We Need a Name For This Type of Goal

Stefan Gislason scored this magnificent opening goal in Brondby’s 3-0 win over Nordsjaelland yesterday, but I can’t properly enjoy it until I know what it’s called. Is it a karate kick? Is it a scissor kick? Or should it be called something else entirely. All suggestions welcome. And if anyone comes up with an indisputably perfect name for this move, then we’ll promise to adopt it as an official term on The Offside.

More examples below:

"The Chun-Li"

Hum, i'm afraid the first personn who do it, beyond my memory was Luis Fernandez with the Racing club of Paris, in ligue 1 ( i don't remember against which team) and in innternational match against Spain may be. He do it at least twice and was at more than 35 m. In France, commentators call this kind of goal "but à la Luis Fernandez" (Goal in the way of L F).
Donald sigovich

rather than daniel-san, how about 'the crane' as it was called in the movie
Tommy

in England atleast, this is called a "Millwall Kick", due to its no-nonsense volley straight to to the head/ball
Elmo

i like 'ninja-kick'
and the wax on wax off celebration to go with it.
Steve

and in no way is that a tijeras or scissor kick.
Steve

ummm... its called a full volley.
moka

They pulled a Di Polason :D
Mike

It looks like a Ninja Kick sort of deal.
Albo

That kick is called "tijera" in South America.
Means: scissor.
Inky

The Daniel-san was my first choice as well.

Perhaps if it catches on, the goal scorer will celebrate with a "Wax on, wax off" motion.

The Daniel-san. It will also be acceptable to play Peter Cetera's "Glory of Love" to replays of goals like this.

Ideally, the Daniel-san kick will be executed immediately after the team has been denied a penalty appeal that came when their opponents performed a "sweep the leg" move in the penalty box.

Kind of like the Cruyff turn, but you know, better.

I'm very sorry but I'm afraid you're all wrong. Surely it must be named after the first person in living memory to do it - the one and only Steve McManaman while at Madrid:

Maybe the MaccyM volley?

I came here to say exactly what Michael said. He just got here before me.

This is non-negotiable. It must be "The Daniel-san".

The kick must be called "The Daniel-san". Mr Miyagi demanded it so. When possible, the "You're the best....around...no one's ever gonna getcha down..." song from the movie should be played with the footage.
