Great skill and finish... BUT I have NEVER seen the point of why people do this / try this when they can just kick a ball normally?!!! Yes maybe there's a small case if one foot is a lot stronger that the other but it's weird and I guess just showboating?

A kid playing for out side once did this from a CORNER - the other team went mental (as it's a bit disrespectful) and rightly so imo - we had to calm a few of them down.. Let alone his own team mates who bollocked him (rightly so) as the corner barely made the near post!

Wasn't it David Dunn who did it once and fell over and Steve Bruce, his manager was in stitches?! Played it on MOTD 2 all season if I recall..

you can make good contact with a ball thats coming in too close otherwise. in this case he's too far away if he takes one step and too close with two.

I kind of appreciate that but the majority who try it seem to only make good contact occasionally - maybe I'm speaking as a donkey centre half who wouldn't try such a thing :lol:

I was about to say these must be the words of a centre half!

Football is an entertainment game - a lot fans pay their money hoping to see moments of magic. What Lamella did was a piece of magic. In the context of the match and tournament it was a fairly reasonable thing to do in terms of the risk/reward, and the reward was a fantastic piece of skill. I don't think you'd see him do it if Spurs were 1-0 down against Arsenal at WHL!
