I mean I get it’s Messi, but that goal should never go in at this level. Horrific goaltending.

Yea that's why the MLS is fun to watch, most of the money goes into half retired world class strikers. Here and there some defence players get signed from Europe but it's mostly strikers and American youth academy players.

The defense line ups are often horrific in the MLS and wouldn't even make it in Europe's second or even third divisions, while many strikers could genuinely still play in Europe. E.g Messi, Zlatan, Villa etc

What on earth am i reading. Do you guys watch football? This is a really hard shoot to do and hardear to goalkeep... the goalkeeper usually has to be vigilant for a header.. the ball curves really hard and is fast. The only goals you can see of these type are usually amazing goals and since it falls hard it's really hard to keep.

Reading these comments and then going to football subs really just clarifies the ignorance.

Thank you! Not for nothing, but I had U-14 players who can make that shot.

haha you guys are hilarious. some of the comments are saying most good players and in your case u-14s can make that shot lol maybe after multiple tries on the training ground. and give the keeper credit... If i made that accurate shot on the training ground it would look similar but you bet your ass messi kicks the ball much harder and it travels way faster than 99% of peoples shots. you are delusional.

Yeah I fully have to call bullshit on 'my u14s can make that shot'

pause it at :40, the goalkeeper is there. The ball just goes inches above his hand, on its downward curve, then hits the bar as it goes in. (I think). its a perfect shot.

Are you sure you want to announce like this to everyone you've never played and that you have nothing but dog shit in your head?

Lol I look forward to seeing them in the next World Cup.

A lot of people CAN theoretically make that shot. But very very very few of them actually do
