Poet of the Macabre Posted July 12, 2016 Share Posted July 12, 2016 I've just read the Guardian's review of the tournament and almost all of their writers picked this as goal of the tournament. Am I the only one that thought it wasn't even in the top five? It's rank rotten defending and I'm not convinced he even meant it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ira Gaines Posted July 12, 2016 Share Posted July 12, 2016 Definitely meant it. Still not close to the goal of the tournament. Shakiri's gets better every time I see it. That Griezmann goal is a favourite of mines too against Iceland, just down to the sheer mentalness of the ball even getting to him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Poet of the Macabre Posted July 12, 2016 Author Share Posted July 12, 2016 It seems to be because he's shite everyone is grading it on a curve. Shaqiri's goal was easily the best of the tournament. Griezmann's had a great finish and a lovely dummy. Hamsik and Payet are notable mentions too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ira Gaines Posted July 12, 2016 Share Posted July 12, 2016 Actually enjoyed the Rosicky goal more than the Hamsik and Payet goals. Tremendous technique. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AlexDolan Posted July 12, 2016 Share Posted July 12, 2016 I've seen the Robson-Kanu goal a few times, and each time I've been extremely confused by exactly what Denayer is hoping to achieve by completely sprinting past... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oneteaminglasgow Posted July 12, 2016 Share Posted July 12, 2016 It wasn't even the best goal of that game... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deeboy Posted July 12, 2016 Share Posted July 12, 2016 He got extremely lucky (or great skill) that the Belgian defence thought he'd be laying the ball off and effectively just left him to turn as they were too busy watching the runners. Hats down to communication - or lack of - between a thrown together back four. I think it's a very good goal, but nowhere near Modric or Shaqiri's.

WullieBroonIsGod Posted July 12, 2016 Share Posted July 12, 2016 Bit of a sentimental pick I think, purely because he's Welsh. It being against a fancied Belgian side probably helped too, despite the defending being awful Shaqiri, Modric, Griezmann, and possibly Ronaldo's first against Hungary can all be argued to be superior.

PrestersKTID Posted July 12, 2016 Share Posted July 12, 2016 Nainggolans ping from 30 yards not being mentioned? Still think Shaqiris is No1 tho. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King Kebab Posted July 12, 2016 Share Posted July 12, 2016 One guy had Ramsey as player of the tournament as well Team of the Tournament doesn't have Pepe... Arguably a good call, Ramsey had a great tournament, perhaps not the best player but definitely up there. The whole semifinal might have played out differently had he not been suspended such would have been his influence on it!!!Don't know how Pepe wasn't included???

AyrTroopMajor Posted July 12, 2016 Share Posted July 12, 2016 Robson Kanu's goal has been chosen because of the fact it's Wales and it's a remarkable story because he doesn't have a club etc. I don't think anyone who picked it genuinely believes it was the best goal of the tournament. Shaquiri's goal was comfortably the best goal of the tournament. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ira Gaines Posted July 12, 2016 Share Posted July 12, 2016 Both Pepe and Renato Sanchez are worth places in a team of the tournament. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lanky_ffc Posted July 12, 2016 Share Posted July 12, 2016 I'll echo others thoughts that's it in their as more of a sentimental goal than for it's quality (not that it's a bad goal). However, it's my favourite goal of the tournament given the importance and also the sheer comedy of sending three players the wrong way with one turn. I'd lose my shit if a Scotland player did that in a Euro QF. Quality-wise, Shaqiri's is the best IMO. It's a ridiculous piece of skill to score overhead kick from outside the area.

thisal Posted July 12, 2016 Share Posted July 12, 2016 45 minutes ago, Mozzamozza said: Its their Gemmill moment. Let them have it. In about 4 years time they'll be back to being fucking rank again. (hopefully) Their "Gemmill" moment got them to a SF, ours was another glorious failure. Of the team that beat Belgium only Williams, Hennessy and Ledley will be over 31. Hennessey will be 33 So should still be around. So I would suggest they'll still be decent team in 4 years and probably the tournament after that as well. Our team that drew with Poland only Hanley Richie and Forrest will be under 32 in 4 years.!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mordecai Posted July 12, 2016 Share Posted July 12, 2016 The official goal of the tournament is revealed tomorrow (I think). Whilst Robson-Kanu's goal was good, I expect Shaqiri's to win it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
