Here at 101greatgoals we like to think that we brought to your attention Ezequiel Calvente's “switch-hit” penalty for Spain’s Under 19s first.
UEFA technical director Andy Roxburgh believes that this is the best ever young group of players that he has witnessed and he has been at every tournament for the past 16 years.
So it comes as no surprise that we are able to bring to you another great goal that the young Spaniards have scored. This time it is against the English.
Up 2-1 the Spaniards were awarded a free kick 30 yards from the English goal at the start of the second half. Keko took a long run up and made out as if he was going to strike the ball, but just as he was about to hit it, Thiago Alcantara, one of two players standing over the ball simply delivered a delicate chip over the wall for Real Madrid’s new signing Sergio Canales to run onto and score.
It is reminiscent of Javier Zanetti's goal against England in the 1998 World Cup but for such young players to achieve this is truly remarkable.
The English defence was completely leaden footed, utterly fooled by Keko’s run up. The chip was delivered so precisely and delicately it is a wonder to behold. Spain won the match 3-1 and the third goal completely knocked the stuffing out the English youngsters.
Will Spain’s domination of world football end? With some of the play that the Spaniards have shown in the tournament it seems unlikely.
More than ever, Zinedine Zidane's famous comment that "The day Spain begin winning, they won't stop," is looking truer than ever.
Expect to see the video below all over the internet tomorrow.
