Watch the Tim Cahill bicycle kick that made Australia go crazy

GO CRAZY, AUSTRALIA.

Bicycle kicks are cool. Always. That’s the rule. But there are ways bicycle kicks can be extra cool, like Tim Cahill’s.

Let’s count the steps to how he did a super awesome.

  1. BICYCLE KICK - This one is pretty obvious and straight forward, but it starts with the actual bicycle kick and how awesome it is
  2. International tournament - Stuff is always cooler when it’s an international because you have an entire country behind you. It’s not just a city, or a part of the city, where your club is. It’s literally the whole country supporting you and waiting for a moment to set them off.
  3. Host country - When you are the host country, you care more about the tournament and the stadiums are packed with your fans. Cahill did this against China in the 2015 Asian Cup, which Australia happen to be hosting.
  4. AUSTRALIA - Australians are great, joyous people who know how to party. Making Australians go nuts is way cooler than making people from pretty much anywhere else go nuts.

And that is how Cahill won our hearts (again) and lit Australia on fire.
