Genuine question, why is an overhead kick not classed as a high foot!?

I suppose when you think about it, a high foot is only a high foot if you kick somebody in the head! Supposedly as long as you don't kick anybody in the head while overhead kicking you should be fine.

This isn't true laws, just my take on it.

But yet you see a raised boot with no contact given as a foul, an overhead kick someone is trying to connect with a lot of force and often the opposition player pulls their head out the way to avoid it being kicked.

Aesthetically they look brilliant but just think they’re more ‘dangerous’ than a lot of things that go ungiven.

Great goal, great player. Shame he's such an absolute 100% prick.

It's hyped up because of who he is.

As seen with Biamou's goal, it will go under the radar when somebody does the same sort of thing in League 2.

If Biamou had done that in a Champions league knockout game against Juve in Turin he would be receiving the same adulation.

The defender behind would have headed it clear had Ronaldos foot not been so high

I've only just got round to seeing it and having read multiple sources describing it as one of the best goals ever I'm a little underwhelmed. Yes it's a great goal but there have been plenty better.

I think Ibrahimovic's goal against England was better for it's skill and sheer audacity.

Always remember the Wallace one, or more?
Notable mention for Dennis Wise V Hull 18 yds out. Get in .
