Imnotslaying its a technical way to move the ball forward without kicking it to avoid losing the ball overextending it to much and exposing it to a rival . Brazilian men are experts in this.
Have to agree watching Rose get the ball, be able to control the ball looking up, splitting the defense, where to kick the ball past the goalie. Just such a skilled female athlete, on a wonderful team!!! GO USA!!!
About protecting her: I saw an interview on CNN where the interviewer tried to suck her into the controversies. Somehow Rose escaped but they’ll try to use her before she’s ready. I hope she has some good advisors and protectors.
FlaschDJ omg i saw that same video and thought the same thing! that made me so mad. kelley was just kinda laughing because she knew what the interviewer was doing. rose did good tho
Yeh, yeh, yeh, that was always in the forefront of my mind! I kept praising Dunn for that steal, and commended the players all the while for stealing the passes away and that aggressiveness is what wins the game! But hats off to tough and smart playing of Dunn, couldn't have done it without her.
Totally agreed with you. Just wanted to add one more thing. Alex Morgan. Her parallel run served as a distraction which pulled 2 Dutch defenders toward her. That partially freed Rose. What happened next was considered one of the most beautiful goal of this tournament.
Dunn's tackle was basic. Lavelle's attack, fake, and strike were WORLD CLASS. Dunn did not create that goal, Rose got the ball at about midfield and then TOOK CONTROL.
Wow. Slo mo reveals so much. The awesome step over rolling dribble during a full out run, then the subtle shoulder fake to juke the defender to the right so she can line up her left foot, followed by that amazing, hard, accurate shot. My goodness.
Before the game, I told my family that Lavelle was the most likely to end someone's career during the final. The poor Dutch defender had to turn in her passport in the locker room after getting turned around on that fake. Lavelle's footwork is just fun to watch.
Shakespeare couldn’t have said it better: “Just beautiful”. Well, maybe Shakespeare could have, but still. “Just beautiful”. Man is she fast - fast and skilled!
J0einOK I’m a soccer beginner but I think I see what you mean: Morgan, being a potential passing target, kept the defender away from Rose Lavelle until it was too late. What a game!
Every angle showed me something new -- from the steal, to the acre of space in the middle, to Mewis' composed possess-n-pass, to Morgan's run that opened the space for Rose to attack, the way she turned the defender, stutter step to get aligned to fire, the placement, the goalie's despair ... but honestly I loved the overhead one the most.
Udeh Ifechukwu Ebenezer I am totally new to soccer. I’ve watched this entire video 25 times. I’m hooked. I saw something that puzzles me: While Rose was dribbling, she seemed to (once) toe the top of the ball as if to make it spin faster - or something! Did you see that?.
@@FlaschDJ yes, that's to keep the pace of the ball up. It's a subtle way to dribble. The players who are able to do things like that naturally and effectively in games are rare. She is rare. We've never had an American player with this sort of potential.
Skill. The Tackle, the Pass, The Dribbling, the Runs off ball, the Fake, The Pace, The Power, The Accuracy, The Celebration ... I watch a lot of soccer, not sure I’ve Ever seen better
@@UserUser-fm3cr Van de Gragt already had a yellow card. If she gets another one she's out and there is no chance of the Dutch coming back if they're a player down. She was careful and she lost.
Wow, those moves at pace, nobody knew where she was going and then the strike, this girl is world class. Loved seeing Sam in some of the shots with her hands on her head, just amazed.
Amazing dribbling skill, here we find a talented midfielder , humble, not so full of herself, which just needed some dust removal to reveal how precious she is.
CRYSTAL DUNN. Samantha Mewis and then.... Rose Lavalle. Crystal is the one who stole the ball from the Dutch player and passed it to Smantha Mewis. In my book this goal is shared by these three ladies. Hope Rose realized and celebrated with them at least later after the game was over. Anyways, I cant stop watching this clip over and over...
Dunn's tackle was basic. Lavelle's attack, fake, and strike were WORLD CLASS. Dunn did not create that goal, Rose got the ball at about midfield and then TOOK CONTROL.
Yes. We are devouring the same event 14 different times from 14 different angles. Again and again. An absolutely classic series of movements involving three hustling individuals.
Pure, unabashed joy. Watching this brought tears to my eyes. There's no doubting the technical brilliance that all of Team USA showed during the World Cup, but watching the sheer joy that Rose Lavelle exhibit in this play and throughout the FIFA Women's World Cup was worth the price of admission for me.
Dunn's steal has been rightfully praised, what I think is being overlooked is Morgan's intelligent diagonal run that drags one defender away, setting up Lavelle's 1v1. As soon as Mewis passes the ball Morgan turns and sprints to the left channel as fast as she can.
@Paul Rousseau Women's soccer is just like men's soccer--except that the women generally have more time and space to develop plays. Both are fun to watch.
yes, that it the key. She can dribble at near full speed with the ball at her feet while not focusing on the ball. In the slo mo view from the back of the goal you see her eyes go blank. That's when she has everything in her peripheral vision, she's looking at it all simultaneously. Then she fakes, cuts and only focuses in on the ball again when she needs to be precise for the shot. This would make a great training video for developing players - learn to dribble at speed without focusing on the ball. Easier said than done.
8:14 Love this angle. She was in complete control, head up, knew where the gap was, and split the center backs apart with that subtle little feint. It produced the same effect as a step-over, but without any wasted movement.
Whether it's soccer, basketball, hockey . . . . . when a player can run at speed while having complete control over the ball/puck/what have you, without having to look at the ball/puck - that's when the player has reached a level of being very dangerous. In the head on sequence you mention, you can see her eyes and those eyes aren't focused on anything in particular during the dribble because she's looking at both the ball and the defenders via her peripheral vision. She doesn't focus on the ball until the very end when she needs to line up to take the shot. The way that she can dribble at speed with the ball right at her feet the entire time is something I've never seen an American player able to do at the world class level. Her dribbling touch is godlike. It's common to see world class players from other countries have that ability (Ronaldo Nazario, Messi, Zidane, etc. etc.) but not an American. Finally, we have one. She can't carry a team like those all time greats I mentioned, but when she flashes that brilliance every once in awhile, it's exhilarating. Finally we have one of ours who has that 'it' factor.
One of the best goals I’ve seen in world cups, male or female. Truly amazing teamwork. Thank you so much for your video. It’s incredible. I’m saving it.
The crowds in these stadiums is almost unreal! I love how Rose runs to her other team members too and gives hugs. This video really is wonderful, perfectionately done! Thank you, especially in the slow motion part. Well done, I am so full of emotion.
Thrilling goal. Fabulous to see the slow motion of her attack and then the cathartic moments of ecstasy. The Fox video of the goal did not capture it. Great job putting this together; Thanks!
That steal was the death knell.....Mewis passing to Lavelle put them on their heels and Rose had too much energy for the defenders. That Goal will be replayed millions of times
Fierce little Rose, mightily comes through, and that's got to be the best BIG goal of the tournament. My, oh, my, girl, you were awesome! Hip, hip, hurrah for a grand American team who was on fire and the fire never went out!
I've watched this for over an hour now (I need to get back to work!). Thanks for this, it's a beautiful compilation. And Rose Lavelle is a marvel. And a joy.
Also being kind of overlooked is Alex Morgan's run which holds that defender giving Rose the space she needs to get the shot away on that side. Brilliant all around.
Slow Motion starting 4:55 - Rose: Side of the right foot, laces of the left foot twice, roll with the bottom of the left, outside of the left boot twice, feints, change direction with the right and the shot with the left...all at full speed! Amazing!
In one deft motion, Dunn dropped to a knee while a probing leg stripped the ball from Van de Donk and into the path of Mewis, who swiftly found Lavelle loitering in the center circle. From there, one of the tournament's most technically gifted players went on a dizzying 40-yard run littered with feints and fakes that left central defender Stefanie van der Gragt languishing in positional limbo.
Yup, the play was created by Dunn with her quick slide tackle that worked as a pass. It had to be quick or else the Dutch would have gotten back on defense.
@Buzbeto: I've been looking all over for different takes on this fantastic strike. I didn't realize til now it was Crystal Dunn's precise chipping the ball away from Van De Donk to Mewis that led to Lavelle's thrilling goal. It must have taken you a lot of effort to put this together. Thanks a ton!!!👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
I recorded it off a feed from the Fox sports app. They don't post it to offer it for later viewing so I had to record it live. It took me some time to convert it for youtube posting. I also posted 14 Camera angles Megan Rapinoe PK Goal but not much interest in that one. It has only about 280 views as the Lavelle has over 34,000 as of this writing!
@Buzbeto: Hey, out of curiosity, I'd googled a very generic phrase "rose lavelle's goal" and your video came up 4th or so. Maybe stick an ad somewhere to get Google pay you something (if it doesn't violate copyright laws) hehe. Congratulations! www.google.com/search?q=rose+lavelle%27s+goal&oq=rose+lavelle%27s+goal
This has popped up on my recommendations for a while now but I always thought I love Rose but 12 minutes all on the same shot? Come on... Then I finally watched it and it was worth every freaking second. Could watch this all day long. Such skill and pure joy captured in one moment. We love our Rosey here in DC and all across the US.
It took 4 terrific plays to create that goal. Dunn's steal, Mewis's recovery of the ball, spotting Lavelle making the attacking run, and Mewis making a perfectly weighted pass to catch Lavelle in-stride to touch towards goal. Not to mention Alex Morgan making an attacking run that occupied the Dutch defenders, creating space for Lavelle. Yes, Lavelle made a world-class play to score the goal, but without any of the other 3 players making key plays, including Morgan, that goal doesn't happen.
Uno de los goles más hermosos y estéticos que se haya hecho! En cualquièr categorìa y gènero. Una perfecciòn formidable.Esta niña pinta para genio. Todo lo hizo bien. Hasta me hizo llorar!
As much as this goal is brilliant and beautiful'I have heard no mention of the perfect tackle by Dunn that gave posession .I love Rose Lavelle and am ecstactic that she scored this most critical goal but wish that Dunn would get more cred for the defending that she did in the knockout rounds considering her struggle to be on this squad and being the last cut for 2015
I agree, and I posted that likewise too. I hope she is getting the credit she deserves. She also did an amazing job against France, by which without her help that game who knows if they would have still been in it.
It's only fitting that the 2019 Worldcup went out with a BANG: Sound of this very last scoring shot. One of the best goals in the tournament! Imagine if the scores were tied before that.........
Her back was to the goal when the ball crossed the line, yet she was so sure of her shot she was celebrating before hitting the ground. Even after leaping to her feet, she never glanced toward the goal - she might have been the only person in the stadium not to have seen the ball in the goal. Amazing. Beautiful.
Messi-like goal. Rose is one heck of a football player! When she was subbed in the match against England, Neville (former ManU player) gave her high-5. She was the only non-England player to whom he gave high-5. Big time recognition of her skills!
@@BIBIchgo if you're a soccer player, being compared to Messi is the highest compliment anyone can give you. Doesn't matter if you're a man or a woman.
Great tackle by Dunn- Speaks to a mentality that the Left back jumps up to shut this breakout down in the offensive half vs tracking back to cover some run.
Dunn's tackle was basic. Lavelle's attack, fake, and strike were WORLD CLASS. Dunn did not create that goal, Rose got the ball at about midfield and then TOOK CONTROL.
This entire sequence was a thing of beauty. Teamwork and skill at its finest. It starts with Crystal Dunn's (MVP in my opinion) textbook tackle, and Mewis' solid pass that allowed Rose Lavelle to do her magic. What a beautiful show of football finesse. Well done.
I think it was so moving that after the instant moment of jubilation on the pitch, Rose then ran off to the team bench to share the joy with her other teammates who were not on the field, making sure the euphoria was evenly spread. The way these girls played and behaved on and off pitch-----take note Donald--THAT is what makes America great.
@Boxing Bro the president himself made the national team political. No other president ever would have said anything about a national soccer team. The rest of them all had more important things to spend their energy upon. Not this one.
@Boxing Bro dude, are you serious? "they started it!" - that is the excuse of the child at the schoolyard. Come on. We're talking the president here. If you're the president, there's literally a million people saying shit about you. It's part of the job. A serious president pays no attention to any of it. Or even an average president. Right now, we have a president who watches TV.
@Boxing Bro a good president doesn't pay attention to what every little person is saying. There's 350 million people in the country and half of them are going to be critical of you if you're president. If you're a foolish president, you'll actually care what they're saying. A wise president puts his head down, ignores all that bullshit, and gets to work.
Love to watch Lavelle with the ball. She goes full speed, so fast, great change of direction. In this case she knew nobody was close to her from behind and took full advantage of that space, setting up her shot perfectly. A masterpiece from Dunne's great steal to Lavelle's pure strike.
This is the second goal in my life that gives me so much joy. The first comes from coaching a U12 AYSO girls team when the smallest girl on the team scores the go ahead goal seconds before the final whistle. So much joy.
Lavelle was in complete control on every dribble, threading through the defense, and leading up to the strike and goal. It was a thing of beauty to behold.
Every single aspect of this play is beautiful from the tackle that Dunn made to get the ball then the pass from Sam and finally a perfectly placed ball by Rose ❤️💙❤️💙
The dutch defender dont think usa player will shoot at that range they expect lavelle will pass to tobin or alex. What a footwork and finishing by Lavelle!🇺🇸🔥
I suspect because Lavelle's not a big star( yet) like Morgan and Rapinoe and they did not study her in depth. I could easily tell she's a great striker because of her ability to get off a "powerful shot" "through a narrow gap" "with little preparation( lesser strikers need to take time to line up their shot). Future looks bright for her.
Alex Morgan made the perfect run to create the space. She made the defender try to pull her offside at the critical moment and that left the defender exposed and behind in trying to block the shot. Crystal Dunn was brilliant! Also because she had Becky Sauerbrunn behind her with distance from shot range. Dunn made a brilliant choice.
I just don't tire from watching this goal. The accuracy and power on that shot is undeniable. The U.S. team should be built around Rose Lavelle from now on. Aside from her football skills, she's sooo cute too. 😊 There's a Jodie Foster vibe going on with her eyes and mouth too. I know that a man takes his life in his hands commenting on women's appearance in public nowadays but hey ...
@@markdavis7397 Well, I commend you for restraining yourself from making harmless observations because other people _believe_ them to be harmful. I don’t think that you should ever abandon working out whether anything is fair or not though. Yes, that kind of enquiry is sometimes difficult (never “useless”, btw) but it’s always essential to progress. Like you, I don’t expect anyone to see through my lens ... but I do expect them to see through the lens of reality. Commenting on Rose Lavelle’s appearance in the way I did - I wasn’t vulgar or even halfway suggestive - was a benign action. That is a simple truth. Any woman that has an issue with what I said about Lavelle should remind themselves of the things other guys say about women online. Reality checks are good! Incidentally, I’d argue that the things I said in my first paragraph were much more interesting than my fondness for Lavelle’s appearance ... yet nobody’s asked me about those!! That says a lot. I regard myself to be a feminist i.e. I believe that, wherever possible, women should be treated as equally as men. So, if I can comment on a man’s appearance or pay him a compliment, then I should be allowed to do the same to a woman. If not, then there’s a double standard at play. A double standard that *undermines feminism* because it transposes the fight for _equality_ with a fight for _special treatment_ . Peace.
Lots of beautiful women in the World Cup. Lots of talent, too. Makes wonderful viewing, and not as many dives as the men make. The women I think are worth more money than the men this year. The system needs some readjustment. I am glad the Champs are pressing their case.
Thank you to whoever put this together. I'm honestly obsessed with this goal. Due to the fact it was totally unexpected from this newbie, the game was a nail biter & with that goal, it kinda sealed the deal. Dunn with the defence, Mewis with the steal & pass & Lavelle with the legendary goal. Thank U Rose & the USWNT. 🏅🏅🏅🏅🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
An exceptional video! 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 One of a kind! Never seen anything like this! Great job, authors, thank you!👍✌☺! This goal of hers is THE CLASSIC of football/soccer! Rose Lavelle is a superb!🌟👸🌷
A few things I noticed. While there were 2 defenders, #6 Dekker had to guard against Morgan streaking towards the goal and only committed to Lavelle at the last moment. That meant Lavelle was one on one against #3 van der Gragt. Against van der Gragt, Lavelle keeps pushing her towards her right side. And then Lavelle totally fakes going right with a subtle flinch as if she going to kick it hard right. As noon as van der Gragt sees Lavelle’s left foot go back, she takes off in the wrong direction and has to turn all the way around. By then Lavelle only faked a hard kick right and went left and shot the ball in the open space she created with her fake out.
8:03 Dunn's tackle, the control from Mewis. It's insane. When Rose rolled the ball with the top of her foot at 8:24 I lost my mind. The control at that speed, the confidence to take it down the center of the field. I love this team so much. The fake out. Knowing exactly when to shoot. The happiness on their faces and bodies. This video is the coolest thing ever.
Great shot Rose! Way to make her bite for the right side!! Brilliant!! They must of forgot your left foot. Here's lo many more like this. Keep shooting!
Yep! And almost a split second shot between 2 defenders. All other teams should know about her left foot from now on. One of the most memorable goals in women soccer.......
I thought the same thing, but it was such a good move tho. She really sold it well even if they knew to defend her left side (which I'm sure they did).
One of the most impressive goals I've ever seen! Thanks for the video. Also, it was Crystal Dunn who start this all in motion. She was a force on the field this game!
Man that was a sweet sequence, from the steal, the pass, Morgan distracting the defender, topped off by the dazzling dribble, feint and strike. Watch it over and over, a true piece of beautiful ballet poetry right there.
Michael Drabenstott most defenders don’t get the credits. But they can be easily get all the blames when other teams score goals. I did play all positions for years so I knew.
@Bobb Grimley in the king's English alot isn't a word. I am studying French and beaucoup is translated as alot... I checked my Merriam Webster and alot is in the dictionary. Hope this answered yr question beaucoup!
This goal was beautiful! The perfectly timed tackle from Dunn, right to Mewis, who catches Lavelle in her stride. I love Lavelles tiny body feint that throws off her defender. Thank's for the great video!!
This is probably my favorite goal of all time. The disposession, the run, the fake, the power shot, the celebration. Literally everything was awesome.

The way that she can dribble at speed with the ball right at her feet the entire time is something I've never seen an American player able to do at the world class level. Her dribbling touch is godlike. It's common to see world class players from other countries have that ability (Ronaldo Nazario, Messi, Zidane, etc. etc.) but not an American. Finally, we have one. She can't carry a team like those all time greats I mentioned, but when she flashes that brilliance every once in awhile, it's exhilarating. Finally we have one of ours who has that 'it' factor.
One of the best goals I’ve seen in world cups, male or female. Truly amazing teamwork. Thank you so much for your video. It’s incredible. I’m saving it.
This is the most amazing soccer replay I have seen in a long time. I absolutely ❤️ it. Thank you for posting it!
I'm glad so many people are enjoying this video post. Rose is awesome.
The Passion! Pure joy to everything that you give is returned to its FULL circle. Thank you Rose!
The crowds in these stadiums is almost unreal! I love how Rose runs to her other team members too and gives hugs. This video really is wonderful, perfectionately done! Thank you, especially in the slow motion part. Well done, I am so full of emotion.
You are not the first say how emotional you get watching this. It made my head spin!
Thrilling goal. Fabulous to see the slow motion of her attack and then the cathartic moments of ecstasy. The Fox video of the goal did not capture it. Great job putting this together; Thanks!
She plays with such innocent joy it’s contagious.
1:10 - 1:17 best angle shows phenomenal footwork by Rose. Damn
Thank you for editing this. It is beautifully composed--so much to look and marvel at.
🌹 Rose Lavelle: A sweetheart off the field, a stone-cold killer on the field!
The way Dunn brought the Dutch player to her knees with that steal.... that was a sick play. The goal was just the dessert.
Not sure why the Dutch player kept the ball that long. Bad mistake!
That steal was the death knell.....Mewis passing to Lavelle put them on their heels and Rose had too much energy for the defenders. That Goal will be replayed millions of times
@@genearbogast7525 The Dutch players couldn't keep up. That entire play was textbook. Amazing!!!
Fierce little Rose, mightily comes through, and that's got to be the best BIG goal of the tournament. My, oh, my, girl, you were awesome! Hip, hip, hurrah for a grand American team who was on fire and the fire never went out!
I've watched this for over an hour now (I need to get back to work!). Thanks for this, it's a beautiful compilation.
And Rose Lavelle is a marvel. And a joy.
This video has resulted in a lot of lost working hours. Bad for the economy, but worth it!
Fantastic compilation. This contributor solidified my newfound interest in women’s soccer.
@@buzbeto1 bad for the economy, wonderful for the soul.
Also being kind of overlooked is Alex Morgan's run which holds that defender giving Rose the space she needs to get the shot away on that side. Brilliant all around.
Slow Motion starting 4:55 - Rose: Side of the right foot, laces of the left foot twice, roll with the bottom of the left, outside of the left boot twice, feints, change direction with the right and the shot with the left...all at full speed! Amazing!
Dunn, Mewis, Lavelle... what a great game/team.
In one deft motion, Dunn dropped to a knee while a probing leg stripped the ball from Van de Donk and into the path of Mewis, who swiftly found Lavelle loitering in the center circle. From there, one of the tournament's most technically gifted players went on a dizzying 40-yard run littered with feints and fakes that left central defender Stefanie van der Gragt languishing in positional limbo.
Yup, the play was created by Dunn with her quick slide tackle that worked as a pass. It had to be quick or else the Dutch would have gotten back on defense.
Yep!
more than a year later and i still come back to this incredible goal. what a rock star- rose lavelle !!
@Buzbeto: I've been looking all over for different takes on this fantastic strike. I didn't realize til now it was Crystal Dunn's precise chipping the ball away from Van De Donk to Mewis that led to Lavelle's thrilling goal. It must have taken you a lot of effort to put this together. Thanks a ton!!!👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
I recorded it off a feed from the Fox sports app. They don't post it to offer it for later viewing so I had to record it live. It took me some time to convert it for youtube posting. I also posted 14 Camera angles Megan Rapinoe PK Goal but not much interest in that one. It has only about 280 views as the Lavelle has over 34,000 as of this writing!
@Buzbeto: Hey, out of curiosity, I'd googled a very generic phrase "rose lavelle's goal" and your video came up 4th or so. Maybe stick an ad somewhere to get Google pay you something (if it doesn't violate copyright laws) hehe. Congratulations!

This has popped up on my recommendations for a while now but I always thought I love Rose but 12 minutes all on the same shot? Come on... Then I finally watched it and it was worth every freaking second. Could watch this all day long. Such skill and pure joy captured in one moment. We love our Rosey here in DC and all across the US.
Dunn was the architect but Lavelle was the executioner!
It took 4 terrific plays to create that goal. Dunn's steal, Mewis's recovery of the ball, spotting Lavelle making the attacking run, and Mewis making a perfectly weighted pass to catch Lavelle in-stride to touch towards goal. Not to mention Alex Morgan making an attacking run that occupied the Dutch defenders, creating space for Lavelle. Yes, Lavelle made a world-class play to score the goal, but without any of the other 3 players making key plays, including Morgan, that goal doesn't happen.
Uno de los goles más hermosos y estéticos que se haya hecho! En cualquièr categorìa y gènero. Una perfecciòn formidable.Esta niña pinta para genio. Todo lo hizo bien. Hasta me hizo llorar!
As much as this goal is brilliant and beautiful'I have heard no mention of the perfect tackle by Dunn that gave posession .I love Rose Lavelle and am ecstactic that she scored this most critical goal but wish that Dunn would get more cred for the defending that she did in the knockout rounds considering her struggle to be on this squad and being the last cut for 2015
I think this is a reasonable comment. I was also surprised that little was said about Crystal’s courageous steal.
Dunn was talked a lot about for her France game. But I agree, she played great through out.
I agree, and I posted that likewise too. I hope she is getting the credit she deserves. She also did an amazing job against France, by which without her help that game who knows if they would have still been in it.
@@birdlynn417 I believe she is. Dunn is an excellent player who is not playing in her regular position. She really stepped up during this tournament.
Gene arbogast, the good LORD has something new in store for her.
Having watched the original video about 15 times, these angles made me smile throughout. Many thanks!
It's only fitting that the 2019 Worldcup went out with a BANG: Sound of this very last scoring shot. One of the best goals in the tournament! Imagine if the scores were tied before that.........
2021 and I am still watching it. One of the best goals I have ever seen
Really awesome! What a brilliant moment in this tournament! Thanks for posting this!👍🏻👌🏻
She knew all along that ball was going in the net. Amazing footage, amazing goal, amazing team!
Her back was to the goal when the ball crossed the line, yet she was so sure of her shot she was celebrating before hitting the ground. Even after leaping to her feet, she never glanced toward the goal - she might have been the only person in the stadium not to have seen the ball in the goal. Amazing. Beautiful.
@@nostooge Amazing observation and reflection on the goal!
@@nostooge she saw the path before turning her head and I'm sure she heard the crowd. The crowd doesn't lie.
Messi-like goal. Rose is one heck of a football player! When she was subbed in the match against England, Neville (former ManU player) gave her high-5. She was the only non-England player to whom he gave high-5. Big time recognition of her skills!
If you see Messi with a slow-motion camera...maybe.
Real women athletes DON’T like being compared to a men athlete; contrary to mainstreams popular belief. Just trying to educate the public
@@BIBIchgo I don't think anyone, man or woman, is going to complain about being compared to Messi.
@@BIBIchgo if you're a soccer player, being compared to Messi is the highest compliment anyone can give you. Doesn't matter if you're a man or a woman.
World Class run and shot, what skill male or female. Sublime.
What a fantastic player Lavelle is!!!
This is my favorite video ever
I keep watching this video over and over. The most beautiful goal ever.
No it's not
Abdulkader Abdulrazzak OK. Maybe you’re right. Wont you please tell us which goals ARE the most beautiful ever.
Great tackle by Dunn- Speaks to a mentality that the Left back jumps up to shut this breakout down in the offensive half vs tracking back to cover some run.
Dunn's tackle was basic. Lavelle's attack, fake, and strike were WORLD CLASS. Dunn did not create that goal, Rose got the ball at about midfield and then TOOK CONTROL.
This entire sequence was a thing of beauty. Teamwork and skill at its finest. It starts with Crystal Dunn's (MVP in my opinion) textbook tackle, and Mewis' solid pass that allowed Rose Lavelle to do her magic. What a beautiful show of football finesse. Well done.
I think it was so moving that after the instant moment of jubilation on the pitch, Rose then ran off to the team bench to share the joy with her other teammates who were not on the field, making sure the euphoria was evenly spread. The way these girls played and behaved on and off pitch-----take note Donald--THAT is what makes America great.
@Boxing Bro the president himself made the national team political. No other president ever would have said anything about a national soccer team. The rest of them all had more important things to spend their energy upon. Not this one.
@Boxing Bro dude, are you serious? "they started it!" - that is the excuse of the child at the schoolyard. Come on. We're talking the president here. If you're the president, there's literally a million people saying shit about you. It's part of the job. A serious president pays no attention to any of it. Or even an average president. Right now, we have a president who watches TV.
@Boxing Bro a good president doesn't pay attention to what every little person is saying. There's 350 million people in the country and half of them are going to be critical of you if you're president. If you're a foolish president, you'll actually care what they're saying. A wise president puts his head down, ignores all that bullshit, and gets to work.
Thanks for this, but I'm still having trouble picking my favorite angle. Gonna have to watch the whole vid another 10x to decide!
ha-ha! It truly is brilliant, all of it even the looks of the crowds.
10:20 Samantha Mewis holding her head like: "WTF did I just witness?!"
Amazing assist from Sam Mewis
"We JUST won World Cup!"
Enormous performance! Such a great goal definition!
She is a great footballer and a joy to watch I'm Irish 75 and appreciate brilliance Crystal's tackle was brilliant .Great team special players
Love to watch Lavelle with the ball. She goes full speed, so fast, great change of direction. In this case she knew nobody was close to her from behind and took full advantage of that space, setting up her shot perfectly. A masterpiece from Dunne's great steal to Lavelle's pure strike.
This is the second goal in my life that gives me so much joy. The first comes from coaching a U12 AYSO girls team when the smallest girl on the team scores the go ahead goal seconds before the final whistle. So much joy.
Lavelle was in complete control on every dribble, threading through the defense, and leading up to the strike and goal. It was a thing of beauty to behold.
That was awesome!! Rose you are such an inspiration!! I am a fan...!!!
Dunn , Mewis, and avelle. Pure artists. Loved every single second of this video..
Awesome compilation! Thank you Crystal, thank you Rose!!
Every single aspect of this play is beautiful from the tackle that Dunn made to get the ball then the pass from Sam and finally a perfectly placed ball by Rose ❤️💙❤️💙
I have watched this six times now. It will be on a loop for days, weeks, months to come. Lavelle was just brilliant. Absolutely brilliant.
The dutch defender dont think usa player will shoot at that range they expect lavelle will pass to tobin or alex. What a footwork and finishing by Lavelle!🇺🇸🔥
Epic misread by the Dutch defender that should have challenged Lavelle but kept looking for a pass to no one.
I suspect because Lavelle's not a big star( yet) like Morgan and Rapinoe and they did not study her in depth. I could easily tell she's a great striker because of her ability to get off a "powerful shot" "through a narrow gap" "with little preparation( lesser strikers need to take time to line up their shot). Future looks bright for her.
Defender was expecting a right footed play. Lefties are such a great asset.
Alex Morgan made the perfect run to create the space. She made the defender try to pull her offside at the critical moment and that left the defender exposed and behind in trying to block the shot. Crystal Dunn was brilliant! Also because she had Becky Sauerbrunn behind her with distance from shot range. Dunn made a brilliant choice.
Well, some defenders are from the Gary Cahill school of, I'll continue to back-up instead of putting in a tackle.
Rose is amazingly talented. I never get bored of watching her amazing foot work. She deserve the #10 jersey
I just don't tire from watching this goal. The accuracy and power on that shot is undeniable. The U.S. team should be built around Rose Lavelle from now on.
Aside from her football skills, she's sooo cute too. 😊 There's a Jodie Foster vibe going on with her eyes and mouth too. I know that a man takes his life in his hands commenting on women's appearance in public nowadays but hey ...
Yeah, let's make it about her looks instead of her talent.
@@debbiedavolio3622 Ah, so you’ve completely ignored the 1st paragraph of my comment.
I wonder why that is?
Yep, she is a sweetheart!
@@markdavis7397 Well, I commend you for restraining yourself from making harmless observations because other people _believe_ them to be harmful. I don’t think that you should ever abandon working out whether anything is fair or not though. Yes, that kind of enquiry is sometimes difficult (never “useless”, btw) but it’s always essential to progress.
Like you, I don’t expect anyone to see through my lens ... but I do expect them to see through the lens of reality. Commenting on Rose Lavelle’s appearance in the way I did - I wasn’t vulgar or even halfway suggestive - was a benign action. That is a simple truth. Any woman that has an issue with what I said about Lavelle should remind themselves of the things other guys say about women online. Reality checks are good!
Incidentally, I’d argue that the things I said in my first paragraph were much more interesting than my fondness for Lavelle’s appearance ... yet nobody’s asked me about those!! That says a lot.
I regard myself to be a feminist i.e. I believe that, wherever possible, women should be treated as equally as men. So, if I can comment on a man’s appearance or pay him a compliment, then I should be allowed to do the same to a woman. If not, then there’s a double standard at play. A double standard that *undermines feminism* because it transposes the fight for _equality_ with a fight for _special treatment_ .
Peace.
Lots of beautiful women in the World Cup. Lots of talent, too. Makes wonderful viewing, and not as many dives as the men make. The women I think are worth more money than the men this year. The system needs some readjustment. I am glad the Champs are pressing their case.
Thank you to whoever put this together. I'm honestly obsessed with this goal. Due to the fact it was totally unexpected from this newbie, the game was a nail biter & with that goal, it kinda sealed the deal. Dunn with the defence, Mewis with the steal & pass & Lavelle with the legendary goal. Thank U Rose & the USWNT. 🏅🏅🏅🏅🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Glad everyone is enjoying it as much as did!
An exceptional video! 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 One of a kind! Never seen anything like this!
Great job, authors, thank you!👍✌☺!
This goal of hers is THE CLASSIC of football/soccer!
Rose Lavelle is a superb!🌟👸🌷
No goalie on the planet could have stopped that shot. It was perfectly placed.
A few things I noticed. While there were 2 defenders, #6 Dekker had to guard against Morgan streaking towards the goal and only committed to Lavelle at the last moment. That meant Lavelle was one on one against #3 van der Gragt.
Against van der Gragt, Lavelle keeps pushing her towards her right side. And then Lavelle totally fakes going right with a subtle flinch as if she going to kick it hard right. As noon as van der Gragt sees Lavelle’s left foot go back, she takes off in the wrong direction and has to turn all the way around.
By then Lavelle only faked a hard kick right and went left and shot the ball in the open space she created with her fake out.
And it makes it even sweeter that she jumps into the arms of Morgan and Rapinoe, the old guard of this team. Just brilliant.
This is easily the most re-watchable goal that I've seen in women's soccer/football. Everything is perfect, not the slightest blemish.
8:03 Dunn's tackle, the control from Mewis. It's insane. When Rose rolled the ball with the top of her foot at 8:24 I lost my mind. The control at that speed, the confidence to take it down the center of the field. I love this team so much. The fake out. Knowing exactly when to shoot. The happiness on their faces and bodies. This video is the coolest thing ever.
Thank you for this video
I was at this game- the energy of the crowd after she scored this goal was incredible
Ese fue un gol tipo Maradona que gran jugada desde la recuperación el pase, la conducción y el gol. Un gran equipo.
When you see the way she took the pass quickly and went into action, all of her movements were nothing short of masterful.
Lavelle caresses the ball amazingly before tricking the defender and shooting to the opposite side of the run of the goalie
And no defenders even tried to get in her way - so poor!
Que Golazo! Thanks for not putting cheesy music on it.
Great shot Rose! Way to make her bite for the right side!! Brilliant!! They must of forgot your left foot. Here's lo many more like this. Keep shooting!
Yep! And almost a split second shot between 2 defenders. All other teams should know about her left foot from now on. One of the most memorable goals in women soccer.......
I thought the same thing, but it was such a good move tho. She really sold it well even if they knew to defend her left side (which I'm sure they did).
One of the most impressive goals I've ever seen! Thanks for the video.
Also, it was Crystal Dunn who start this all in motion. She was a force on the field this game!
Thanks for this glorious video.
Man that was a sweet sequence, from the steal, the pass, Morgan distracting the defender, topped off by the dazzling dribble, feint and strike. Watch it over and over, a true piece of beautiful ballet poetry right there.
I’m ashamed to tell you how many times I’ve watched it.
Dunn was a rock the entire match. Unsung.
Michael Drabenstott
most defenders don’t get the credits. But they can be easily get all the blames when other teams score goals. I did play all positions for years so I knew.
Thank you for making this..i rewatch this alot👍
@Bobb Grimley in the king's English alot isn't a word. I am studying French and beaucoup is translated as alot... I checked my Merriam Webster and alot is in the dictionary. Hope this answered yr question beaucoup!
@Bobb Grimley J'adore baby boomers beaucoup? .non non non
@Bobb Grimley u hav waaaaay 2 much time on yr handz...lol...cringe
Le quebró la cadera a la jugadora que la marcó, pura técnica y habilidad
Te amo rose
This goal was beautiful! The perfectly timed tackle from Dunn, right to Mewis, who catches Lavelle in her stride. I love Lavelles tiny body feint that throws off her defender. Thank's for the great video!!
Rose lavelle + Andres iniesta = magic 👌🧘♀️
This is easily one of my favorite youtube videos of all time
