Pede......you've gotta be kidding, right? The free kick he took will go down in history as being one of the greatest moments in soccer....x that....one of the greatest moments in sports history, man. It was the equivalent of a full count, two outs, bottom of the 9th walk off home run to tie the game, a last minute desperate three pointer with five hands in your face in basketball, the tying goal in hockey with seconds to go when the team has pulled its goalie to insert in that extra man, the kickoff return for a 99 yard touchdown or hail-mary in football....this moment wil forever be etched in the minds of all the attendees and viewers, man....it was that electric...the balls and nerve it took to have pulled that off.....to have pulled it off so sweetly....I know you're clouded by the circumstances and can't be arsed to be gracious in defeat, bro, but don't denegrate that moment of utter geniusness by making it sound as if it were some ordinary, run of the mill sort of play
Yoss....i am always gracious in Victory and defeat man.......and i do appreciate the skill of the free kick but you can see that sort of goal every week in League football.......Becks has scored loads of them ...its really nothing out of the ordinary.......Henry,Carlos Beckham,zidane.....they can all do it.I was not dissing Zidane mate ,all i said was that was all he did all game and that is not enough to justify being regarded as the best in the world......the same goes for Henry tonight..........maybe i've watched so much football in my life that i am no longer easily impressed........
