Can someone point to a more timely, important, AND more technically proficient And more difficult to execute strike in a major competition?

Trezeguet had the only real golden goal to win a competition, right?

I think the goal Pele Scored scored in Victory was a bit harder considering the rib Injuries.

but really in the pre-espn world this is some of the sickest soccer goals ever..


left footed, right footed. headers, dribble goals, touch goals..

First, kudos on the Victory reference. Second, Pele' is without a doubt the most dynamic and technically talented player to ever grace the pitch. I was a young kid when his lengthy and celebrated career was winding down as a member of the NY Cosmos. I can't imagine what it would be like to watch a player of Pele's caliber in today's game. He had strength, speed, grace, and an unmatched competitiveness. There may never be another player who can singlehandedly dominate a game like he did.

If Nike was the behemoth is is now back when Pele played... Pele would own all of MLS and Barcelona.

I would expect there has to be some tribute at the world cup next year.

this clip shows footwork/moves that are crazy

the simulated goal about half way thru is pretty amazing
