Cahill or Rodriguez

[Iamapen15]

So whose scored the best goal of the World Cup so far?

NB. It's obviously between these 2 strikes, so I don't want to hear from those suggesting RVP or Rooney

How do you choose?

One was an instinctive 61mph volley with the weaker foot, one was a composed chest and volley from outside the box and both were in off the bar for added effect. Could watch them both on loop

 

[DumLum]

Rodriguez for me.

 

[West Upper Seagull]

Rodriguez all day long - the first touch on his chest was as good as the finish.

 

[Hyperion]

Cahill but only just. JR's strike was world class

 

[1066familyman]

One things for sure...the two best goals of the tournament so far both came from sweet left foots (even if Cahill has the misfortune to be naturally right footed).

 

[One Teddy Maybank]

Van Persie's diving header doesn't come into consideration then. Cross field ball, diving header on the run, whilst noting the position of Casillas. A really difficult skill, as was Cahill's.

This, for me

The top 3. Easily. So far.

James Rodriguez's goal against Japan was superb, as well.

 

[Goldstone1976]

The top 3. Easily. So far.

I doubt many will disagree. Now rank them. Much harder!

For me:

1 Cahill
2 Rodriguez
3 RvP

But I can see a case for all three, ofc.

 

[lawros left foot]

1, Rodriguez
2, Van Persie
3,Cahill

 

[The Lemming Stomper]

1. Robben's 2nd v Spain
2. Van Persie
3. Jimmy

 

[stripeyshark]

1. Robben's 2nd v Spain
2. Van Persie
3. Jimmy

THAT pass. Superb.

 

[Jim Van Winkle]

1- Jimmy Rod
2 - RVP
3- Cahill

 

[Pavilionaire]

RvP header. This wasn't a glance or a bullet, this was precision; over the keeper, just under the bar. You'll see great strikes every month, you won't see another header like this in 10 years.

 

[The Lemming Stomper]

THAT pass. Superb.

For those who had the misfortune to miss it.....

 

[Bladders]

Both great, but I'd say the technical difficulty level of Rodriquez strike edges it for me.

 

[DTES]

James Rodriguez's goal against Japan was superb, as well.

My first thought too. Lovely ball, turn the defender, turn the same defender again, lovely little dink over the keeper.

Monaco must be loving this. Actually, 45m euros? Crikey.
