shittest portuguese centre forward of recent times

pretty obviously just trying to head it back into the middle. jumped,turned, headed, no mystery.

there's an amusing clip of him getting sonned by oguchi onyewu

Nah, he clearly meant it - even though the angles involved mean it ought strictly to have been impossible.

You Want To Believe.

his line of sight even follows where he thinks the ball is going...back across the goal.

am 100% certain that was intentional

bc

'big call'? we're talking about JARED BORGETTI here, DUDE

no, bc = because. inviting u to do more than argue by assertion. aren't u an oxbridge dude? smh

ok, in the replay you can see borgetti's strike partner dropping deep for the ball, in borgetti's direct eyeline, therefore he can surmise he is probably alone in the box and thus has no alternative but to go for goal

plus, the shape on the header was a round-the-corner flick, whereas a nod across goal would have involved more of a front-of-head action

plus, your 'eyeline' assertion stems from the fact he is JARED BORGETTI, thick of neck, and cannot actually turn his head any further given the direction his body is going in

plus, i know way more about soccerball than you

:D

agree he should know he is alone in the box, but still thinks he has no alternative but to play the percentage.

header was front of head, inertia of movement gave it the goal parabola.

zvookster aka the dreamstealer

when i jump into an NFL thread all 'totally awesome play' when someone fumbles the ball into a team-mate's hands, remember this moment

remember it well

99.94% in agreement w/lj here. Would be 100% but for one thing - Borgetti has the build of a whippet. Check that still, the neck is like a pencil.

it was said of some lines of sappho's that their economy rang with the fine awkwardness of truth. lj's new dn is finest in this wise!

^^^has redeemed all of his posting in this thread and then some

Ashamed I missed this thread but whoever said upthread that good strikers don't exist anymore is on some crazy talk.

Me, I think, though I do rate Bendtner obviously. I had originally scoffed at the idea that the days of Owens and Inzaghis were over, but there really don't seem to many of them around, and if there are they are not feted like they used to be.

lol

srsly it wd be great if one of these ppl did something

hugo almeida scored 7 in 25 last season

though almeida was like a utility DM tbh

A goal from midfield! How about that?!

that's a cross so good even a portuguese centre forward couldn't miss....
