This doesn’t have much to do with my typical topics here, but I guess you could say moments of brilliance in sports are a key piece of my daily struggle for sanity. And this one is almost off the scale of brilliance.
This is a golazo, or wonder goal, by Fabio Quagliarella, in a match in Serie A, Italy’s top soccer league, between Sampdoria and Napoli. I have been a fan of Napoli’s new coach, Carlo Ancelotti, since his days as the coach of AC Milan when I first started watching soccer. So while I am very much pulling for him in his new position, I was absolutely in awe when Napoli’s opponent on the day went up 3-0 after this incredible strike from Quags. He has a history of scoring incredible goals, and this one fits right in with his greatest hits. So just take this in, and then go look for his career highlights because they are amazing as well. 🤭
