are you saying that what Johan did was not technically difficult…what else do you want him to do…hit with his right, then left, and then head it into the goal?? jeez

That Johan goal might just be my favourite goal of ever, I never tire of seeing it. Posted over at the CL offside a few times.

The Cantona kick was a big part of my childhood though.

i disagree, what would have been technically difficult is to strike with the opposing leg, in Cruyff’s case, with is left leg since he would have to completely turn his body towards the goal.

Any man who kung-fu kicks a fan in the face and then tells the media to blow off stylistically (not Joe Kinnear style) deserves some respect.

Of course, Cruijff kick was much more difficult technically.

Cantona, all the way.
