Calm, my dears, calm!

You knew I would eventually post the goal of the week... To atone for my tardiness and the dismal quality of recent posts, I have a special treat: All 3 of Zoltan Gera's goals against San Marino during a EURO '04 qualifier. While it's hardly remarkable for a team to dominate the minnows of Europe, Gera's (underappreciated) skill is on full display here. Perhaps the 3rd goal doesn't belong in these hallowed ranks, but for completion's sake I've included it... and also, not having watched football in nearly a week, I have an awful desire to just see someone stick it in the back of the ol' onion bag, as it were. I rank the goals as follows: 2>1>3 - what do you think?

Fantaskikus! I dunno, it's tough to choose between 1 & 2. Dude seems not to like being rightside-up, and I appreciate that. Something about the football-tumbling combo in #1 reminded me -- more by concept than actual resemblance -- of the 1985 smash-miss action flick Gymkata. But that's just my frame of reference.

Fantasztikus, I mean. I have a speech impediment in Magyar.
