Soccer Mania

Congratulations to our Gaumee Team!

Indeed last night's was an extraordinary match, our National Team got their hands on the SAFF championship trophy ... for the first time!!. They beat previous champions and tournament favourite India one goal to nil. I never thought that Muhkthar would be the one to provide the deciding goal. Fantastic!

So to celebrate our win and to celebrate the wonderful game of soccer, I present to you some favourite soccer memoirs.

First up let me share with you the world's best 5 goals. For lack of a better name lets call it the ping pong goals.

Fantastic goals for coaches and students of soccer to watch again and again

We are fortunate that last night's match didn't have to go into extra time or worse yet, penalties. Our team has a terrible record in penalty taking. However, if we do stumble upon it, it would be sensible to be prepared for it. The following videos would provide us with some valuable insight into the secret world of penalty taking

Let us first take a look at how to take the perfect penalty

Legal move?

And that's how you do it. Then again, its nothing compared to the world's best penalty. Unfortunately, the following is not on a regular match, perhaps due to its requirement for perfect delivery. This is a must see, guaranteed to send heads spinning.

Best penalty ever

And finally lets check out on goal keeping. Its the toughest job on the pitch and rarely receives any recognition, let us hope that Subrata Pal and Imran can learn some lessons from this.
