Yes it was ridiculous. He moved his foot to direct the ball

Re: Is Bale Overhead kick that good?
...a well executed over head kick, and on target, will always beat a goalie.
Had to do with a combination of misdirection and psychology effect on the goalie that it won't go in, reason why they hardly dive or attempt to.

Re: Is Bale Overhead kick that good?
Regardless of that first give away, no goalie would have saved it. It was totally unexpected and it would be unfair to blame Karius for it.[color=brown]The real deal[/color] wrote:Honestly, the GK never got over the first Fluke of a goal that he gave away[color=brown]YUJAM[/color] wrote: Yes it was ridiculous.

2 of the finest indigenous coaches Nigeria ever had lost in a space of 4 days. Dear Lord, is this a sign that you are taking away from us what we failed to appreciate? I pray for forgiveness of our sins. I pray for the humility to recognize our wrongs and the humbleness and wisdom to right our ways.

Re: Is Bale Overhead kick that good?
Exactly, the occasion itself gave it leverage, usually people are cagey in a final, but that daring kick was risky yet effective...if he had missed it, we wont have talked much about it..goes to show how important it was at that time of the game, turned out to be the winning goalEaglezbeak wrote:I don't know what you've been watching but I don't see that every week especially in a Champions League final but anyway.......jette1 wrote:we all have seen better kicks; i would rate this one about average

Re: Is Bale Overhead kick that good?
that goal was that good, painful as it is to admit. a special goal, in the most important match.

I'm not against these shenanigans, but the officials should have prepared for, and spotted them.
As it were, the fans were robbed of a very good player which is never good for the game.
Karius should have stayed down and taken his time (I don't remember if he did).

@Mcal, they can watch Ramos all they like, that unseen will remain unseen. One does not reach the man in high castle, without knowing how to conceal a weapon. Field Marshall Ramos is one of the best to have ever donned the armoury and taken to the field. The dark arts will remain on exhibition in the deepest opacities, unseen to the naked eye and applauded in retrospect for their guile and brilliance.

Many players can make a bicycle kick better than Mboma's when they have nothing to lose.
But few would dare do what Bale did in a high profile cup final.

I'm sure you will not be applauding any 'dark art' if it is applied to your team.Coach wrote:@Mcal, they can watch Ramos all they like, that unseen will remain unseen.

You can imagine what this sort of shenanigan adds to the spirit of sportsmanship.
Not complaining, just saying.

So I'm not holding out hope for the more diverse WC officials to do so.
