U-14 is that awkward age group where some kids have hit puberty and some haven't so there are kids 6 feet and taller and then kids 5'4 and shorter
This was just an observation kiddos relax
I hope stephen isn't also an angry asshole in real life
Idk why but I find this funny 😂
@TheWeeaboo societal ?!
The kid number 16 in the video lol
Is the keeper the only person in the stadium that didn’t realise he was shooting from kick off? 😂
For sure he was the only one
Lmao
His centre halves should've given him the message
Have you ever played a keeper? As a keeper your teammates need to tell you because from that far away you can't actually predict what the other guy's intentions are, especially when you're 14 and you think that nobody can kick that far
@@chingatu6644 Yes I have played as a keeper, it’s not that hard to see what position he’s stood in even at the halfway line. He’s stood on his own and facing towards to opponents goal with a small run up from the ball. If you’re standing well away from your goal at any point as a keeper you’re asking for trouble. No excuse for it at any age of football.
Oh that's unbelievable...
That is incredible...

U r a true legend my friend
When I was in high school, I would literally stand on the goal line as a goalkeeper, for fear of this happening.
really literally? smh
Same, it would always make me nervous if someone actually wanted to try it
Smart move tho
I shot from kickoff probably 20+ times age 14-16,two goals (this was in the 90s so it's not a new thing). It always annoyed me when keepers did stand on the line 😂

I know that feel... I only played with my friends tho
I also play in goal, if I saw a striker lining up to take a kick off like that I would make sure I am no further than the 6 yard line - terrible starting position from the young lad.
It's the element of surprise, you probably stood there and watched it 😅

@@ctx8314 Not really, depends on skill level.
@@DeuPKay i talk about height bro, not about performance
The kickoff is (well, was when I played in the 90's) considered an indirect kick. We did it to a team because the sunlight was favorable but had to roll the ball forward by another player before kicking it. They were our "rival" school. The next year, their field had been turned 90 degrees so that the evening sun did not blind "a keeper"...meaning their keeper.
If I remember correctly the rule states that the ball has to cross the middle line into the half of the team that does the kick off
No you can score directly off a kickoff, you just can't take more than one touch without the ball touching another player first.@@darthjarjar6756
Im a ref and can verify this is a goal that would count. Had they scored on their own goal the other team would have been rewarded a corner kick.
I thought the ball had to touch another player first?
rules changed 15 years ago. ya old....... 🙂 @@markrs2000

I remember playing in that age group. It's not particularly uncommon to catch a keeper that far off the line on a kickoff. It's such a memorable goal for any shooter because it definitely plays out slower than your average goal, more like a solid drive in golf.
The commentator should have shout "eeeeagle!" 😁😁😁😁
Ha - yeah, it must be awesome to watch it curl in like that off the 'tee'. Is this the quickest goal ever in a soccer game?
ok
ok
ok
Some say, that keeper never came off his line again. Still standing there to this day.
Great technique for a 14 year old!
Ik 12 year olds who can do that
Where I'm from that's pretty common, kids play football since they can walk, at least boys.
I was in either 4th or 5th grade on a team that did this before. First touch was a goal.
Remember, this is an U-14 game.
I was doing this when i was 11. Fucked now though
Wow! It took youtube algorithm just 2 years to recommend this , they're getting there
Yeah what the hell!! And why??!?

lmao all the harry kane memes were popping 2 yrs ago
Thanks yt
Law 8 of the FIFA Laws of the Game specifically states that "a goal may be scored directly from the kick-off."
I did not know that. I thought that was why there are always two players next to each other at the centre spot. God knows why they always do that.
If you regularly play football back then, youd know that. Its not done often because theres a slim chance you’ll score a goal.
Thanks for the info. I always thought the ball had to make one full rotation before it was "in play" on the kick off.
The reason for the two players at center circle is that to retain possession of the ball, teams play a pass backward. And because the law (in most cases-though not at the last Euros) says the first touch must go forward, the second player is there to pass the ball backwards.
Alan OBrien they changed the rules you don’t have to tap it forward from kick off now
That keeper is one to watch. A real talent for the future - great awareness and reactions

I’ve personally experienced this as a referee ( only seen it ONCE ) in over 40 yrs in. Local Saturday league in Sheffield - amazing - was told afterwards that the same player had done it the week before

Isn t it illegal to do that ? Someone has to touch it first. The Kick off is an indirect kick not a free kick.
Rules state that you can score directly from kick-off. Doesn’t seem to indicate that another player must touch it first.
Probably used to be the case, but since the rule change to allow just one person to take kick-off, they may have done away with it.
@@metalswifty23 i dunno. Didn't google it yet. I m 100% sure it wasn't a free kick. I think it s because the opponent team were not allowed in the big circle around it, at kick off, there fore they couldn't make a wall, and it was way longer then 3 m . That was the reason maybe.
My understanding was the ball has to go backward on the first touch before it can go forward.
I thought so as well. Ball has to go backward.

Expactation: scoring a goal from half the pitch
Reality: you can’t even kick the ball past 22 yards
they use different ball
The correct technique. I could kick a ball from the halfway line into the goal area on the full when I was 11 years old. And before you say anything, it was a full size pitch. Coach called me iron foot. Meant as a compliment but I had other team mates who could do the same thing.
When i was a teenager playing travel soccer i took all the free kicks because i could kick the farthest. Never scored on kickoff but did score one from nearly halfway on a free kick mainly because our striker blocked the keepers view, but still lol. And guess.....what i was one of the shorter kids on the team. Memories. Go 80 Burlington Flames!
@@barryleddiman6797 I think it was because your game was all rusty when it rained.
I always thought the opening kick was indirect. 🤷🏼♂️ Apparently, not.
They changed that sometimes but I cant find a source when in the last 20 years that happened.
They rule changed in June 2016 so that the kick-off is direct and the ball can be played to any direction
@@aikavelikultia1509 Thx for the info!
Same here, i scored a goal like this in u9's but I was second touch from a kickoff pass.
@@aikavelikultia1509 no, unless they change it again. We did this in the 90s. The rule then was that the ball had to go forward with the first kick and do a complete roll or something. I think it became direct somewhere in the mid 90s as our coach had us shoot on almost every kickoff in an indoor tournament after that rule change. Scored a few goals and it was always a load of protests, but they were always allowed in the end.
The keeper has seen him standing there lining up the shot, and thought "I'd better stand on the edge of my box for this one"

Pico for the one who reads
Pichula for you too!
Wait a minute, when I played soccer long time ago the rule was it has to be touched by 2 players on kick off before a shot on goal.
That was the rule when I played in the 90's in highschool as well.
Must be American rules. I never heard of that
Played in the 90’s as well. It was an indirect kick, also the first touch on the ball could only travel inside the midfield circle. If the ball wasn’t touched by a team mate before it came out of the circle, it was going the opposite direction as a direct kick for the opposing team.
It's definitely not a legal goal. In America or professional. Kickoff is indirect so must be touched first before it can be shot on net
this rule was changed almost 25 years ago, grandpa.
How's the keeper not reacted quicker to that, he knew what was coming for about 8 seconds.
Maybe he didn’t have the view of the ball
Yeah, you are right, I too was wondering, he was standing still like a statue, too shocked to react maybe...!!??.
That's what thought...surely he should of stayed on his line?
Fix
@@rv_316 Maybe but that wouldn't explain why he was about 15 yards off his line. He knew what was coming.

Three years later the goalkeeper sits still on mothers lap crying his heart out.
If you're a keeper who ever ends up in this situation, forget crying, you're freaking PISSED at yourself!
You play too far up and get caught napping, or you think a bounce is coming to you and it goes in front of you and over, it's an "OH SHHHH-UGAR!!!" moment, as you watch and go "I hate me right now."
A part of you is laughing at yourself, and another part isn't too thrilled, but what can you do?
@@wesleywildcat84 Any keeper knows if the ball is that far you should be a little further up and not be on the net since if your defenders miss a lost through ball you can recover it faster instead of just running from the line. But the keeper should pay attention to that since the kid was basically on position to do that.
I've never suffered a goal from kick off like that, but one dude once shot from mid field and I was pushed forward and had no time to go back and defend. Was it my fault? Perhaps. Is any keeper expecting it? You kinda have to
@@pedrosilvaproductions There's some situations where it's "what can you do?" and these guys are teens.
I think this was a surprise move.
Right off kickoff, I think since this is a remote possibility, you may stay back and then move forward.
The only keepers who'd stay right back in their goal kick box are people who are playing for fun and haven't played the position.
Those who actually play the position move around more, based on where the play is, including the chance their defense gets beat bad enough they may have to outrun an attacker to the ball to stop a breakaway, if they're that aggressive.

Exactly what I was thinking!
Yes, true, but remember that this is an Under-14's tournament and, as that slight infraction had literally zero effect on the goal, letting it slide is fair enough when the ball's in the goal in a matter of seconds.

It shouldn't have counted. The forward at the top was offside before the kick. Pause the video at 5 seconds and you'll see it
Thought every player had to be in their own half before the ball is touched. In this case they arent. Therefore by the rules the goal should not stand. Amazing kick otherwise and hell of a goal.
Agreed, teammates were in the attacking half before the kick
Yeah, went back and looked. Left wing is off-sides.

SHAOLIN SOCCER.
I like how that baby on the scoring team keeps jumping to make himself taller 😆
0:40 after a VAR check, the goal has been disallowed because the teammate was entirely over the halfway line when the ball was struck
100%
There's no official sanction for this, so the kick would just have to be retaken. Could be a yellow card at the ref's discretion for delaying the restart, but that likely isn't happening on a first offense. I doubt his coach & teammates would be happy about that, though :p
When I saw the title I thought it was some kind of rookie play. I've never known you could score like that, thought you have to pass to teammate first.
The striker stand tall right there, ready to shoot and the keeper just chillin' right at the middle of his goalie zone 👌
The intent is obvious to see.
When you get dared to do something because you were just joking about how no keeper would ever be stupid enough to . . .
The fact that he took a run up similar to a goal kick should have alerted the keeper. Plonker
The fact he's the only player in the circle with no team mate to tap it into play to would give an even earlier clue.
-"Und it's not whatcha wanta seeee, but eet's whats happa..."

I did not know either!
You can’t. It’s not in play until passed.
@@davidowens8336 but the goal stood...
Yes you can. The rules were changed about 1 or 2 years ago.
A kickoff is technically a direct free kick, so you can. You just can't score an _own_ goal from a free kick.
There's never going to be a faster goal than this. Ever!
Yeah, this has happened quite a few times, I have seen some a second or so quicker.
"It's not what you want to see...." Why not? The goalkeeper was caught off his line, it was a smart play.

Great vision - straight from the training ground - kudos to the kid that figured he could lob the keeper if he was off his line.

This is why I have the habit of literally standing on the goal line when the other team kicks off and just running to where I'm actually supposed to be when they just pass it back
Takes me back to primary when we would shoot from kick off every time
0:40 His teammate at the top of the screen actually ran offside for no reason. Could you imagine if they called that back
VAR would have had that
It is not "offside".
I thought the initial kickoff was indirect and required another player to touch first?
Yes but the rule has changed. I can't say when it did.
