The NZ keeper. And I'm being a little harsh, but you shouldn't be getting beat by headers from the top of the box.

When an opposing player is thundering down the flank like that, you have to be careful about your positioning. Until they "turn the corner" you can't be that far off your line. And when the cross is served, and it's clear you aren't going to be able to get there, you need to drop a step or two.

She's very flat footed, which is almost definitely because her mind was caught in two places.

goodness, I hate that feeling. I hate the decades-old memory of that feeling.

And I'm increasingly feeling like keepers that are getting beat off kickoffs need to be shamed.

how fast is this guy! 100-yard dash!

1.) Learn this name Tehoka Nanticoke. The next 4 years you will start seeing lots him (yes even you dopes who don't follow lacrosse).

2.) Normally this kid ends up at Syracuse. However, the Albany Head Coach (at JHU the same time as nonlinear I think) has been a big supporter of native american kids and causes (including a cross country drive to protest at Standing Rock).

2 solid goals from a 3rd-division French game this weekend.
Goal at 1:06 is good but the one at 2:30 is fantastic

"MAGNIFIQUE! C'EST BUT!!"

He wasn't kidding.

Amazing goal by Sidney Crosby. (Give it a second to load.)

This was a pretty sick way to clinch a division title.

You'll have a tough time finding a better one than this.

Gotta love goals where the ball never touches the ground until it's in the net.

Am I wrong that the goalie was way out of position there?

Perhaps. Maybe there's a reason that goalie is playing in the USL and not MLS.

Need to for one of the later replays (behind the goal) to truly appreciate the movement.

I mean, kinda?

You just don't expect a ball coming at your net when it's pinging around near midfield. Goalies are expected to act as a quasi-sweeper these days, so when the ball is just over the midfield stripe, they are going to be sitting near the top of their box, waiting for a long ball to get dumped in.

She was not going to be denied! (Nice finish, too.)

His haircut and neck tattoos are a clear giveaway that he is prone to bad decisions.

(I don't think we have a bad non-goals thread)

This Messi Kid, He Could Be Good Some Day...

Watch all three goals.

So good that the Betis fans had to applaud.

Since we don't have a Great Almost Goals thread:

Wayne Rooney....

The first goal is just crazy. Look at the reaction of his teammates

We were watching that game and I was sure that the goal was deflected. I don;t think I've ever seen a chipped goal like that one.
