An Outrageous Scorpion Kick Goal

Most amazing goals consist of incredible strikes from distance or a goalie scoring off of a corner kick to save the day, but this one is quite special. Thomas Luciano, a 14-year-old defender at club Gremio out of Brazil scored a goal for the ages off of a woodwork ricochet. After the ball came bounding off of the crossbar, quick thinking allowed Thomas to execute a perfectly time skorpion kick that put the ball over the keeper in a chaotic moment. This golazo is definitely worth a few good watchings!

An Unstoppable Firecracker From David Silva

Goals like these from the Spanish are going to make Euro 2016 very, very exciting. David Silva put his sniper specialized left foot to the test against South Korea in a warm up match for Spain. From about 30 yards out, Silva hit a firecracker that went bar down in the upper right corner, virtually giving South Korea's shot stopper no chance at ruining the beautiful moment. Spain's shot at redemption from their falter in 2014 will be tested in this upcoming month as they begin their Euro 2016 debut on June 13th.

GOAL GOAL USA!!

As Ian Darke would say: "Goal Goal USA!" The USA utilized their substitute Darlington Nagbe to the best of scenarios.

An exciting moment for him and the USA as they prepare for Copa America.

This is a problem that I was immediately faced with when I saw that rom7ooo had made a video of the 100 best goals of the year.
