This Is Just A Terrible, Terrible Goal
If there is an anti-golazo, it's this. Witness, from France, one of the worst goals you'll see. On a penalty, the goalkeeper makes the initial save and as he does a sort of celebratory trot, he's bested by some downright sneaky english. ...

Sometimes, the lowlight is more impressive than the highlight. Frank Mason's crossover wasn't that abrupt, but West Virginia's Gary Browne still ended up on the floor.
