This is going to be a good goals of the week post. There are many nice goals, and in particular the goals from Stankovic and Dessena are awesome to watch. Goals after the jump.



Dejan Stankovic vs. Genoa – Stankovic notices that Amelia makes an error on the clearance and moves to the right, hitting the ball on the volley from way out and it sailed over Amelia and into the net.

Daniele Dessena vs. Catania – This is probably the most spectacular goal of the day. Cross from the right wing, and Dessena hits a perfect bicycle kick that is unstoppable for the Catania goalkeeper.

Adrian Ricchiuti vs. Cagliari – This is an awesome team goal and excellent set piece. Four touches and a goal.

Sergio Almiron vs. Chievo – Nice header from Almiron. Comes towards the ball and manages to place it into the upper corner.



Adailton vs. Napoli – Unstoppable free kick from the Brazilian midfielder with his left foot.



Jamie Valdes vs. Udinese – The Chilean scores a wonderful goal, taking the ball to about 20 yards out and unleashing a perfect strike into the upper corner.

Diego De Ascentis vs. Udinese – De Ascentis said this is the best goal he ever scored in his career and we can see why.



Alexandre Pato vs. Roma – Ronaldinho with a perfect searching pass, and Pato with the excellent control and finish.

    Something interesting I found: These r the winners of the u-21 european championships who also won the World Cup in Germany ‘06

    Amelia, Gilardino, De Rossi, Zaccardo, Barzagli in 2004

    Pirlo, Gattuso, Abbiati, Perrotta in 2000

    Del Piero(again), Nesta, Totti, Buffon in 1996

    Del Piero, Cannavaro, Inzaghi in 1994

    Looks like to me by just looking at these stats that a world cup was due to Italy eventually, after all these u-21 champss winning for their respective teams

    Italy hasn’t won the uefa u-21 european championships since 2004, and all you youth lovers calling for Lippi to call these new guys like Motta, Giovinco, Balotelli, etc. well they haven’t won anything for their u-21 teams respectively.

    I’m not sayin that if you have won u-21 u will def win the world cup im just sayin that history tends to repeat itself and if winning happens when ur young it more often then not happens when ur in ur prime or later on as well.
