My greatest goal is probably the greatest goal you've ever seen, CONFIRMED.
Clance | 11:34 AM on 02.24.2009 21 comments


One of the things I love about EA is the way you can upload your goals on FIFA 09 as soon as you've put them into the back of the net. I haven't bothered to do this before. Yeah, I score cracking goals all the time but I always think I can do a little bit better.

Last night, around the midnight hour or later, I was having a battle with my flatmate. France Vs. Spain. The score was 0-0 and he was having some joy down my end of the field. Something had to give, so I broke away quickly, releasing four passes that ended with Fernando Torres on the far right and then... Well, what happened next caused me to yell loud enough to wake up even the heaviest sleeping neighbour.

Ladies and gentlemen, THIS is what happen when you mess with Clance...



Please note, the clip only contains the last part, which is a shame. But it was the best part.

One other thing. I'm doing writing for Gamerlimit.com and have knocked up an article about how FIFA stole my heart away from PES. If it sounds like your bag, check it out here

Much love to y'all...

Psha. I had better goals in Fifa 07. Sadly I don't have time for Fifa anymore with all them damn RPGs out there
Primo's Destructoid Blog
I am at work and cannot watch the goal, but will check it out when I get home.

Nice article about FIFA vs Pro Evo. I used to buy both games just so I could have the best of both worlds.. but since this current gen, I haven't even bothered with PES.
CelicaCrazed's Destructoid Blog
Not a bad goal at all. I really need to try FIFA out again because I had a lot of trouble with the demo when it came out. I was too used to the PES controls for Wii and hadn't played a football game with a regular controller since the DC days.

Also, good call on the Super Acrobatic Rocket-Powered Battle-Cars demo!! That game is pretty addictive and I think I'll be downloading it the next time I'm home.
Cough's Destructoid Blog
Awesome. If i were france i would feel deeply ashamed. The few times i got it to work on winning eleven made me really happy. Of course, it was always like flipping a god damn coin, bastards always did whatever they felt like.
Wich is why i ask now, did you wanted to do that? Or did the Niño Torres felt like it?
Knives's Destructoid Blog
Nice goal, and yeah it would've looked even better with the whole play before it happened.
Clance's Destructoid Blog
@Cough,

Il Nino crossed it in and, seeing it was sailing way over David Villa's head, I thought "why not." So, yes. Yes I did. ;o)

It's pretty difficult to pull these goals off, you rarely get the chance for any kind of acrobatic shot...

@Seltzermx,

It's not easy to score these anymore!

@Primo,

cheers dude... It'll be worth the wait too.

@Celia,

Hopefully, if I pick it up, I'll see you online one day! FNF style!
Funktastic's Destructoid Blog
I should be mad/angry with you, but you beat those cocksucking, food poisoning, in reality "Team Africa," sons of bitches from France!!! So all is forgiven for being Spain! =D Also, CHAMPIONS LEAGUE TODAY! ^_^
Tehmtnlion's Destructoid Blog
well done good sir!
Takeshi's Destructoid Blog
Nice! But WTF are you playing with Spain?! Torres? Oh I get it. :D I wish I still had my saves from PES... Oh maybe I've got them but there is no way in hell I could show them to you.
Clance's Destructoid Blog
:D

Yeah, the pace of Torres and the guile of David Villa...?

Don't be silly, they've got Cesc Fabregas in the team, that's why!!!

C'mon you goooooners. Took out Roma tonight. Big came for you tomorrow :s
CALkulon's Destructoid Blog
Excellent!

I think I have a similar goal on my uploads (check them out if you can be arsed) of Kuyt replicating Zaki's goal earlier in the season.
Funktastic's Destructoid Blog
Liverpool unfortunately might have a chance, but hopefully their tendency to absolutely massive choke at everything they do kicks in! And Fabregas . . . despite him playing for the wrong team, he's good, and doesn't get enough time in the national side . . . -_-'
Clance's Destructoid Blog
@Funktastic,

I agree about Fab. He always comes off the bench and makes a real difference for them.

Liverpool need a big game tonight... Arsenal should put Roma to bed last night :o(
Clance's Destructoid Blog
@CALkulon,

Y'know, I really thought FIFA was realistic but Kuyt scoring a goal like Zaki's (against L'pool I take it)...? ;o)

Great Goal.

Fabregas is the best midfielder in the league. No-one, including Gerrard, is as influential as him, People see it as Goals = Good, but that's far from the truth. Fabregas is the petrol in Arsenal's Engine, If there isn't any, you'll splutter along and eventually stop. Gunners need him back ASAP, shame Arsenal v Man U is so late in the season, no chance of stopping the Bastards winning the title now.

Battle-cars is a good game. The online is dead or simply broken. Can't get in Ranked games for shit, and Unranked isn't too easy.
Clance's Destructoid Blog
@CALkulon,

Bloody hell, you weren't joking. Great goal and just like Zaki's.... I wish mine had the build up, it makes it so much better. I guess I need to find out how to save the whole thing! I didn't save it from that point in the replay.

We should have a weekly "best goal" competition. Even if they aren't very good, we should give it a go.

@Aurain,

Thing is about Stevei G is that he look great in highlights. Watch him for an entire game and you'll realise that the reason he scores so many is because he is guaranteed to shoot atleast 26 times from 40 yards out.

Fabregas knows how to dictate entire matches. I remember him coming off the bench against Argentina in the World Cup a couple of years back. It was half time and Spain had been shit. He came on and never once gave the ball away. I was almost in tears, it was beautiful, he really made the difference for them.

he has done the same for Arsenal for about 4 or 5 years now. Last season he was immense, but losing Flamini has meant he defended too much this season (Denilson went walkabout), which has made his game suffer. Great captain though but Wenger needs to give him more freedom to go forward by providing a good defensive midfielder (whether we buy one or one of our lads will step up good and proper) and telling van Persie to stop dropping deep. This season RVP has been getting into Fabregas' space and clogging things up a little.

OK, I'm wafling on now but I can't wait to get him back!

Oh, and Gerreard is a dirty diver too. Great match-winner though.

@Clance:

Sorry about delay, but I'm totally up for C-Blogging that if you're willing to help out a) gathering interest and b) C-Blogging if/when I can't. If there isn't enough interest we could always add in Madden plays or something of the sort?
Clance's Destructoid Blog
Good ideas man, I like it... alot.

OK, I'll play some FIFA this week and come back with my best goal and you do the same (if we don't score any good ones we'll leave it another week) and then have a poll or something so people can decide the winner, or just post them for fun. Then we put it to Samit or others who want to send us their Madden goals and stuff like that and make it a weekly or fortnightly thing!?
CALkulon's Destructoid Blog
That'd be a good way to start things off, aye. That way if anyone else wants to join in it can expand easily.

Any rules for the near future - semi/manual shooting, difficulty setting...?
Clance's Destructoid Blog
No rules - Just great goals and lots of ego!

 about me

OK, hmmmmm, where do I start? I guess I should start at the beginning of my gaming life. I'm talking summers spent in Clacton arcades wasting 10p's on Championship Sprint, Double Dragon and Turtles. I'm on about California Games, Daley Thompson and Winter Olympics... Aaaaaah, the C64 days, when I was but 5 or 6 years old, seemed the sunniest. I swear it was either bright sunshine soaked summer or just plain snow in those heady times.

Nowadays, like the weather, gaming has gotten complex... So much choice and so little cash.

In a house with many consoles and far too much gaming testosterone, I devote most play time to my PS3. I don't have a preference for game type, although I'd say FPS's float my boat the most and RPGs haven't grabbed me by the balls once, yet.

Right now I'm playing
MW2, FIFA 10, Ratchet & Clank TOD and Fallout 3 (GOTY Edition)

Peace.
