Umm Listening to some idiots last night on Fox Sports carrying on about the goal Engelaar scored for Heart from half way.
Were arguing that this was a best goal seen in the HAL this season and even better than Rooneys effort V West Ham over the weekend
Maybe I am crazy but hoofing the ball 50 metres with it under control and on the deck isn't to me that hard of a task for a professional footballer let alone most amatuers. Chances are you should be able to hit it close/in the goal a fair few times out of 100.
Sure it looks spectacular but when the keeper is off the line as long as you strike it reasonably right it ain't that difficult a thing to do.
Rooneys to me is a much greater strike by a long way as it required striking the bouncing ball which he didn't fully have under control anyway. That thing could end up anywhere and to actually lob the keeper from that range in that situation is a lot harder to my way of thinking than striking a ball rolling on the carpet that you have under control as Engelaar did
Matter of fact Engelaars goal wasn't even the best goal scored in the HAL this weekend.
Griffos volley in the last minute of the Nix game across the body and into the top corner beats everything else hands down
