Bale v. Di Canio v. Van Basten

[$hoguN]

Bales was easier than Di Canios because he could open his body up, and he had one foot standing. It's a volley you will see 20 times a season through the leagues. Great goal, a worldie, but I've seen it done on a Saturday afternoon in front of 58 fans.

Van Bastens was so good, because of the acute angle, the ball was coming from behind him, and the power was awesome. not to mention it won the Euro Champs.

Zidanes, awesome, wrong foot, not coming across him so difficult to get over it. Fantastic.



Di Canio's was so audacious, only a genius could score it.

I completely disagree you would see a goal the quality of Bale's 20 times a season throughout the league. I fully agree he had time and could open his body but to take the ball so high at the angle he did and find the top corner was very special.

Di Canio's was audacios and genious and Van Basten's was just fantastic, but out of the three Bale's was the technically the best, in my opinion at least. As you have said though, Zidane's was better, especially in a Champs league final.

What am I a liar? I play with left footed players that have scored goals like that. The only thing that separated it was the height.
When you hit a ball like that, you dont look for the top corner, you just try and control the volley. If you can keep it down, the pace is already on the ball to trouble the keeper.

You are underplaying just how difficult it is to take a volley at that height; yes his height plays a factor but to see how high his leg is at the point of contact makes controlling the volley extremely difficult. Find me the videos of these 20 a season and I will believe you, if it was a low volley then yes you would be completely correct but taking the ball at height to do that, no chance.

I'm wrong....I must have dreamt it....

see first post, I'm not understating anything when I use the term "a worldie"

I know you said it was a worldie mate, but you also said 20 goals of the same calibre get scored a season. But hey, difference of opinion I guess.

Van Basten's for me. The ball came at him over his shoulder and almost vertically which I think is alot harder to judge and then to steer it up and down back across his body makes it one of the all time best.

Di Canio's was skillfull for using his right foot whilst the ball came from his right, that connection had no margin for error.

Bales goal was pretty, should be up there for goal of the season and he plays for Tottenham.

Agree with all this. I still rate Van Basten's goal as one of the best of all time. Such a shame a top class player, one of the best finishers of his generation had his career cut short by injury.

 

[Gassin's finest]

Van Basten's remains one of the best goals ever scored. Di Canio's was a peach of a cross from Sinclair and a perfectly timed scissor kick, but he does actually slice it marginally, which probably helped to be fair. Gareth's was flawless execution from a lovely dinked pass, and was much harder to hit due to it being so high and behind him.

Van Basten
Bale
Zenden
Di Canio

1 - Van Basten
2 - Bale
3 - Di Canio

 

[MendD3]

voted di canio, but zidanes was different gravy, better than bisto!

 

[AngerManagement]

I remember watching Van Basten's goal live when I was 7 years old, I had a bootleg market job Van Basten Holland goldfish shirt and that to this day is my favourite goal of all time (non Spurs I mean)

 

[MrWoolley]

Van Basten's for me, but they are all truly stunning strikes.

 

[Legend10]

Di Canio for me, both feet up in the air and to hit at the angle it arrived at was just incredible. Both he and Bale also managed to get incredible power into the strikes.

 

[Bus-Conductor]

Shoukd the keeper really have been beat by DiCanio's though L ?

I think he'd have had more chance of catching a bullet in his teeth.

Although us oldies like to bang on about it, VB was only 6 yards out, albeit an acute angle. He had loads of time to watch it drop and very little pressure on him. I'd go for Bale.

very lil pressure..in the final of Euro 1988. and ur country had never ever won anything prior to that...

while Bale was playing against mighty Stoke in our 2nd league game of the season...

 

[AW?]

Van Basten for me.

Probably not in the same league as it was a lot closer to the goal but thought i'd mention it anyway.

Sorry pal, I meant pressure in terms of the defender - who was ball watching for the most part of it rather than trying to simply bundle him over.
