The Beautiful Game is calling this goal by some Venezuelan in the Ecuador-Venezuela World Cup qualifier the greatest goal of all time. And yeah, I guess scoring from midfield on a free kick is pretty impressive, but I prefer my greatest goals ever to have a lot of great dribbling and/or passing. A single kick where the entire wall ducks doesn't quite do it for me, no matter where it's from.
Besides, how can it be the greatest goal of all time if Tom Brady didn't score it? How is this supposed to be memorable if it doesn't happen in a Red Sox-Yankees game? It's Ecuador and Venezuela. No one even knows where those countries are. I mean, the players look kinda brown, so I'm guessing they're somewhere under Texas. Maybe we should be more impressed that they have the technology to televise a soccer game than some guy kicking the ball really hard and far.

Fixed it for ya. That was a pretty impressive goal. I am surprised no one dived on that play.
I did the same thing playing FIFA '99
Mad props to the forwards who ducked their heads out of the way of the ball to avoid injury. Way to use your heads.
Not shown: 30 brown children celebrating the victory by eating the ball for dinner.
So that's what hockey looks like.
With authority!
I thought we did away with fixing things. We all know Tom Brady is the greatest every. Last I heard he is looking into just being able to conceive by himself. Talk about a lucky kid.
Wow. Nothing funny, just simply filthy.
The goalie was shot after the game.
Brush your teeth
Really?
The greatest goal ever… thats kind of like the most impressive badmitton game ever played, or the craziest cheerleading routine of all time. I'd much rather watch sports accomplishments.
Where are the crying Italians?
Was anyone else distracted by the "Jennifer Anniston Is Bald Down There" (WWTDD) link ?
WSW11, I'm guessing the Italians were home considering it was a game between Ecuador and Venezuela. if (typeof(gnm_ord)==’undefined’) gnm_ord=Math.random()*10000000000000000; if (typeof(gnm_tile) == ‘undefined’) gnm_tile=1; document.write(”);

Soccer and Jennifer Aniston's over-waxed kitty…two things I can't get into.
Right soccer is not a sport. No timeouts, no incessant commercials, no 5 hour games, no fat men throwing a ball and no stupid announcers. Wow, what a travesty for soccer to be called a sport!!
more terrible goalkeeping than a great goal. It was well placed but i could stop that with 1 arm tied behind my back.
sorry for the fucked up copy and paste job.
Where is the riot afterwards? Where is the police in riot gear shooting tear gas? I would be more impressed if he shot the goal WHILE this is all going on. That would be the “best” goal ever!
How does that goalie not get over there in time? Was there a Celtic fan out there?
soccers gay
It's not the best kick ever if it wasn't off the foot of Al Del Greco.
***Sigh***
I've been over this before. Notice to I AM BATMAN and WSW11 — I don't ask for anyone to like soccer, but you have to at least TRY to be funny. Your comments suck.
Fine, Matt…how bout this:
Soccer wouldn't be a sport even if it were played at The Ohio State. And it's homosexual too. And, um foreigners are dirty and complain a lot.
Now THAT'S commenting.
Wow. that was actually pretty awesome. Highlights like that make me think I could maybe get into soccer a little. Then I notice that this goal happened over an hour into the game and it broke a 0-0 tie, and I remember why I hated this sport in the first place.
