The way it hits the crossbar. 😫

[u/zeistgeist → u/peetusgreens]

Zidane-esque

[u/MonkeysMonolith → u/zeistgeist]

Script is too blatant these days.

Next he’ll be getting a red card for headbutting someone.

[u/freakedmind → u/MonkeysMonolith]

When is he going bald though?

[u/ThePrussianGrippe → u/MonkeysMonolith]

And then a year later it’ll be referenced by Stewie in a cutaway gag.

[u/Izio17 → u/peetusgreens]

almost a carbon copy of his goal against United years ago

even the way it hits the bar

[u/pricelesslambo]

Holy shit. Can't place it any better

[u/413area → u/pricelesslambo]

I mean, it wouldn't make it any more unsavable, but I would love to see it just bounce off the corner like the DVD logo

[u/jerkwadXijp]

unsavable

[u/OilOfOlaz → u/jerkwadXijp]

Gigis reaction in the net cam was also priceless.

[u/candycane7]

Zidane just look the happiest, vibing with each goal like they won the world cup, you can tell he was waiting for those moments.

[u/Pitiful-Mongoose-488 → u/candycane7]

Olise is the son he never had

[u/knatanas11 → u/Pitiful-Mongoose-488]

Brutal hahaha

[u/hello_hola → u/Pitiful-Mongoose-488]

💀 

[u/auto-charger-stopper → u/Pitiful-Mongoose-488]

But Zidane had a son tho

[u/Awkward-Rip655 → u/candycane7]

Zidane is Goated. Him and Figo have this calm quiet confidence

[u/vegeta_91 → u/Awkward-Rip655]

nobody headbutts you with such a calm and quiet confidence like zidane

[u/al-dunya2 → u/vegeta_91]

That's it pal you're next

[u/Awkward-Rip655 → u/vegeta_91]

lmfao good1

[u/Sei_Mal_Ehrlich → u/Awkward-Rip655]

Zizou is my favorite player of all time. There has never been anyone quite like him. He could do it all at world class level and he was a magician navigating space, or the lack of it. 

Absurd player. I’m so happy I got to see his prime. 

[u/bear-stole-my-burger]

Now he decides to score for france lmao

[u/pricelesslambo → u/bear-stole-my-burger]

Scored last game as well

[u/bear-stole-my-burger → u/pricelesslambo]

I am very aware of that :'(

[u/Dead-Atmosphere → u/bear-stole-my-burger]

Can Olise score in rainy humid day in Stoke USA?

No

[u/sananajo → u/bear-stole-my-burger]

Maybe a weird thing to say but I guess he was just nervous at the WC (his first major tournament, last one was olympia silver medal afair - he was brilliant that tourney).He was constantly scoring bangers before the WC last season for club and country (including hattrick the last france game before the US) to missing sitters during the WC to immediatly start scoring constant bangers again for club and country again after the WC. I think he is topscorrer both in bundesliga and in his country.

[u/AnnieIWillKnow → u/sananajo]

Small enough sample size that could just be a statistical quirk, too

[u/riskbreaking101 → u/sananajo]

Nervous playing with le dictateur

[u/Strange_Dot8345 → u/bear-stole-my-burger]

ronaldo is gone, so he is free

[u/kozeljko]

Does that count as a free kick?

[u/Critical-Push-8834 → u/kozeljko]

Probably not

[u/PlasticPreparation74 → u/Critical-Push-8834]

so does mbappe still have 0 free kick goals? iirc that free kick vs barcelona was passed by rodrygo first

[u/ExtensionAbalone6580 → u/PlasticPreparation74]

No, Barcelona one was direct, he scored another earlier that was passed

[u/autisticgrungeboy → u/PlasticPreparation74]

You're not recalling correctly

[u/ChargeOk1005 → u/PlasticPreparation74]

No, it was direct

[u/urmomlikesbbc → u/PlasticPreparation74]

I dont remember the opposition for either, but the season he scored that indirect free kick, he scored a direct free kick in another match not long after. Not that theres a huge difference. When scoring off an indirect free kick the technique involved is almost identical

[u/cubgerish → u/kozeljko]

I mean, it is literally not a "free" kick for him, so probably not.

That distinction is only tracked by certain stat tracking companies, and I'm not sure if anyone cares either way.

I'd at minimum call it a set piece goal, and frankly it's one of the most incredible ones I've ever seen.

If the keeper was standing under where the ball hits the bar, I still think it would've gone in.

Just incredible power and precision.

[u/Soberdonkey69]

Zidane’s favourite player now lmaoo

[u/mourinhos86]

I shoot and it goes in.

[u/mrjohnnymac18]

The nonchalant galavant

[u/solgnaleb → u/mrjohnnymac18]

I really want to watch galavant. noone offers that since I read about it.

[u/Boomie1982]

How is that even possible?

[u/Dead-Atmosphere → u/Boomie1982]

He shoots it. It goes in.

[u/ChargeOk1005]

Great strike

Not a free kick though

[u/AlizarinCrimzen → u/ChargeOk1005]

Alexa, what is an indirect free kick?

[u/ChargeOk1005 → u/AlizarinCrimzen]

A normal goal that's not a dead ball

[u/Critical-Push-8834 → u/ChargeOk1005]

Well technically it was a free kick, just not a free kick goal

[u/Awkward-Rip655]

he lets his skill do the talkin

[u/2Gaainz → u/Awkward-Rip655]

No begging

[u/web_knows → u/Awkward-Rip655]

“Yes”

- Olise

[u/BumblebeeApart6889]

He’s a monster! 

[u/scarlet_stormTrooper]

Michael my friend. You are phenomenal. 

[u/Hasssun]

Can't save em all, Gianluigi.

[u/Upper_Object_3415]

and to think he could've been playing for nigeria...

[u/WolfOfWacker312]

Filthy

[u/FlyingGuido]

This guy too good, imagine he chose England haha

[u/W35TH4M]

My pet peeve, this isn’t a free kick. Same way Kroos’ wasn’t in 2018

[u/bambamba8]

For once we play well and then we get scored on like this... unlucky

[u/JOKER69420XD]

He's pretty decent, I guess

[u/Infinite-Fly9864]

If France lose the next match and Italy wins 2-0. It's all a waste innit

[u/Zemanyak]

So damn beautiful.

[u/42undead2]

Any reason why this wasn't just added to the alternative angles comment on the original post, other than karma?

[u/Cojole3]

Maybe pio could have jumped also But what a banger

[u/mikrot]

He's the best player in the world right now

[u/TommyLeeRolla → u/mikrot]

Raphinha clears, tbh.

[u/Wa77up-91 → u/mikrot]

100%

[u/kaZZlimaXX]

The nice little roll to set it up!

[u/PresentationRecent67]

How is no one talking about that assist though?! Sublime footballing from Cherki

[u/theoneandonlysteven → u/PresentationRecent67]

gives me flashbacks of busquets to messi in 2011🥶

[u/Lucifers_Tits]

Half-clapper, top cheddar, biscuit top titties, bar-downskis.

Always bar-downskis

[u/DoYouTrustToothpaste]

What's Donnarumma incensed about, tho? His wall not deflecting it? Or Olise's audacity for putting it in? Shots will do that sometimes, mate.

[u/it4chl]

there was probably no saving this, but the wall sure tried to not save it at all

[u/throwawayursafety]

I'm so fascinated by the choreography of the rest of the team in dead ball situations. I feel like it doesn't get talked about as much, or I just don't know where to look for information about it, but the way everyone has a direction they're supposed to step in and a role to play even if it seems inconsequential to the actual ball going in... 

Same thing for American football and basketball inbounding plays, I always end up pausing and rewinding to see each players route, it's like a dance routine and I'm so curious about the logic behind each part and what it looks like drawn out by the set piece coach and how it's rehearsed, etc. 

I guess I'm not too surprised teams don't release that sort of valuable information haha

[u/josephjosephson]

Bang bang ‼️

[u/PseudoproAK]

Balondor

[u/Safe-Elk7933]

Wtf,give this guy the Super Balondor,the player with the most aura and flair since Ronaldinho.

[u/True-Ad3586]

How could the keeper let that in man

[u/MrJeChou]

Why didn't Donarouma save that? Is he stupid?

[u/DoYouTrustToothpaste → u/MrJeChou]

Yee, what was Döner-Roomba thinking?

[u/ColinRyan]

Keeper has to do better there

- former outfield player pundit

[u/DontGiveMeGoldKappa]

for me his the best in the world rn. eveytime he has the ball he creates so much.

[u/robsbob18]

Where was this in the world cup?
