Sometimes you just have to be awesome. Imagine, being a soccer player. Wandering around all day, kicking a ball to and fro, for no particular reason. Every so often, you fall down, again for no particular reason. You do this year after year. Then one day you decide, 'ya know what, this is boring'. And then a ball comes floating your way... what do you do...

He is lucky it worked. Wouldnt have been real popular otherwise. What a team player!

I think he was playing for Columbia from memory and its real. I shouldnt trust my memory though from experience.

fake? no, that was a real, televised match.

Really? Did he do that on purpose or was he only lucky his foot deflected the ball? If I were the coach I'd chew out the guy for showboating where so much was on the line. Soccer is a very low-scoring game

not a fake thats Rene Higuita possibly the best goalie Colombia ever had, definitely their best goalie of last 30 years. he was known for these types of antics which is why they called him 'el loco'. also one of the few goalies in history to actually score a goal. he was also known for coming out of his area and dominate attacking forwards and midfielders. he was nuts and lots fun to watch. later in his career he tested positive for cocaine.

Plus on the Video, it's amazing how far he returns this ball. Hardly a wimpy kick.

Yep, this was during the World Championships wasn't it? The Columbians didn't reach the finals, I remember and the goalie was internationally blamed for it. But he made the games very attractive to watch.

I watched this match. Note the whistle had already been blown so if he missed it and went in it wouldn't have counted but nevertheless it was a spectacular 'scorpion' kick. :-)

Bu ne özgüven yarabbim. Sonuç ne olursa olsun hiç bir futbolcunun böyle bir risk alma lüksü olmamalı...

NTV'de bir futbol belgeselinde izlemiştim bunu ve adamla yaptıkları röportajda jimastik alanında uzun yıllar çalıştığını antremanlı olduğunu söylüyordu :)
