There's a chance of every footballer volleying a ball than a player doing an overhead kick.

Gav............

It is not just a volley is it?

Serious question, do you play competitive club football?

Dr,

if it's not a volley, then what is it?

Yes, I do and I find it easier to volley a football into the back of the net.

I have scored 3 overhead kicked goals as a player and I actually find it a quite easy skill to execute.

I would never ever been have been able to make contact with a volley to that type of ball while on the run,let alone score with it.

Gav.............there are volleys where you wait for the ball to come to you head on or from the side but this was not one of them.

To classify that RVP goal as a simple volley is an insult to the game.

I also think over head kicks are easier than a volley, especially if its dropping out of the sky off Shola's 50p heed like SHEARER's

Dr,

I wouldn't call that an insult if I were you.

Are you challenging my opinion here? I hope not.

Volleys are easier than overhead kicks. FAKHT

Rooney shinned his goal. There is no technique involved. Also Gav I know you enjoy deleting comments that make you look stupid but Rooney's overhead kick IS a volley

Does no-one else agree that Berba's overhead kick was better than Rooney's then?

posted on 24/12/11

To be honest, I think it's pretty inconclusive whether Rooney shinned it or not. The contact he got and the way the ball flew off his foot suggest not, but some still photos seem to show it coming off his shin. This could just be an optical illusion though.

It's a pretty pathetic way to attempt to diminish the skill involved in a world class goal, though. It would be the same as me saying that RVP sliced/shinned his volley against Charlton. From the replay behind Eboue delivering the cross, it looks like he might have shinned it, and it looks sliced from the spin of the ball. Any other angle, and any viewing in normal speed shows you that he connected brilliantly with it.

Both goals were beautifully struck in my opinion, but slow-motion replays often make it harder to judge what happened than full speed.

Goals by Drogba against Everton,Drogba goal against Bolton,Essien goal against Arsenal and Lampard goaol against Everton goals are better than 4 goals stated above by OP.
