Great goal, looks strange with the wall

[DJLJ]

almost at the half way line, but obviously this guy has done it before...

He must have done it before, why otherwise would they even consider putting a wall up?

What a stupid place to put a 3 man wall. It took a deflection from the wall, otherwise they probably would've saved it.

I remember seeing that on SSN. class effort, but the keeper should of done better!

having that wall is stupid. the wall is never gonna be the difference between it going in and not*, so move it out of the way and the goalie can see it a lot better, and a lot sooner.


*obviously if it hits the wall it technically is, but if its low enough to hit the wall its low enough for a defender to block it on the edge of the box.

Guys - that game was in Ecuador. At high altitude. Very high altitude.

Thats why they had the defensive wall. Thats why he had the balls to even try it in the first place. If you catch the ball just right, it really really (really!) flys in the thin air.

Brazil et al always hate playing Bolivia/Ecuador etc, for reasons like this. Still a great goal - just not the superhuman feat it appears on first view.
