Little story
In 1994 the British band James re-recorded their song Low Low Low for fun during the sessions for the upcoming album Laid. They named it Goal Goal Goal and it's a brilliant uplifting pop song.
Another little story
Fast forward to the 18th of October 2012. Benfica is playing away against Freamunde for the Portuguese Cup. Twenty eight minutes into the second half, André Gomes is inside the box, receives a high ball, kills it on the chest, shoots a missile with his right foot and goal! André Gomes couldn't have debuted in Benfica's main team in a better way.
Take that ball and make it break the laws of gravity!
