He scored the first goal of the match with five minutes remaining. Then Pachelo equalized for Atlético. So Arshavin romped down to the other side and did this to end the game.
Somewhere in a pub in London tonight, gazing forlornly into a half-empty glass of cider, there’s a 1° angle that still doesn’t know what hit it.

You know, given what you wrote about the transfer back in February, and then given his goal vs. Blackburn, given his determined evisceration of Anfield, and now given this, I’m starting to wonder. Wonder what, I’m not quite sure, but I’m wondering anyhow.
How did he even get to that ball? Seriously, how?
and then the protractor, doubling as barkeep after the requisite two-week course, refilled his cider and reassured him that he’d seen actually what happened that night, and that worry needn’t be needed, for the angle that perhaps should be floored is Señor 2° himself.
plot = thickened
I could cry right now…
I have always had angles down as gin drinkers.
wow. the narrower than the narrowest of angles
Doug Adams would be proud of that 1° sentence.
All that’s left is for Arshavin to score a “gol olimpico” from a cornernkick – I think he could hit one from a -5 degree angle
Arshavin still has nothing on Roberto Carlos: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1ZkRziiLq8I
stu scott just called this the top play of the weekend on sportcenter. it was only at 7th. he cited the angle. i don’t know what this means.
In Soviet Russia the ball angles you.
I don’t know Brett. From a distance, the ball can *do* more in terms of swerve etc. Arshavin had to get this around the post from a short distance – that takes much more deftness of control.
Darn special alright. Reminds me of that goal (even though it’s not really all that similar) of that goal Steve Archibald scored for Barcelona against Juve in 1986, I believe. Can’t find any YouTube footage though, unfortunately.
Sometimes it’s hard to be a Spurs fan.
