McBride Header Goal
Posted by kkirkland | Filed under Uncategorized
I wanted to add to our last post by adding a video clip of last nights Brian McBride goal. It was one of the most unreal finesse goals I’ve seen in a long time. It takes some serious skill to be able to not only redirect a crossed ball in traffic, but to have the presence of mind to use his head to slow the ball down. Typically a keeper is expecting the ball to accelerate off of a player’s head. However, with this goal, McBride has the ability to absorb some of the ball’s velocity, which causes the keeper to react too soon. This leaves him descending as the ball floats into the far corner of the goal. Just watch the first 1 minute of this video.
