There was a time when football was full of goals from long range.
Here is a selection of that type of finish from the 1978 World Cup in Argentina.
Nice to hear orginal commentaries too.
Proper belters here.
Everybody at Manchester United is encouraged by Denmark’s update on Christian Eriksen following today’s abandoned friendly against Ukraine.
The club is sending strength and love to Christian and the Eriksen family as we await further news.

David Beckham smashed home this penalty just before half time against Argentina & laid a few ghosts to rest from St Etienne & #France98

Kevin Keegan, what a sportsman! The way he just gets up, brushes himself down, has a swig of lager (it might be Lucozade, but I like to think it's lager) and just carries on after his horrific Superstars bike crash is incredible!
We send our heartfelt support and warmest wishes to Kevin Keegan and his family following his recent diagnosis of stage four cancer.
Kevin holds a unique and cherished place in the history of Newcastle United, and in the hearts of our supporters. His passion, leadership and connection to the club and city have shaped some of our most memorable moments.
Everyone at the club is behind Kevin and sends strength and best wishes to him and his family for the journey ahead.
Kevin will always be warmly welcomed at St. James' Park and we hope to see him again soon. 🖤🤍
Last words of George Floyd were ; I can’t breathe Starmer, seeing an opportunity, took the knee.
The last words of Henry Nowak were; I can’t breathe.
Starmer, not seeing an opportunity because the victim was white rather than black, remained standing.
And politicians wonder why we despise them.
If it wasn't for Elon Musk buying Twitter, Henry Nowak's murder would have been buried and memoryholed by both legacy media and big tech.
This platform is the only thing forcing the police and the authorities to feel any pressure and guilt at all.
A beautiful soul.
This is Liron Barda 💔 🕯️
She was brutally murdered by Palestinian terrorists on October 7th while she saved others’ lives.
While Palestinians were raping and slaughtering.
There were some Israelis who stayed.
Liron was one of them.
Amidst all the chaos she did everything to try and save lives, unfortunately when overwhelmed, she couldn’t save her own life.
Liron is a hero. She is the complete opposite of those who murdered her.
While they sanctify death, she sanctified life.
May her memory be a blessing 🕯️
Hey @BBCiPlayer
Is there any chance of putting some of your massive back catalogue of World Cup action on the channel.
There is absolutely next to nothing on from World Cups before 1994.
It’s as if World Cups didn’t exist before 1994.
It’s not too much to ask….surely!
#WorldCup
Imagine watching this and being unable to decide if these vile, out of control thugs assaulted a police officer...
It doesn't make any sense.
Our two-tier justice system is utterly broken.
