soccer with Dollar. Hilarious. Actually, now that I think about it, Dollar also scored a goal for us that was a lot like Beckham's at 11:39. Nice to play alongside a former NCAA player.

And now, on the sorry ass flipside:



Giuly!!! Shoulda just walked it in!
