Thanks to this brilliant find by the The Beautiful Game, some of you non-soccer purists can see just how great the game really is when individual skill is on display like we have in the video below:
The first one is a brilliant strike, courtesy of a nifty volley. The end result made the goalie look a little lost, although he does deserve some credit for at least trying to make the save.
In the second goal, you are treated to some incredibly ball-handling that results in the attacker absolutely dekeing the opposing defense so severely, all he has to do it touch it in. All of the action took place in the San Luis/Pumas match and some believe these two offerings may be two of the best goals scored all year.
While Cristiano Ronaldo’s backheel ranks right up there:
The first two will be hard to ignore.
Stumble it!

That first goal is what gives keepers nightmares. Absolutely unstoppable volley.
I had to watch the Ronaldo goal twice to catch what he did. How good is he going to be in South Africa in 2010?

Hopefully, he won’t have to resort to diving — followed by a punk-ass wink — just to get an opposing player kicked out.
