A good corner and well taken...but, the goalkeeping and near post defending?...I'd like to think even a poor team would have kept that out and quite easily.
Given the number of corners wasted by schoolboys who try to emulate this once in a blue moon trick; it really isn't something that should be encouraged.
There's a piece on The Fire's website about the dominant defence of Gibbs and his teammate, definitely a player who had the ability, but never got a chance to prove it
"That was really bad gaming play from the dee-fence and the goaltenders positioning was asbysmal.........We're gonna take a time out for these words from our sponsors...................."
The fella delivered the ball exactly where he was supposed to deliver it. Did he mean for it to go in? Almost certainly not. But you can't take anything away from the delivery.
Blimey, you could look at more or less any goal scored and analyse it as to where it should've been stopped.
Well you kind of made my point with the second sentence, tons of corners get delivered like that and are just headed away by the first man. Decent delivery, very fortunate with the outcome
MLS is becoming a really good league, was watching Portland v Seattle last night, the football was great, and the atmosphere rivalled anything in Europe

And the fact that Beckham flighted the ball at less than chest height, made it very difficult to head or clear
So more of a well rehearsed set piece, rather than just bad defending IMO.
Definatly the Offensive set play of the day sponsored by Pirates of the Caribbean 4.
And I said childish because obviously no one thinks they can do better than Beckham, so why say that?
Sadly I'm no better than McCormack either but I can still comment/criticise if i feel like it
Decent delivery from Beckham, but pretty terrible defending.
If we let that one in there would be hell to pay, that's for sure.
