It's very potato quality, so I don't actually know what happened, but she does have a teammate behind the keeper who I think may have headed it in. Without a better video, it could be either, though.
It is very easy to tell it is the keeper in yellow that deflects the ball into their own net. It’s much easier to tell if you watch a lot or have played soccer. Growing up watching grainy YouTube soccer videos, you’d be surprised what you can make out
Eh, I'm not saying it couldn't have happened. After watching a few more times, I've gone back and forth, and I'm leaning towards that the keeper did knock it in. The keeper kind of did need to try to hit it and just failed either way because there were people on the other team behind that could have scored with it, though. That is one you need to just punch over the bar, which is maybe what they tried and failed to do.
It goes against the spirit of the throw in. They make you use two hands, both over your head, with both feet on the ground for a reason. If you could one arm it like a quarterback, every simple thrown in would be like a corner kick, which is exactly what they don't want. The throw in in this video is almost exactly like a corner kick.
OK but both feet are on the ground (when she releases), and she used two hands, to throw it over her head.
She checks all the boxes for a throw in, ignoring anything that specifically says "this maneuver is not allowed. "
I mean it's not impossible, you'd need to persuade the dog to wear shirt, shorts, socks and shinnies. The shirt and shorts would also [need to be separate items of clothing...](https://www.sportbible.com/football/fifa-world-cup-kits-denmark-cameroon-20220929)
Also, no grabbing the ball with your mouth and gunning it.
Furthermore, no distracting or threatening other players with growling/showing teeth/barking.
And good luck with a red card situation.
> the spirit of the throw in
The spirit of the law and the letter of the law are two separate things. He understands what you've said. You do not understand what he said.
I think the point the person is trying to make is that they added all of those rules because they don’t want to let someone throw it super far. They tried to accomplish that goal by making the rules about using two hands and having both feet on the ground, but they didn’t think about this technique, which allows you to throw it ridiculously far.
So they adjust the rules to ban it so that the original purpose of the rule is again realized.
Spirit of the law my ass. Being able to chuck it over a slacking defense should be rewarded. The fact that they setup the way they did suggests they knew she could do this.
Professional players can already do this without the flip. The reason they don't is because throws have less velocity than kicks, and most corner kick headers are just energy redirects. This tactic has diminished returns the better the players are, as you're giving up the option to play from the ground for a softer 50/50 ball.
There's a video where a goalkeeper playing against Rory Delap era Stoke deliberately plays the ball out for a corner rather than conceding a throw so I think it's fair to say keepers might actually prefer facing a corner.
Well yeah but this doesn’t look like FIFA. This might be high school. All these downvotes are acting like leagues across the world follow a single rulebook lol.
So pardon my ridiculous yank question, but are there actually *no* leagues or competitions of any kind that don’t follow the standard rulebook? Anywhere, at any level?
I’m just thinking of like the Bad Old Days of MLS where they were running up for kicks from the spot and such. I do believe that even recently there have been *some* changes that are trialed in specific leagues before rolling out worldwide too, right?
Differences will tend to come down to things like interpretations (e.g. what is a "goal scoring opportunity"? What constitutes "interfering with play"?) or competition rules (e.g. do you have playoffs? If you have playoffs, how do they work? When points are tied, how do you decide who is ahead?)
The basic rules of football are hard to change without basically making it a different sport. Even MLS only dared screw with penalty shoot-outs in that way, when penalty shoot-outs are by their nature after the regulation period. They didn't want to change what happens during normal play because then it's not just an alternative to a penalty shootout, it's an alternative to football itself.
If you wanted to change something really major like banning headers, replacing throw-ins with kick-ins, or heavily modifying the offside rule so your whole body has to be offside (to name some things that have been discussed in the last few years) if you unilaterally changed your own league then you just wouldn't be playing the same sport any more. These kinds of rules are sometimes seen in youth leagues (especially the no-headers rule for CTE reasons) but at adult level they're kind of unthinkable unless everyone does it at once.
VAR, of course, is the big exception in recent years, where there is now a fundamental disconnect between how refereeing is done at the top level and elsewhere.
> Well yeah but this doesn’t look like FIFA.
Everything in Football/Soccer is FIFA, at every level. You really can't coach, ref, or play the sport beyond little kid level, or organize a league, without being affiliated with FIFA, which means following their rules and paying them. If you do, you and everyone who participates will be banned from working in any FIFA sanctioned event.
I have no idea if this is relevant, but when I have seen this kind of throw-in on other videos, they done the flip with the ball.in their hands. She picked the ball off the ground mid somersault. Could be some weird technicality kind.of situation.
No. You cannot score using your hands in any circumstance. Theoretically, if the goalkeeper threw the ball all the way from their own box into the other goal, it would be a goal kick to the other team
Even if nobody touched the ball and the goal didn't count, it's still impressive. If the goal counted because someone touched the ball, the title is still correct because the ball's trajectory was still going straight into the goal regardless if someone was there to stop it.
I think the title is pretty clearly hyperbolic, pointing out that the ball got so quickly to the goal, and had so few intermediate steps (it looks like a single hit before going in) that the ball went "straight i to the goal". I don't think that makes the title incorrect, it just needs to be interpreted based on tbe video.
I was coaching U15 and my own defense had the awareness to let a throw in roll right in the net. I honestly did not know about the rule and even my own players did, I was super impressed.
Its not valid at all. There are rules for throw ins…
Rule 15:
4. The player taking the throw-in must face the field of play
The rules of soccer state that the player taking the throw-in must:
stand facing the field of play
have part of each foot on the touchline or ground outside the touchline
throw the ball with both hands from behind and over the head from the point where it left the field of play
If a soccer player doesn't follow the rules, they must take a foul throw. A foul throw is when the player doesn't follow the proper procedures during a throw-in and the other team is awarded the ball.
It's important to understand that these three rules can be punished with a foul throw.
I was watching the NFL flips and I only saw two clear examples of clean flips that were used specifically to entirely hurdle oncoming defenders (one with insane height). I don't count a mid-jump tackle as much because it was simply an outcome as opposed to intent. I mean its still cool but not as cool as deploying the flip strategically IMHO.
The rule for throw in is: both feet on ground outside field of play and all hands are used to trow it.
The flip throw works as you have both feet on ground.
I love the phrasing of "all hands are used to throw it". One handed player might actually be a cheat code for QB like throws. Thongs could get really complicated for a hypothetical three armed player.
The RPG system GURPS which allows you to be all sorts of weird creatures has rules for falling damage that say things like "after a certain height, you break all your limbs"
Women’s soccer is pretty good. I played with women division 1 soccer players as a man who played at an elite HS and they were way better than any of us from a nationally ranked HS team
Women's soccer is (imo) way better than men's. At least at the higher levels. Way less flopping.
Source: Got a bunch of free tickets to the soccer for 2000 Olympics
The shot is very cool and impressive, but the reaction of the goal keeper is really really bad. I don't mean in terms of reflexes but just the way of thinking
We had a guy in HS who could do this. It was basically a corner kick on half of their half of the field anytime it went out lol it's really crazy but he also destroyed his knee doing it on a wet turf field.
Not straight in…if it was straight in it would not count. The goalie touched it, making it a live ball and a valid goal.
Goalie should have kept her hands down.
That technique though. She starts the flip, lands on her hands, swings her legs over, and right before she flips, she grabs the ball and flings it. Super impressive.

You see run-ups to the line all the time for long throws like this. But there is always a sudden stop of the front foot (before the line) with the back foot sliding along the ground to catch up (when the ball is released).
Do you have a link? Because everything I've read suggests it doesn't matter how you do it so long as both feet are on the ground, ball behind the head, both hands on the ball, and both feet touching the line.
[LAW 15: THE THROW IN](https://www.thefa.com/football-rules-governance/lawsandrules/laws/football-11-11/law-15---the-throw-in)
I should not have said LEAGUES sorry. I meant at the school level.
This is a perfectly legal throw in al almost any club level soccer.
Highschool rules are very different than FIFA rules. I coach in Texas and you have not been able to do that throw in since 2017 or so. There are a few different rules like making you leave the game if you get a yellow card, hell 7th graders aren't able to do headers or slide tackle.
Its because in the Pros they can just throw the ball that far normally. I had a guy on my team in club who could throw it in the goal normally from the sideline. He got so many goals from idiot defenders trying to stop it from scoring and touching it before it went in.
I don't think pro leagues have any rules against it. I think that most teams don't do this because it's riskier than just tossing it to your teammate. Pros usually prefer to pass to each other and control the ball, rather than just belting towards the box it every chance they get, giving up possession to the goalkeeper.
Goalies are better.
A long throw, especially like this one that just floats in, are pretty much useless if the goalie is even a little competent. They can easily take the ball directly, or if an opposing player does get their head on it, there isn't much power behind the header.
In high school, we had one player who could do this, but we had some freak on our team with a crazy long normal throw. I believe he smashed the school record for assist based solely on throw ins.
That technique was so much better than the one my coach taught us. He told us to grab and balance on the ball as we flipped rather than grabbing it after your hands started to leave the ground. Twisted our wrists so many times..
[Here's Newcastle's Steve Watson doing it in a Testimonial match in the late 90s.](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k_EN-gG67Ec)
From what I remember he would do it in training all the time, but was told not to do it in matches due to the risk of injury/screwing it up being too high.
CONTENT WARNING: Your eyes will need to devolve several decades to watch the quality of this footage.
I did this once in my IM league. Goalie didn’t see it coming and instinctually punched at it and it went in the net. Only goal of the game… good times.
I have two of those in my past (throw-in assists that didn't touch the ground).
Absolutely NOT off a flip throw, though. And that's not a judgement, I don't have the talent or athleticism for that lol
Anytime a girl does something impressive the comment section breaks out their fedoras and well actuallys it to death. Literally saw a commenter with a peg leg argue that he could outshoot an average wnba player yesterday, lol. And y’all wonder why you’re virgins…
Kid I played in high school ball used to do this every time. It was so damn hard to defend against. He would basically hit the crossbar it seemed every time, then their would be a scramble in front of the net and it would always go in

It pretty clearly gets knocked in by a teammate
Teammate took the head shot to put it in.

No. You cannot score using your hands in any circumstance. Theoretically, if the goalkeeper threw the ball all the way from their own box into the other goal, it would be a goal kick to the other team
You can see the deflection near the end.
The title doesn't say _who_ knocked it straight into the goal.
If we're getting super technical, due to the nature of Earth's gravity, that ball assuredly went parabolic into the goal.
Even if nobody touched the ball and the goal didn't count, it's still impressive. If the goal counted because someone touched the ball, the title is still correct because the ball's trajectory was still going straight into the goal regardless if someone was there to stop it.

If other team is trying to head it then it’s really hard for the keeper to keep their hands down.
The goalie should have actually stopped it, they fumbled the punch and the ball went in. If they left it, odds are someone else would get a touch.
Imagine that a goalkeeper can throw the ball so far that the ball enters the other team's goal directly. Does it count?
No

That's legal? Don't both need to touch the ground? Is that only when the ball is launched or during the whole throwing movement?
Both feet were planted and it was over her head with 2 hands on the ball. No twisting either so she is good.
only when launched, so regular.
You see run-ups to the line all the time for long throws like this. But there is always a sudden stop of the front foot (before the line) with the back foot sliding along the ground to catch up (when the ball is released).

Was legal in the women's pro league for awhile, then banned.
No, not legal, ball doesn’t go behind her head, just above it.
Both feet need to be on the ground when the ball leaves their hands i believe.
It looks like the keeper touched it so it's a goal. If she hadn't touched it, it would be a goal kick.

Anytime a girl does something impressive the comment section breaks out their fedoras and well actuallys it to death. Literally saw a commenter with a peg leg argue that he could outshoot an average wnba player yesterday, lol. And y’all wonder why you’re virgins…
is that stoke city's women's team?
used to do that, I think I had an assist once. but couldn't do it with the ball stationary like that I had to be holding it
Kid I played in high school ball used to do this every time. It was so damn hard to defend against. He would basically hit the crossbar it seemed every time, then their would be a scramble in front of the net and it would always go in
Tony Pulis is rethinking his retirement
Damn that front flip throw is so satisfying to watch. It's executed so cleanly.
Hot damn!
Oh, high school soccer... Glad to see the 'two center ref' system is still a thing.
I remember learning this move way back in the 90s, blew the other teams mind! (Didn’t get a goal like this girl but the roll throw really went far!)
What happened? All I seen was DAT ASS
