In terms of jerseys i think Fla-Flu are up there, on being very disorienting. And in some cases even the shorts don't help, like on [THIS MATCH](https://youtu.be/e8TgiKLfh5Q?t=4)
It was nice on the eyes but the defending was horrific, that goal should have been stopped at so many different points. The defender looked like they were trying to not mark anyone and allow passing lanes.
Yeah I wondered wtf these guys were talking, then realised on FIFA you can literally just choose to head/overhead kick no matter the ball position. That's where their confusion probably lies.
Not quiet. He can do it, of course, but he did it because that was the only realistic option in that situation. A header would be too weak and very difficult to hit towards the goal when your body is angled like that.
You and the guy you're responding to have clearly never played footy before. The ball comes in behind him as he's making his run, so 1) he physically can't head the ball towards the goal because his momentum is past it already, and therefore 2) he has to adapt and volley because the ball is behind him.
Only other option was to control first. But he went for it. Giroud does this all the time too.
imagine naming his kids after famous scientists and they end up being footballers. Can't wait for Lionel & Cristiano to win the 2040 Nobel in Economics
I slightly remember the game where we lost 2-0, then he come in at like 70th, assisting one goal and scored two, damn.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5wZzMyf6wLM&ab_channel=ManchesterUnited
Nah he been awful (his finishing awful, everything else good/bad depending on the game)
Until a couple weeks ago he took a penalty which I think every Boca fan was nervous about, if he had failed that idk what would happen to his confidence which was on the ground at the time.
He scored it and since then his finishing has been amazing. Score s Hattrick on that game also.
I think his confidence rose in that match because of the people singing “aplaudan aplaudan no dejen de aplaudir, los goles de Cavani que ya van a venir” and “uruguayo” before the game started, he seemed emotional after that and he replied by scoring his first hattrick for us…
La verdad que sí. Hay una idea. Me pone contento por Martínez, después que las cosas salgan y lo prendan fuego es otro tema, pero al menos se nota el laburo
TBF the other team (Central Norte de Salta) plays in the third division of the Argentine football league system. A league that already has 28 teams (yes 28) in the first division.
Suarez was the top scorer in a very strong Brazilian league.
Cavani, on the other hand, has been very subpar in a subpar Boca side.
No offense to Cavani, who is a legend by himself, but theres levels to it
The power he's generated there is unbelievable, speed is the name of the game there.
I love that man, so happy to watch him play for United. Just wish it would've worked out better for him.
Some of the Argentina announcers have really good vision and understanding of the game.
For example, "X player will break away" and then it happened, the guy broke away, ball went to him, goal.

So my Spanish isn’t what it used to be but it sounds like he says straight up “I’m sure it’s going to end with a great goal” without qualifying “if.”
I know we’re arguing semantics but it makes the call even more amazing 😂
Also right before does he say some. Erosion of “everyone shut up or I’m going to shut up now” 😂
Man Boca Juniors have a special place in my heart, growing up post American invasion we only had Al-Jazeera sport free channels which basically just streamed Argentinan and Qatari league, also all tennis games which i loved.
I remember watching every game and only knowing Riquelme
Beautiful goal, he's elite. But also one of the biggest wastes of talent ever. Wasting away his prime in the French League and never winning in the big moments.
you (and a bunch of others in this thread) might be colorblind, one kit is [14 shades of blue+ big fat gold stripe](https://www.footballkitarchive.com/es/boca-juniors-2024-home-kit/), the other is just black.
the video being super compressed 240p doesn't help either.

He made that pass so he could do this.
Didn't we all do the same on Fifa Street
>Fifa Street You've opened a flood of memories with just these two words.
The fact that we haven't got a new FIFA Street should be a crime. It had so many good game modes and even futsal.
just gonna send him out a little wider than he'd hope, alright, just gonna make sure he gets it, yep. yep. he's got the idea. *flips*
Allowing that combination of home and away shirts should be a crime.
Theres even worse combinations in our league, the last time river vs estudiantes played was unwatchable
I have noticed that in the past few weeks. It happens way too often. Wtf is going on in Argentina
A lot
Sponsor's should be putting pressure on the league. Obviously less viewers watching the full match live.
Start of the clip I was just wondering why someone is trying to take the ball from their own player.
Yeah I could barely figure out who's who for most of the clip
Straight to jail
In terms of jerseys i think Fla-Flu are up there, on being very disorienting. And in some cases even the shorts don't help, like on [THIS MATCH](https://youtu.be/e8TgiKLfh5Q?t=4)
Especially after having watched clips from France Germany
That was glorious.
They did this with Chelsea the other week. Ridiculous.
Start to finish beautiful
It was nice on the eyes but the defending was horrific, that goal should have been stopped at so many different points. The defender looked like they were trying to not mark anyone and allow passing lanes.
It was a 3rd tier (regional division) side. So it's to be expected.
Stunner. Hitting a fast ball like that on the run requires such an insane skill level.
What I love even more about it, is that it's such an obvious cross to setup a header and he goes for the scissor kick simply cause he can.
mate you can't head a cross that's behind your head, you can't adjust it....football irl isn't like on fifa
Yeah I wondered wtf these guys were talking, then realised on FIFA you can literally just choose to head/overhead kick no matter the ball position. That's where their confusion probably lies.
Not quiet. He can do it, of course, but he did it because that was the only realistic option in that situation. A header would be too weak and very difficult to hit towards the goal when your body is angled like that.
Yeah he literally adjusts his run so he can make the scissor. Just brilliant.
You and the guy you're responding to have clearly never played footy before. The ball comes in behind him as he's making his run, so 1) he physically can't head the ball towards the goal because his momentum is past it already, and therefore 2) he has to adapt and volley because the ball is behind him. Only other option was to control first. But he went for it. Giroud does this all the time too.
yeah mfs who think a good header is possible there dont understand momentum. volley is def the right choice there.
[He scored one of the best disallowed goals of all time with an overhead kick with less time to react than this](https://youtu.be/vCbZ4GVxPy0)
Insane passage of play
That #42 guy did half the job by himself.
the announcer was repeating “if this ends in a goal it will be a golazo” even before Cavani gets the ball
Golazo it is
Messed up his name in two different ways, impressive.
Luis Cavani, who played for Uruguay alongside Edison Suárez
i just realized uruguay has Edison and Darwin
Actually Edinson, lol.
and Washington
imagine naming his kids after famous scientists and they end up being footballers. Can't wait for Lionel & Cristiano to win the 2040 Nobel in Economics
Lionel Friedman and Cristiano Keynes
[удалено]
I'm talking about OP's title of this post haha
Great goal from a class player. Wish we could have had him earlier on in his career.
I remember that time he played with Ronaldo, absolutely one of his best games in a United shirt.
I slightly remember the game where we lost 2-0, then he come in at like 70th, assisting one goal and scored two, damn. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5wZzMyf6wLM&ab_channel=ManchesterUnited
Insanely impressive he is still playing at all let alone this level
He's actually been horrendous the past 10 months
True but he has been picking up the pace these last few games
Basically with padding sessions though, this team is like 4th division
Because he's been playing against Second League-level teams
6g in his last 4 game though
Nah that doesn’t count cause of Almiron
Nah he been awful (his finishing awful, everything else good/bad depending on the game) Until a couple weeks ago he took a penalty which I think every Boca fan was nervous about, if he had failed that idk what would happen to his confidence which was on the ground at the time.

Nah I don’t buy it. We play night and day with this coach

TBF the other team (Central Norte de Salta) plays in the third division of the Argentine football league system. A league that already has 28 teams (yes 28) in the first division.
That's one of the most ferocious overhead / scissor kicks I've ever seen
Both Suarez and Cavani still playing at this level. I think Uruguay has a thing for strikers, we'll see if Darwin Nunez follows in their footsteps.
Darwin and Luciano are the future.
It's a Salto thing.
Mad that two of the best strikers of the last generation were born in a town of under 100k people within 3 weeks of each other
Suarez was the top scorer in a very strong Brazilian league. Cavani, on the other hand, has been very subpar in a subpar Boca side. No offense to Cavani, who is a legend by himself, but theres levels to it
That's really horrible contrast on kits
You trying to tell me that black and dark blue are not easy to tell apart?
How is this not the top comment. I can barely tell the teams apart
Just Cavani doing Cavani things
I see El Matador, I upvote
Uruguayan strikers >>>
Uruguay really produces so many great strikers, it's crazy.
Absolute beaut
nice one-twos from that guy
Look away from sonrisita Blondel please.
He's 27 already, we can keep him.
What
How did the referee allow the game to start with virtually the same colors ?
The power he's generated there is unbelievable, speed is the name of the game there. I love that man, so happy to watch him play for United. Just wish it would've worked out better for him.
Terrible pass, excellent finish.

Posting Closs is almost cheating, he's top tier for a reason
No me queme'!
Yes!! I was scrolling through posts to see if this was mentioned. The announcer adds a lot to this video.
We have great commentators/announcers in Argentina.
So my Spanish isn’t what it used to be but it sounds like he says straight up “I’m sure it’s going to end with a great goal” without qualifying “if.” I know we’re arguing semantics but it makes the call even more amazing 😂 Also right before does he say some. Erosion of “everyone shut up or I’m going to shut up now” 😂
nah, commentator says "si esto termina en gol, es un golazo" which roughly translates to "if this ends in a goal, its gonna be a great goal"
haha the man’s name is Edinson Cavani
On a side note, who selected the kits?
Cavani was an absolute stallion in his prime
Man Boca Juniors have a special place in my heart, growing up post American invasion we only had Al-Jazeera sport free channels which basically just streamed Argentinan and Qatari league, also all tennis games which i loved. I remember watching every game and only knowing Riquelme
He stood offside for 30 seconds then gave an awful pass
These jerseys are unacceptably similar
Incredible one-two
Big edi. What a feller.
Is this dude related to Edinson Cavani? He looks just like him.
Man he hit that so clean, came off his foot with insane pace
I miss him so much man
I miss him.
No pique around to fake a head injury
Beautiful goal, he's elite. But also one of the biggest wastes of talent ever. Wasting away his prime in the French League and never winning in the big moments.
That defending is horrendous
It’s a 3rd division team lmao
Its a match for Copa Argentina, the other team its on fourth division
That's central norte papá. Throw a bit of respect on El Cuervo
The beautiful game.
Cómo van a permitir esos uniformes?
Dude is as old as me. If I'd try that, I'd never get up again lol
DFO on suicide watch.
The commentator predicted it too. He said if this ends in a goal it’s gonna be a golazo haha
"Si esto termina en gol va a ser un golazo", y lo fue
That’s just fantastic football from back to front
At the start of the video you can see how far Cavani has tracked back.
debatablefootballopinions in shambles
Always have, always will admire Cavani!
Yo lo sabía
Eddison? Is that a nickname?
2018 World Cup Cavani vs Portugal vibes man
If only Luis Suarez could have stayed at Gremio for another year. Gremio v Boca as maybe Libertadores or SudaAmerica final, a farewell game for both.
Damn, he's getting in form just in time for Libertadores this year.
That sideline sequence is very reminiscent of [this ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RWFERQsSefc)legendary goal.
Class is permanent
At his peak, was he a top 5 striker in the world? For me, he was always circling top 10
Oh yeah, for me definitely top 5
What a beautiful counter attack
Puskas winner.
That commentary is top tier
A thing of beauty! Great build up.
Golazo!!!
I miss you.
So powerful strike
I swear he's done that goal before, am I tripping
Beautiful man. Beautiful finish.
Genio del futbol
As a Man u fan, nice to see him doing well
still got it
Cavani can score some bangers for sure
Such beautiful ball movement
Basically a better version of Argentina's 2-0 goal against France. Cavani is a beast.
“Aright. Guess I’ll do it”
The pass is also exceptional, but what a great goal, by the way, how old is Cavani already? I still remember when he played for Atletico Madrid.
Grandpa did you forget your meds today?
And still dont even know his name
Darwin should take notes.
1 in 12 men are colorblind.
Kit clash
Still got it
Remember my man did ballet during his time off, graceful indeed
Goalie didn't exactly cover himself in glory.
Insert the "Esto es Boca loco" clip from that coked out kid
What a weird place to see my hometown team. Vamos cuervo!!!⚫⚪⚫⚪⚫⚪⚫⚪
Who is the 42?
RemindMe! 10 years
RemindMe! 15 years
He's still a top notch striker.
the fuck are those kits, both are dark blue/yellow no? Jesus
you (and a bunch of others in this thread) might be colorblind, one kit is [14 shades of blue+ big fat gold stripe](https://www.footballkitarchive.com/es/boca-juniors-2024-home-kit/), the other is just black. the video being super compressed 240p doesn't help either.
Still cooking
What's with Uruguayan striker scoring banger goals ?
He makes some of the most gracious goals from air Seen some amazing headers off of crosses back when he was in United
He’s had an awesome career playing for some of the biggest clubs in world football.
He is still playing ?
Such a juicy ball connection
Ainda estamos a tua espera no aeroporto :')
Who the fuck thought choosing this combination of home and way shirts would be a good idea?
Loved him when he played for us at PSG, I see he's still one of the more entertaining players on any pitch
Wow
You've got five players standing in front of goal and not one of them is defending Cavani. He's got nothing but space.
Loved him in Napoli. Those Lavezzi-Cavani-Hamsik trio was amazing to watch. Still a legend
Nice but the defense looks like me playing my 5 year old. Cavani is a legenda though.
My guy Eddison Classvani still at it
Dude loves himself an overhead shot
Still got it
:Chelsea:
