What a cracking pair of goals, the Irish one is a stunning finish

Makes Mancini's look like a tap in!

maybe didn't deserve a thread of it's own but this was a fucking brilliant strike from Pirlo

The way that ball glides through the air is something else! What a strike

It even rolled across the back of the net beautifully. Absolute peach of an effort.

Glentoran TV. Now I've seen it all!

Definitely, this one was way more difficult, from the edge of the box he had to give it quite a bit of strength to beat the keeper like it did, and it was easy to mishit the ball or give it too much force instead. Faboulous strike indeed.

There's also Ibra's goal for Sweden against Italy in Euro 2004 but that was much easier than this one too, imho.

As for Pirlo's strike, it was a great goal, he has an habit of hitting the ball so that it suddenly falls down at the end, he usually does that on free kicks though.

You've seen me score half a dozen better backheels and never posted about them.

Cunt.
