    Not half as good as his one for United...but I'd say the Americans prob think it is the best thing ever.....'oh my god....how can he kick a ball that far'(said in an annoying american accent)

    True True, I suppose its harsh of me to say meh, but Beckhams goal against Wimbledon all those years was magical.

    I know that,that's wh I said it in the OP!

    That one is nearly identical,give a few yards,he get's better elevation on it though!

    Why is one better than the other.

    Both shots from distance, into an empty net.


    :confused:

    simple really, because one came from relatively unknown "common" footballer who everyone loves to see doing well and the other came from football superstar who is easy to hate

    McCanns is better because everyone knows Beckham is well capable of it while most Bohs fans will have been in shock to see a bad excuse for a footballer do something right.

    Harsh but fair :D


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 15,173 ✭✭✭✭kmart6


    Wouldn't say on'es better than another,there practically identical!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 5,103 ✭✭✭estebancambias


    The only difference is that the first commentator is a lot better.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 49,324 ✭✭✭✭Mitch Connor


    i think beckham was under less pressure, had more time to steady himself too. easier chance for him imo.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 15,173 ✭✭✭✭kmart6


    Both goals didn't have an affect on the outcome of the game though!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 15,133 ✭✭✭✭ShaneU


    Beckham still plays football? :p


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 9,287 ✭✭✭davyjose


    It's the kind of goal the yanks paid their 25 million a year (or whatever) for. It's the kind of goal Americans will love. I don't know what the keeper was at, but it was a ... neat goal.

    Sorry, should have phrased that differently: What the f*ck was the keeper at? Thinkin he's Peter Schmeichel???

    Lots of keepers do it when their team is losing - i'm sure I have seen van der Sar doing it.

    Ok, just to clarify: I knew what the keeper was doing, it was just my way of saying it was the keeper's fault. I'll try to be less obtuse in future. :rolleyes:

    Cant really blame the keeper. If a keeper goes up for a corner at the end of the game, the manager would have instructed him to do so.

    Has anyone even seen a situation like that were the keeper ends up scoring ?

    Era i suppose under the circumstances it wasn't so bad, end of the game and behind so nothin to lose really, other then a slightly heavier defeat. Nothing ventured nothing gained as they say!
