So you think you could take a 40 yard pass and head it into a goal without much problem. It has to have the right touch, the pass has velocity on it. Heading a 40 yard pass can see the ball go in any direction.
It’s been 44 years since a header that far away has been scored. That speaks for itself.
Convincing win by Colombia, 3-0, over Greece.
They look like a team that could make some noise.
While the goal looked pretty, it was not a spectacular goal. The distance from goal does not make it an exceptionally difficult header.
It could not have been set up any better. Had he missed, no knowledgeable person would have said it was a difficult chance. Most would have said he should have put it in the back of the net.
You don’t know the game as well as you think.
