We didn’t think we could be any more in awe of Stephanie Roche until we attempted to recreate her wonder goal
The Irish striker will find out on Monday if she has held off goal-scoring competition from Robin van Persie and James Rodriguez to win the 2015 Puskás Award. Voting remains open for the FIFA ‘best goal’ competition and Roche has a good chance of capturing the award.
SportsJOE decided we would attempt to recreate goals from the three finalists so we arrived at work with balls in hand and paid a visit to the five-a-side pitch across the road. Here is the very best we could do:
James Rodriguez
James TAKE TWO…
Robin van Persie
Once more, for good luck…
Stephanie Roche
Let’s try Stephanie again…
Morale booster…
To make ourselves feel better, we then decided to recreate Lazar Markovic’s scuffed winner for Liverpool against Sunderland. Brendan Rodgers’ search for a goalscorer is over:
You can still vote for the three magnificent goals here.
As for SportsJOE, we’re thinking of starting up a 5-A-Side team. We just need five decent players now.
