Who Ate All the Pies 17 August @ 05:32 AM EST
LONG SHOOOOOOOOOT! Holy sushi, that is one brilliant finish, just as impressive as David Beckham's famous lob against Wimbledon, or Xabi Alonso's effort against Newcastle Utd. If you're interested, Uesato plays for Consadole Sapporoin the J-League's second tier. His goal...

Who Ate All the Pies 29 July @ 05:48 AM EST
Diego showed wonderful poise in the penalty area to score on his Juventus debut, in the Italian team's Peace Cup match against Seongnam of Korea. This is the sort of ability he showed regularly in the Bundesliga for Werder Bremen:...

Falcao scores genius indoor goal (with video evidence)

Who Ate All the Pies 06 July @ 08:11 AM EST
Our chums at The Spoiler claimed that this beautiful goal was scored by the Falcao, i.e. the Art Garfunkel lookalike who played alongside Zico and Socrates in the Eighties. But unless my eyes deceive me, the Falcao who scored...

Forgotten wonder goals: Serge Pizzorno from Kasabian scores on Soccer AM

Who Ate All the Pies 02 June @ 04:03 AM EST
And he was wearing rock and roll shoes! The Kasabian guitarist apparently once harboured ambitions of playing up front for Leicester City and on this evidence there is no reason why he couldn't leave his rock 'n' roll lifestyle behind...

Brazilian goalkeeper scores from his own penalty area

Who Ate All the Pies 04 May @ 12:14 PM EST
Just look at Avia keeper Eduardo Martini frantically weighing up his options. He eventually settles on belting it as hard as he can, and I bet he is glad he did now. One of those bizarre kicks of the turf and a loop over the Parana keeper later, and Eduardo is a goalscoring hero.

Euro Classics: Ronnie Whelan's scissor kick against USSR, 1988

Who Ate All the Pies 04 June @ 02:31 AM EST
Surely this spectacular volley from the Republic of Ireland's Ronnie Whelan signalled the end of the Soviet Union. Or maybe not given that the USSR managed to draw this group game and force their way into the final. Yorkshire's Mick McCarthy launches a long-throw in and ginger Dubliner Whelan does the rest.

Forgotten wonder goals: Robbie Fowler owns Steve Staunton, Liverpool vs Aston Villa 1996

Who Ate All the Pies 13 May @ 07:54 AM EST
God at the peak of his powers As first touches go, they don't come much better than Fowler's backheel nutmeg, which leaves Steve Staunton looking even more clueless than he did in his time as manager of Ireland. The finish... Click to continue reading...

Who Ate All the Pies 08 May @ 09:47 AM EST

Match of the Day 2's 2 Good, 2 Bad review of the season

Who Ate All the Pies 07 May @ 05:09 AM EST
Throughout the season the 2 Good, 2 Bad feature on Match of the Day 2 has been good for the occasional chuckle. They rounded up their 2007-08 coverage with a compilation of some of the best bits of the season, as well as last weekend's funny moments. It is worth watching for some true Gaydar moments involving Danny Murphy and Jimmy Bullard, and Sulley Muntari and a ref. Click to continue reading...

He then decides to start treating defenders like training ground cones on his way to goal. Click to continue reading...

Forgotten wonder goals - Paul Scholes' sweet volley from David Beckham's corner, 2000

Who Ate All the Pies 27 March @ 04:43 AM EST
As the commentator on this clip notes, you would be delighted if this came off in a training session never mind a Premier League game. David Beckham drifts a pinpoint corner to the edge of the penalty area for Scholesy to volley home with a perfect finish. Scholes himself has cited this as the best goal he has scored.
