Wow! That was a great goal, whether intentional or not!
The coolest goal I've ever scored in my life was a complete accident. At the Hahnville JV tournament three years ago (I was a sophomore) I tried to volley a goal kick in the air before the ball touched the ground near the 18-yard box. I mistimed it horribly of course, and the ball went about 60-70 feet straight up in the air, with no exaggeration at all. Everyone, including myself and the goalkeeper, thought it was going to go way over the goal, so he didn't even bother trotting back to cover the goal. Then out of nowhere the ball had a crazy dip at the last second and bounced straight into the goal!
The players were stunned, the coaches were stunned, the crowd was stunned, the referee nearly choked on his whistle from laughing. I still can't believe it. The linesman told me after the match that in 45 years of refereeing he'd never seen a goal even remotely similar to mine. I couldn't do that again if I had 100,000 tries.
Sometimes the soccer gods are just on your side.

Just seeing this. Wow. And yes, that was intentional. When you go full screen, you can see her watching the ball, even though she's falling. She makes the effort, and low and behold, it goes in! That was awesome. You can't teach situational awareness.
