what a goal by peter crouch

[irishpaddy]

i was truly disappointed by john motson commenting on the england game during the week. peter crouchs goal was first class; but all motson went on about was how great beckham was, now i know the pass was good but it was an everyday pass but the way crouch took it on the chest and from there to his boot and from there to the back of the net while moving was a great goal. please people give the man the credit due to him, because his height makes it look awkward does not hide the fact he has some lovely touches. one of my favourite players i must say.

[stunnedmullet]

agreed, and as he tore off to the touchline to celebrate, i had the feeling england would lose. a typical hard-luck story for the bloke, should've been england's saviour. One of the unluckiest players in football.

beckhams cross was good too

It was an outstanding finish.Stoke's route one football at it's brilliant best.
It has goal of the season written all over it.

[idman81]

Just saw it on Match of the Day. Top finish.

fluke

[masterbenji]

saw it this morning..quality strike..and i think he meant it because it was obviously a shot and if you dont try then it wont go in..delighted for the big man

I've watched the goal a few times now to be honest ....

if you notice, from the time he gets the ball and initially controls it, he never glances at the goal which does make me wonder if he was geniunely taking a shot at goal ....

having said that, it's the result that counts and he scored a super goal, so fair play to the big man it's gotta be one of the best I've seen in a long time.

he was clearly taking a shot at goal. 110%. what else was he doing

[Roll on 19]

For a man that has always been referred as lanky and awkward hes now scored two of the most stunning goals I have seen. The one yesterday and the scissors kick for us a few years ago.
Saw the highlights of his match last weekend and some of his heel flick layoffs were outstanding too.

[MR KING KENNY]

Should have kept him

[Coolfran]

Should have kept him

He wouldn't sign a new contract as he knew (and accepted) he would always be second fiddle to Torres.

Re the goal it was incredible but I wasn't that surprised. It was clear very early that was his intention and he's always had near impeccable technique.

fluke


He aimed for the goal and it went in, that was no fluke. If it was Messi that hit it everone would be wetting themselves going on about a great finish but because it is lanky Crouch we get the snobby football comments.

[PaddyW]

It was nothing but an outstanding goal. When I saw it first, my first thought was "What a f**cking goal". Need ya say more!

great goal by crouchie

Pretty sure that "fluke" comment was a joke, no?

[Ron1892]

Thats what happens when you have long legs....

[frank101]

goal of the season, unless someone scores from the halfway line

[blackbetty69]

Crouch pulls these unreal goals out every so often, no more than the bicycles he scored for us! still a great player imo

[leonsdaddy]

Class goal by crouchy. Not at all surprised by it either the man has unbelievable technique. He definently meant it.
