You Say Rabona, I Say Crossed-Kick
By: Bob | May 8th, 2007Now that the term Rabona is firmly a part of my active vocabulary – too bad I didn’t know it when I took my college entrance exams – it is time to celebrate the move with a YouTube video replete with rockin’ music and loads of players doing it without much purpose. For those scoring at home, I typed this post doing a Rabona with my arms. Remarkably the grammar and spelling are as lousy as always. Thanks for teaching me something new today, kids. This learnin’ thing is kinda fun.

The Vazquez goal was the first time I’d seen a goal scored on a rabona, but here’s one by Dave de Jong from a couple years ago in Germany. It seems like a bizarre thing to try, but in this clip de Jong says he practiced them since he was a kid, so when he saw the ball and didn’t think he could quite reach it with his left foot, his intuition was to just do a rabona. Pretty awesome.

First time I ever saw this move was in a Harry Kewell adidas advert:

I sorta can’t believe I didn’t know (at the least, had forgotten) such a cool term! And what a sweet goal.
Also, “loads of players doing it without much purpose.”? Slightly disappointing. I can’t decide if that refers to the latest Sunderland sex tape or Arsenal’s inability to score goals after 23-pass set-ups.

btb, “rabo” refers to an animal’s tail in Spanish… which I think might be where the term originates.

Could not imagine a better description of Sunderland Sex Tape! It should absolutely be the sub-title on the DVD jacket. (At least some of Arsenal’s passes might have been attractive even when they failed to finish…)

vasquez’s is a little less than 10 times better than this but this is my personal favorite, courtesy of the boy cristiano:
