MLS - April 24 - Cincinnati (Home)

Yeah. I'm no expert at soccer tactics but:

It looks like he's aiming for there, as in the moment before this isi signals and you can see taty looking at that direction.
...But then Taty makes two mistakes:
1. He fails to hit it in the general trajectory of my red line
2. He hits it WAY too fast for Isi to even come CLOSE to touching the ball (By the time the ball hits hagglund, isi isn't even in the 8 yard box):

The fact he hit it so hard is the only reason I think he might have been going for a shot. But it just doesn't make any sense from every other angle I look at it.

...It's fun to be able to talk about something as useless as whether or not Taty meant to shoot that. Happy for the season to be back!
After the goal celebration, Callens alone walks with Taty. Take a look at the numbers.
17! Q is the 17th letter of the alphabet.
Coincidence? I don’t think so. Smarten up people.4E602678-51D1-46DA-A6DB-19C8B36F1658.jpeg

Separately, it also explains why Shradi didn't get there fast enough. He was being held back slightly by the other guy and it puts him back like half a second
 
Proves he kicked it not at the goal.

Also work's been a tad slow recently soooo ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

i don't think anybody disputed that he did NOT kick it at the goal. we could all see the ball's trajectory. the question is whether his INTENT was to kick it at goal, goofed, and got lucky or if he INTENDED to get the deflection or cross it to isi. that obviously cannot be proven with your images.

Why not? You can see the direction he moves his foot. You can see where he is looking the entire time. If he was trying to hit towards goal, there would be something from his body language or movements at all telling us so. However there is 0 of that. Even in the slow mo (and they show a front and back slow mo) I just can't see it possible that it was not on purpose

what i see is his foot slices the ball. which could be his attempt to curl it with the outside of his foot into the far corner. but goofed, it went straighter than he had planned, but luckily it deflected and went in anyway.

the only guarantee here is there is no guarantee that you are right and i am wrong without taty telling us exactly what he intended (and is honest about it)

NO
ME RIGHT
YOU WRONG

I think we all need to adopt this response site-wide. Would just make things easier, ya know?

The only justification I can come up with for crediting Taty with that goal is that nobody wanted to embarrass Hagglund by attaching two OGs to him in the same match.

It was incredibly obvious in real time that it was an OG, and the replays make it even more clear.
