A player scoring but not entering opponents half, ideal for us

Beauty.

I hate seeing keepers out of their area and am surprised we don't see more goals like this.

It's not as good as Steve Sidwell's with his wrong foot.

And no chance of being offside, either.

It was an empty goal. Even I could score that

Wow.

It was a terrific goal and no little skill was needed. Time and time again better players than Rooney miss from there.

 

[Biscuit]

That is a great strike.

takes fair amount of skill, most would fluff it.

Indeed most would miss, but I rarely see it even attempted. I don't believe that's because it's not worth the risk, often the alternative is just standard build-up play.
