I’m pretty sure putting a shot out for a throw-in is a rite of passage growing up

But scoring against a professional goalkeeper while being closed down by professional defenders in front of 60,000 people can’t be easy. Watch any attacking (really any) player at that level work on finishing in warm ups or in practice, and they are absurdly capable. I recall watching Seattle and San Jose warm up years ago (pre 2014), and the only thing I took out of it was how good of a finisher everyone’s favorite whipping boy, Chris Wondowloski, was

I sat first row behind the goal before an OCSC vs Union game and watched Bedoya and Picault absolutely drill everything within 35 yards. Never truly realized how big their calves are and how hard he ball actually travels before then (never played soccer).
