Most sports highlights deteriorate over time, but this goal Olivier Giroud scored against Sweden on Friday just keeps getting better:
This Olivier Giroud goal will break your brain
James Dator has been covering a wide range of sports for SB Nation for over a decade, with a special focus on the NFL.
It’s not just that it’s an awesome volley or that the ball curved so perfectly you couldn’t do this in FIFA if you had a thousand tries — it’s the physics behind the goal that wreck you.
Giroud sets up the shot with his left foot, strikes the ball with the same foot, almost shoots across the face of goal and somehow manages to get so much curve on it that it ends up in an absolutely impossible position.
You can do whatever the heck you want this weekend — I’ll be watching this over, and over, and over again.
