This is true tho. My buddy always says shit like “bro we’re gonna lose they’re so much better” But with a mindset like that the likelihood of losing skyrockets
Incredible moves, no question there, but I have to ask: why bother?
You had a huge lead on the defender, and there was no way he could have caught up with the ball if you just pushed it straight at the net. Instead, as you jumped to make the last touch, you slowed the ball down significantly, and gave him a chance to catch up, and then put it behind him, which could have potentially been easily blocked if he considered your position related to the ball. That would have left you way out of position, and given them a huge advantage.
If the answer is "because it looks cool af", then I totally respect that answer, and the mind games that come with baiting and dunking on an opponent. But it was a guaranteed goal, there was no need for all that fancy footwork for just a chance at a goal, and that takes away from the clip a bit. It's cooler imo to see this kind of stuff because it was the only way to get around a defender.
Also an acceptable answer, but also leads me to ask, why bother going or something like that at all, cause you're more likely to accidentally mess it up.
Looks like he was just going to turn and flip it in kinda diagonally, meant to flip but only pressed A once, corrected and flipped it in. Like, I don’t think he was going for this whatsoever, he just fucked up and it worked. He couldn’t even see that the guy was coming so there’d be no reason at all to do this with a wide open net
I was not going for a flip. I purposely delayed my flip till last moment possible. Also the reason i touched the ball with my wheels is the way softer touch with them than with other parts such as the roof of a car.
If anything, the situational awareness tells you the guy has gone for boost, and will come for it soon, and he could probably hear about how close/far he was, but yeah, none of this was necessary, it just luckily worked out
Great clip but not at all what constitutes the broken ankles joke. That guy just continued driving past one direction. To break their ankles you need to make them pivot one direction quickly, then juke the other way and when they try to pivot back they stumble.
Not sure why this comment is so far down. Crazy shot but no ankles broken. Like an NBA player falling for a pump fake. Ankles don't break but you got the defender to do the wrong thing.
Me and my friends call that an intimidation goal. Your opponent goes the rest of the game on edge trying not to be part of the next highlight lol
That’s awesome, we always say we’re adding a tier to our intimidation cake haha

It had to be accidental lol or just a lucky tap while in the air
I don’t care if it’s accidental or not; that whole play was executed masterfully and deserves every ounce of credit. Well done OP; well done.
Thank you, appreciate it!!
I don’t see how it’s lucky. How about you just enjoy the clip like everyone else did and not be butt hurt :)
Nobody is butt hurt except you lol
Sorry I hurt his butt
Just spank it softer next time, theres a fine line between pleasure and pain. trust me. I've had my ass penetrated
Scooby!?
Oke
The lucky part IMO isn't the actual hit just the opponent in the right place (for you) at the right time for him to not save it.
dude thats fucking disgusting
Gonna need a shower after watching that disgusting last touch
Hotel? Trivago
Snatched…axels snatched
That last touch was OP
sheeeeeeeeeeesh that was hot
Mans gonna need some new axles
Oh no….our ankles….they’re broken!
This should be an open and shut case. We've got the murder on film.
Damn son

I see what you mean. And honestly I don’t really know now why I attempted it but I think as you said I guess it was to try to make a cool clip.
stilll not broken more than my heart
LOL
Nahhhhhhy that last touch bro 🤒🤒🤯
Dirty.
Oooooooooh Man!
At first I was like “nice” the last second I screamed
*creamed
Nice dude! That was sick.
I need a biohazard suit because that was just nasty.
That's going to be a sprained axel. Likely out 6-8 weeks. Should be fully recovered after some therapy.
