A question borrowed from The Football Ramble podcast. Give an outline of the best goal you could ever imagine being scored. You're allowed to use any players you want - even yourself - in your description.
Mine
Neuer collects the ball and throws it out to the halfway line to Rijkaard.
Rijkaard collects on his chest, settles the ball,and plays a diagonal pass to an onrushing Essien.
Essien collects the ball in his stride and bursts past two midfielders with a sudden change of pace before lifting his head to assess his options.
In front of him are Gourcuff and Socrates. He decides to pass the ball to Gourcuff.
In one motion Gourcuff collects the ball with his right foot before flicking it behind his standing foot to Socrates before turning and running past his bemused marker.
Socrates returns the favor in similar fashion to Gourcuff, similarly confusing his own marker.
Not to be outdone, Gourcuff backheels the ball to Socrates who now attracts the attention of the two bewildered opponents.
Their disorientation is heightened when Socrates immediately chips the ball over them perfectly into Gourcuff's stride.
Gourcuff plays the ball to Zidane who splits two defenders with a perfectly executed roulette, before playing a diagonal ball into the penalty area.
There, Ronaldo's run meets the ball's path, and the striker does two stepovers before rounding the goalkeeper and tapping the ball into the back of the net.
Yeah, that's mine. What's yours?
