    Odegaard’s goal from last night is my favorite of the recent seasons I think. Beautiful one.

      Seconded - what a strike, although I always have a soft spot for goals like Deccers. Nothing like a hectic deflection.

        I do appreciate the extra salt in the wound. The feeling that you lost that game because that defender was a millisecond too slow, and just a bit away from a successful block… Good stuff.

          They got exceptionally lucky that both Havertz and Saka blew two nailed-on chances, that last few minutes was just the universe righting itself.

          Not to mention, Onana getting half a hand to it and just pushing it into the net. I think even if the defender wasn’t there, keeper wasn’t quick enough to get down for that ball. No idea how rice puts so much on it under pressure and doesn’t just sky it hahaha

        Obviously that was more exciting but without context of the time it was scored or that it was the winner, it’s just a goal off a cleared corner, so it’s just a good strike. I was admiring the buildup and precision to Odegaard’s goal. Martinelli’s assist was a perfectly weighted nutmeg into an ice cold finish. What can I say, I guess I have a type.
