Hey Dan Mullen, I just found you a kicker.

Is that exciting in soccer?

Charlie Adam helped me win some fantasy premier leagues back in the 2010-11 season when he was with Blackpool.

Yes. It doesn't seem it'd be that hard to make a shot like that, but it was pretty incredible.

It's more of a horrible play by the goalie but it is difficult to drive the ball that long of a distance where the goalie couldn't recover. He didn't put much air under it.

 

[patdog]

In the goalie's defense, he's probably more likely to get himself into trouble in that situation if he hugs the goal line and leaves acres of space for runners to get into behind the defensive line. Not a great play by him for sure, but not as bad as it looked.

 

[Philly Dawg]

There aren't many professional players that can get that much pace on a ball that goes that distance. Adam has a very above average foot. It's not like the ball was sitting still on the ground and he got to run up and boot it; he was dribbling, turned, and unleased it.

Having said that, I doubt he went to college. Maybe he has some eligibility.

He was up in no-man's land, past the penalty arc when the kick was taken. Had he stayed (or moved into) a couple yards inside the penalty box when the other team took possession he would have been fine.

Keeper looked like Toast Smith getting beat on a deep ball.

 

[Dawgg]

Honestly, I think he could do worse than picking up Ariana Holmes off our soccer team.

I took the kids to see them play at SMU last week and I'm pretty sure she could nail it from 50+ yards if she wanted to.
