GIF: James Rodriguez doesn’t know how to score a normal goal

What a hit son!

When we were young fellows having a kickaround, “YEBOAAAAH!” was the roar that we’d let out when we struck a sumptuous volley.

It looks like the next generation will be screeching “HAM-EZZZ!” after they strike a ball right on the sweet spot.

And there’s good reason because the Colombian is making an awful habit of scoring absolutely extraordinary goals.

His strike for his national side earned him a place on the shortlist for last year’s Puskas award and, while his opener for Real Madrid against Almeria tonight isn’t quite as special as that was, it’s still pretty darn tasty.
