Giovanni dos Santos makes Tim Howard look like a fish

There's no better feeling for a
striker than scoring a stunning goal.
But there is one thing that top it
off.
That's making the goalkeeper look a fool doing it.
Mexico's Giovanni dos Santos not only scores a truly superb goal, in Concacaf's Gold Cup final against rivals the USA - in the process he makes US goalkeeper Tim Howard look like a fish.
Dos Santos's footwork not only took the ball away from a flapping Howard, he then had the audacity to chip the ball from almost on the edge of the box and over a defender on the line.
Simply amazing.

goalies muck up
ReplyThat type of creativity and inspiration is what is lacking in NZ national teams. Watching the U-17s play to tie the US yesterday (or better said, play to "not lose") was a miserable experience. It is a disgrace that coaches infect teenage players with the conservative, cautious, grind-it-out mentality rather than give them disciplined reign to their talent--and there are several talented players on the Young Whites. As for Howard--I agree with those who have noted that he did what he could and bought some time that should have seen dos Santos forced to pass rather than shoot.

ReplyKeeper was niether made to look a fool nor blameworthy. In fact, he bought his defence time enough that they should have crowded the striker out, notwithstanding his skillful play.
1 ReplyIt is real talent but don't blame the goalie. Howard did everything right and slowed the play right down. It was the numerous other defenders that are to blame - they did not do their job, and their job was not difficult - close hime down and/or shot block. So - great goal, wrong headline!
1 ReplyExcelente gol, muchachos. Mostrar los gringos a jugar al fútbol
