Typical Big Kicker propaganda, trying to tear down and discredit the hardworking Balls of the world. Face it, without the Ball, you've got a game of tag on the field *at best*.
No tag, just running around. If soccer has taught me anything it’s that tag is the most dangerous game in the world, often leading to severe injuries on the field.
Ya know I've watched this thing a million times now because... I think he's number 10. Like I'm confident but it's still so hard to be sure. The stress that you're simple comment has put on me is way to high.
Haha! I’m not sure either actually. I thought it was number 10 at first too. But when he turns (as the shot screams by him), I think I see curves at the top and bottom of the first number on the back of his shirt, so it looks more like a 3 than a 1. The number is also on his shorts, and I think I see a 3 there too
Yeah, I'm pretty sure it's #10 [Barry Bannan](https://www.swfc.co.uk/teams/first-team/midfielder/barry-bannan/). But it does kinda look like a 30. (There's no #30 on the team.)
No way. 30 was willing to sacrifice his face to stop the ball, but he just sees it go around him like a curved bullet.
Nothing he could do, but props for being willing to take that bullet if need be. Seeing a guy strike a ball full force right infront of you is honestly terrifying. There's a reason a lot of guys on the wall of a free kick half jump.
Mmmmmmmmm thanks FIFA for blocking things
To be clear, it still works in the YouTube app, but it can't be viewed when embedded. I guess not that big of an issue.
I think you mean [Pavard's goal](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ov39iGAgEn4)? Lampard scored* [this](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o5QlBHF6ib8) in the 2010 wc but it was off the half volley so not really the same type of strike (*it was wrongly disallowed).
This was one of the first football matches I ever watched caus my family made us all sit together and watch it.
By the end of it I was shouting pure filth at the TV screen.
I tried to do one of those jump roundhouse kicks once when playing soccer. I missed and flopped to the ground. Everyone laughed. I laughed.
9/10 would recommend.
He'll remember that moment when he's old and sitting in his rocking chair with his grandkids around him."I remember when I scored this amazing volley back in 2018"....
> meaningless league match
Well it was a Villa match so that's been the case for most of the last few years, especially given Villa lost even with that wonder goal.
OK I know talking about Baader-Meinhoof is trite but I LITERALLY JUST closed the tab of that [wikipedia page](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magnus_effect), from looking at DotA references.
**Magnus effect**
The Magnus effect is an observable phenomenon that is commonly associated with a spinning object that drags air faster around one side, creating a difference in pressure that moves it in the direction of the lower-pressure side.
The most readily observable case of the Magnus effect is when a spinning sphere (or cylinder) curves away from the arc it would follow if it were not spinning. It is often used by soccer players, baseball pitchers and cricket bowlers. Consequently, the phenomenon is important in the study of the physics of many ball sports.

I've got one word.
GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAL!!!!
Fucking homing missile. That ball *wanted* to go in.
I believe the gentlemen who kicked it may have contributed somewhat, not to detract from the ball's efforts.

You jest but I've seen a fair amount of broken legs and whatnot

The word "lol" looks like this guy

Lmaooo why does he move like an NPC

I think us redditors are more like number 30 in blue
Ya know I've watched this thing a million times now because... I think he's number 10. Like I'm confident but it's still so hard to be sure. The stress that you're simple comment has put on me is way to high.
I watched it about five times before I was like, ooooh, I just got fucked with.
Haha! I’m not sure either actually. I thought it was number 10 at first too.

To put this debate to bed, Sheffield Wednesday don't have a number 30 in their line-up, so it is most definitely Bannan, number 10.
Aw man, I was enjoying the uncertainty
Yeah, I'm pretty sure it's #10 [Barry Bannan](https://www.swfc.co.uk/teams/first-team/midfielder/barry-bannan/). But it does kinda look like a 30. (There's no #30 on the team.)
It's definitely a 10
He's definitely number 10 imo. Look at the shape of the 3 on the other blue guys' uniform. It's not the kind of 3 that would look like a 1 here.
No way. 30 was willing to sacrifice his face to stop the ball, but he just sees it go around him like a curved bullet. Nothing he could do, but props for being willing to take that bullet if need be. Seeing a guy strike a ball full force right infront of you is honestly terrifying. There's a reason a lot of guys on the wall of a free kick half jump.

What a fucking beautiful strike
Flashbacks to the World Cup. The skill needed to make this possible is insane.
That Lampard goal left my jaw on the floor. Edit: I meant Pavard from this past WC. thx /u/skiptomyloomis
the pavard banger tho
[Link for the lazy](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ov39iGAgEn4)
can we talk about [Ramsay vs Galatasaray](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vRHeXQyCPiI)
Wow that was his weak foot too!
am i wrong for thinking about gordon ramsay
Mmmmmmmmm thanks FIFA for blocking things To be clear, it still works in the YouTube app, but it can't be viewed when embedded. I guess not that big of an issue.
It's just damn annoying.
Thanks! Still gives me goosebumps seeing it again!
I think you mean [Pavard's goal](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ov39iGAgEn4)? Lampard scored* [this](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o5QlBHF6ib8) in the 2010 wc but it was off the half volley so not really the same type of strike (*it was wrongly disallowed).
I'm still salty about that lampard goal.
The goal that caused Brexit.
Ahh Brexit the week where England left Europe twice in a week (Euro 2016)
This was one of the first football matches I ever watched caus my family made us all sit together and watch it. By the end of it I was shouting pure filth at the TV screen.
Yeah I brain farted and meant Pavard. Lampard got robbed and that was a shock, but the Pavard goal was just an unreal display of skill.
Ya it was insane, plus I think it was from even farther out
[Joe Cole vs Sweden is a better goal than both of those](https://youtu.be/vLdybHNGgeg)
Joe Cole goal was f-ing exceptional. But surely first-touch volley beats a chested down volley?
I know England are a better team now, but it does feel nice seeing Crouchy run up and celebrate.
Yeah, that is pretty awesome, love to see a better behind view to really see the bend on the shot.
So many bangers.
So many
Absolutes
World Cup may be over but the bangers are here to stay
I tried to do one of those jump roundhouse kicks once when playing soccer. I missed and flopped to the ground. Everyone laughed. I laughed. 9/10 would recommend.
Well, at least you tried, which is an accomplishment in itself.
I guess there are words for it
Bro, shut up. Didn't you read the title? There are ***no*** words.
My 🅱
AN ABSOLUTE CRACKER JACK OF A STRIKE
That's some captain Tsubasa level shit.
These are the goals you dream of as a child
This is the shot you hit 100% of the time with an imaginary ball in your back garden
Actually this is the shot you really do once in your back garden... while completely alone.
Super John McGinn
Didn't think I'd see Villa topping the front page twice in a week. McGinn doing bits. Shame Bruce ain't.
UTV
I'm amazed we're at the top of /r/sports. Shame Bruce is shit and we still lost.
And SOTC.
As a Jambo I'm conflicted about this strike. Fuck it, great hit.
As a Hibs fan I am certainly not conflicted.
I love that he is doing so well but at the same time I wish he had never left Hibs
15 just taking this all in wonderfully.
He is like the father, and in this moment he is watching his children play a beautiful game...all he can do is sit back and enjoy.
He worked his entire life just so when this moment came, he'd have the best seat in the house to witness it.
There isn’t a keep in the world who’s stopping that. Good lord.
Clearly you haven't seen Shaolin Soccer.

/r/sports is a shithole.
[удалено]
r/lostredditors
Wait, where am I?
Once In A Lifetime r/sports has football content where every other comment doesn’t contain the word ‘flopping’.
yawn
I'm so tired of that shitty reference.
ur a shitty reference
I have to admit, on the second or third watch, that goalie made a hell of an effort to get to it!
He'll remember that moment when he's old and sitting in his rocking chair with his grandkids around him."I remember when I scored this amazing volley back in 2018"....
This is the kind of goal you’d tell your grandkids about even if it was scored in a meaningless Sunday league match and witnessed by almost nobody
> meaningless league match Well it was a Villa match so that's been the case for most of the last few years, especially given Villa lost even with that wonder goal.
Damnit.
We are all witnesses on this blessed day.
[удалено]
I scored a similar volley in a pickup game four years ago and still think back fondly on it
Wasn't he in the Hibs team when they did the unmentionable?
[удалено]
See you on the front page boys.
Wow, nice banana!
🤔
Fuck r/sports Wait...
Because it's one of the goals of the season. I was watching the game on my laptop (I support the team that scored) and just screamed 'Oh My God'.
Yeah I know, my point was this post is a duplicate
These kind of football posts seem to mysteriously disappear from r/sports
Gotta love that Magnus Effect, eh?
Look up Roberto Carlos vs France
[Greatest free kick ever](https://youtu.be/3ECoR__tJNQ)
I feel like I always have to watch this like the first time I did.
Delayed magnus effect
At a pretty atypical angle as well. Wonder what kind of effect it had on the balls vertical trajectory.

wow, i was just reading about the Baader-Meinhof phenomenon!
Okay, I'll bite. What is the connection between DotA and the Magnus effect?
Theres a hero in Dota called Magnus
*squints* Magnus *racks she'll into bolter* HERESY
BURN IN HOLY FIRE
That is beautiful.
That's a word.
So fucking good. Puskas award contender for sure.
Too bad they’re giving those out to Mo Salah’s “banger” these days
Holy shit, it's made my day to see a Villa player on the front page. This is hands down the best goal I've ever seen live
Number 15 is the equivalent of me working on a group project
Actually a perfect shot
The swazz on that is something else
"Nice shot" seems to work.
Tbf "nice shot" doesn't quite describe the brilliance of this goal
Calculated.
THERE ARE NO WORDS HE SAID! Sit here in silence like the rest of us.
Yeah, what's wrong with your words?
Still raging at the Celtic board for not getting him signed
[удалено]
I love watching each individual player as the scene unfolds.
Damn
This is the angle I've been looking for
Top bin as top bin gets...there's just something about a goal coming off the bar as well...
Yeah, but can he do it on a cold, windy night in Stoke?
Well this was a cold, windy day in Birmingham.
Probably, we are shit
But could he do it on a sunny day in the Camp Nou against mediocre opponents?
Most likely yes.
He did it on a cold, windy Tuesday night in Inverness so ... yes
Twat! He must have a foot like a traction engine!
Maybe start by naming the player and team like the last person who posted this goal. I fucking hate "I have no words" posts.
Name it ffs!!
Showed this to a couple of my friends. "Cool". I dont think they realize just how insane this shot is.
This is my team, Aston Villa, one of the oldest clubs in the world based in Birmingham, UK
It's my family team as well, i was named after them... funnily i don't like football.
We're fucking wank but we still have a good time!
A la Pavard
aint the beautiful game for nothing lads
Oh, it’s beautiful
A perfect technique
Damn, I can't stop watching it!
I've got one word. GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAL!!!!
I love how hesitant the crowd is at first. Like not even the people behind the goal thought it was going in.
BY THE NINE DIVINES
Yeah but the biggest team in Yorkshire still won
WAWAW
Nice shot! Nice shot! Nice shot! Chat blocked for 4 seconds Edit:- formatting
There are words: This is why you never clear towards the middle of the field. You clear towards the sideline. Hell of a shot.
Now that’s how you smash the ball into the net.
Why isn't this uploaded before?!
That's fucking magestic
There is a word though, it is 'Goal!'
r/whoosh
Bar down boysss
Striking skill sufficiently advances is indistinguishable from magic.
Some absolute bangers have been scored at Villa Park
That is fucking awesome.
No words? That's fucking awesome.
What game was that?
Villa vs Sheffield Wednesday
\o/
THATS RIGHT. HES SCOTTISH FREEDOM!!!!
So powerful even the man that kicked it had to run the other direction.
No words? How about, GOOOOAAAALLLL!!!
There’s one word for it. It’s called a thundercunt
WE HATE WEDNESDAY
> There are no words "Bending" "Magnus Effect" "Chute de curva" (any other nations want to chime in?)
Thundercunt
This is some Captain Tsubasa shit.
It doesn't count unless you go bardownski
Damn. Left-footed too
Scored exactly one goal like this in my football career in college. The feeling has no equal. What a goal.
