Really cool...but it had me thinking. If I was in his place, would I have wanted the goalie to give it his all? I think I would have. The personal satisfaction of scoring a legitimate goal that required a bit of skill and luck would have been that much greater. If he blocked it, then so what...he's a pro and that's what he's supposed to do.

I agree with you if I was the shooter I would want the goolie to actually try and save it. But from the goalie's perspective he would have been crucified if he did save it by people that felt he should let the guy have the goal.

And it's not like the man gave the kick his all either. Maybe we could have this conversation if he yelled a cheeky challenge to the keeper or whatever and tried for a screamer, but he was clearly just keeping himself together emotionally while he gave it enough to dribble in. A "test of skills" was not the page anyone was on.

The guy didn’t even know he was going to be doing this in the first place. Would be messed up if the goalie did try to save it lol my man had 0 preparation for this. I’m just glad he didn’t shank it and miss the goal altogether.
