Anyone know of a site that has free video downloads of classic goals? Im looking for this one and cant seem to find it. Thanks.
Is that the great overhead kick? If it is, you can find it and a lot of other great soccer footage on file sharing engines like Kazaa, but get Kazaa-lite if you get anything, NOT Kazaa. I still use Kazaa but I hate it. Do not get it.
What's wrong with Kazaa? It's not an overhead kick (that's with Ajax), but rather a long cross which he volleys in from a near impossible angle.
Kazaa comes with spyware. Kazaa Lite is spyware free. This thread pretty much says it all: https://www.bigsoccer.com/forum/showthread.php?s=&threadid=32523
I have it on my computer, if you PM me we can work something out (I'll send it to you through E-Mail)
That was a beautiful goal. He is practically on the end line when the ball is crossed from the far side. He volleys it in first time from an almost impossible angle. One of my favourite goals. Terrible shirts Holland wore at that tournament though.
That may be, for me, the greatest goal in the history of soccer. Not only was it a great goal, it happened in the final of Euro 1988, as the Netherlands were desperately trying to hold on to a 1-0 lead against the USSR. A great goal and an important goal in the final of a tournament second only to the World Cup in importance. Also of note: When describing the goal afterwards, Van Basten said, "I thought about controlling the ball, and beating the defender and the keeper, but that was too much effort. So, I just volleyed it in." (Or words to that effect, anyway.) Thanks, Father Ted!
Always glad to see people asking about Van Basten. This is my favorite goal of all time. Really, if you haven't seen it, you owe it to yourself as a soccer fan to watch this goal.
