When Alfonso Soriano turns on the first pitch of a game and puts it in the left-field seats, a conversation ensues about whether the swing-at-everything hitter should even be given a chance to break Rickey Henderson’s leadoff homerun record in the first place.

But in proper football (or soccer as we call it here), when a guy scores from mid-field on the first ball booted in the game, it becomes must-see YT (YouTube, that is).

And why not? Not too many feats in any sport can top one one thousand, two one thousand, nylon.
