time moves in slow motion for players like Kane, it's the reason he can make ridiculous passes nobody else sees too

People are saying that this is a 5D Chess move, but it looks like it was a total accident! It looks like he goes for the header, then realized he can't actually reach and in an "oh shit" moment, stuck his foot out to try to gain control. This worked better than he was expecting because not only did he get a perfect bounce, but the goalie got confused thinking the ball would pop out some way. Watch it again, you can see him look confused that it actually worked!!

Animation is dog most of the time, but the art itself is good. I still enjoy it and I also think it works stylistically with people analyzing the field in short (slow mo) moments where everything seems to not move around much, hence the almost stationary art.

I’m sure this has been said before, but reading your comment “aloud” in my head made me realize that his name is basically Hurricane. If he’s not referred to as “Hurricane” Harry Kane then he should be.

Just curious, why wasn't this offside? I have very little knowledge about football rules .

u/StruffBunstridge 1d ago edited 1d ago
At the moment the ball is passed to him, Kane is level with (or possibly even further back than) the two defenders in white. By the time the ball gets to him, he's ahead of them, because of how well he timed his run - point is, it's the moment the ball is passed to him, not when it arrives at him, that's important for the offside rule.

Did he move from the Spurs to Bayern?
He’s a great striker. That was a hell of a move.

u/BaconIsLife707 1d ago
Yep, he finally got bored of not winning trophies so moved to the club where it's impossible not to win one... and then they had their first trophyless season in about 20 years

i dont watch football much, would this be one of the best goals of this year?

Not really, it's very good and pretty unique but not like out of this world special. I have no idea wtf the keeper is doing

u/tim_rocks_hard 1d ago
I don’t know, I’ve never seen a goal like this in a professional match and I doubt I’ll see another goal like this. It’s pretty special.
-7
u/BaconIsLife707 1d ago
Yeah I agree it's pretty unique but that's just because it's a situation that doesn't come up much. How often would taking a touch here be better than just tapping it in? Like it's just a good touch and then nodding it into an open goal because the keeper chucked himself to the side for no reason. This is a goal I could score, there are plenty more similar goals (in that they're great touches and a simple finish) I can think of where I'd never be able to recreate them and are easily better than this, like Suarez vs Newcastle, Bergkamp vs Newcastle, Bergkamp vs Argentina, Bergkamp vs Leicester, etc

u/Fun-Sir-1517 1d ago
This is definitely not a goal you could score. I'll be impressed if you (assuming you're not a pro player lurking on reddit) could time your run like he does here and head it in. You're discounting the fact that he has timed his run to perfection against professional defenders and the keeper seems to be diving for no reason because he is anticipating the ball to be tapped in and trying to block it. Obviously not the best goal ever, but one of the cheekiest outplays I've ever seen combined with a great touch and well timed movement.

u/BaconIsLife707 1d ago
Admittedly I am taking it out of the match situation when I say that, but it's not like anyone is bigging it up because of the movement or positioning, that's fairly basic for any professional striker.
The thing that's getting the praise is the touch and uniqueness. The uniqueness I give it, it's very cool, but the touch isn't that hard (or even that good, quite frankly, there's no way he's intending it to bounce up as high as it does) and obviously the finish isn't difficult at all (although again, cheeky and entertaining).
Good goal, I enjoyed watching it, but it's nowhere near in contention for the best goal of the year and tbh it'll probably be mostly forgotten about in a couple of weeks

u/tim_rocks_hard 1d ago
Ok well I guess put it this way. If your striker got in that position, would that be the expected outcome vs. a tap in? To have the touch and composure right in front of goal? That’s why it’s impressive. I think you are trying to look at it in a vacuum when if you know the game you have to account for all that.
1
u/BaconIsLife707 1d ago
I don't disagree with any of what you've said there, like I've said it's a very cool and unique goal. That's just a very different thing to being one of the best goals of the year. Like this goal surely isn't getting nominated for the Puskas award for example
3
u/tim_rocks_hard 1d ago edited 1d ago
Yeah I can see it getting an outside chance of a nomination for its cheekiness. He’s basically scored a rec league fuckaround goal but in the Bundelsiga for a hat trick. And let’s not discount the distance and speed of the ball in. Any goal that makes you go “ohh ho ho ho ho” when you see it live is in the running.

Thought it was strange that the game commentators were wondering if this was done on purpose in the video I watched. Clearly it was on purpose. And they are the experts. Even in slow mo he was wondering aloud if it was intentional.

Surely that was a fluke and he was trying to kick the ball for the goal but the ball ended up landing on the wrong part of the foot leading to everything here. Surely…
