I'm not really a soccer fan but a few days ago I saw Cristiano Ronaldo score a goal that amazed me with its athleticism and skill level. It's common to see athletes wow with their athleticism in a sports highlight show, especially in basketball, and many mesmerize with their skill level, but Ronaldo's play required and abundance of both, jumping ability and body and eye coordination. What are some other memorable spots plays that compare to this one in both athleticism and skill level?

Bobby Orr's flying goal comes to mind -
Grant Hill's dunk against UNLV back in 1991 NCAA semi-finalsComment

Wow...I've seen lots of great goals...but a header like that is something....reminds me of Jordan when he could almost float...
Ronaldo is a joy to watch...Comment

CR's elevation is enormous, not unlike Jordan's 'foul-line dunk' at the 0:57 mark here.

I remember that dunk as well as many others by the likes of Jordan, Dr. J, David Thompson, and others, but there's no comparison to Ronaldo's skill level.Originally posted by Atticus View PostComment

I doubt there are youtube videos because of the era, and he couldn't dunk in college because of the rules, but David Thompson's athleticism was other-worldlyOriginally posted by jazzcyclist View PostComment
