He actually jumped but not jimping high. He leaned backward, stretched and then noded forward.

Lol!

Stop making me laugh. That was a tap in goal. He wasn't under any pressure nor obstruction unlike those who jumped to head in goals. The mishit shot was close to his head and he was close to the goal post, all he had to do was to nod the ball in.

codedguy1:


So person fit tap in with him head?


Elamps what if I use my head to score the ball from the ground? Is that still tap in.

I think the definition is not clear. But if we go by the definition below, you're right.

2. (soccer ) A simple shot into the goal from close range, and without opposition.

Diademk07:
t you bring out his match highlight as well? You
I never said open up the opposition defence. I sid open up the opposition.
A vertical pass or flick through the middle opens up the opposition faster than the sideways passes of Herrera.

I hardly criticise Fellaini in the same way I hardly praise his performance. I wouldn't even have mentioned Herrera if people hadn't come up with He was good in the match nor would I've even sing Fellaini praise if the argument of Herrera performance didn't start.

Where did he open the opposition? In the middle of the pitch, in our own half or where?

In one breath you said he makes vertical passes, in another you said he always tries to make vertical passes which is the reason he's often criticised for the poor passes he sometimes made which simply means those vertical passes were poor.

This simply means most of his passes are not incisive but simple passes.

Herrera still make more of those incisive passes than Fellaini. He has always been good at that and that's what reflected in his key passes and through balls stats during his last season at Bilbao.

The koko be Fellaini was the DM yet he still made more vertical passes than the Spanish cleverly.

Rooney was leveled with a defender, although unmarked. The fact that there was a keeper to beat makes it not a tap in goal my opinion.

That header could easily be missed. Some might have headed straight to the goalkeeper or even wide. You have to know how to use the head very well to be able to head that ball with the amount of curling it needed to go into the net avoiding the Keeper's reach.

And tap in can't be missed? Haven't you seen a player lambasted for missing a tap in?

Also, not only open goal are tap in situation, a goalkeeper could be there as well.

BTW Rooney was free in that particular situation. In fact, over free dey worry am there.

Vertical passes in defensive areas! Not different from the type our defenders made.

In my opinion, tap ins are when you need to just roll the ball across the goal line. Like Keane did with Mata's pass.

Which means our defender are even more intelligent than the Spanish Cleverley. Speaking of Cleverley, his floated shot-like crosses are even more of revelation than the ones people were praising Herrera for in the match.

Diademk07:

Whether header or not, na tap in.
Do you have to use only your leg to tap in a ball?
Some peeps dey suffer from brain disturbance on here.

a tap in is quaresma's goal against croatia.
u don craze my guy.

In my own, a close range goal is a tap in.

In fact, I tends to credit players who scored close range goals under obstruction from the opposition defender a lot more. Why did you think people often try to degrade some of Ronaldo's goals?

good deal.

forget the bad press he's been getting, balotelli is cheap, but we know he can be good if motivated.

For me, Rooney goal was tap in. He was under no pressure, close to the goal and the ball was hit close to his head, he didn't even make any movement unlike some players does with their onrushing movements.

Diademk07:

An 18 year old good player will always get his chance sooner or later.

Huh?
Ibra even has 1+1 contract and he's already talking about staying for 3yrs?

That's fuccked up. I can't believe Mourinho is even looking for another Striker and defender when we have Rash or TFM respectively. Bailley and Ibra are already here, why more?

The thing is Rash should be the one being groomed to take over from Ibra in a year time but I'm hearing 3yrs now and the Balo rumours.

Even meeting him is of no use! Or is jose now his personal psychologist?

"Semi-looping header" with a defender and a keeper trying to close you down don turn to "tap in?"

Using your logic, this beautiful Mata goal vs Liverpool is a tap in.

Same way too with some Bervatov beautiful finish from close range. I am not even to mention Chicharito or Inzaghi who score from close range. Mr Kagawa10, it is only when there is no opposition to beat (including the goalkeeper) that you can begin to talk of tap in.

You no know ball.

How is that the same with Rooney?

Mata was onrushing to the ball after starting the move and a defender was even distracting him before his scissor/overhead kick compared to a stationary Rooney with a mishit shot close to his head with no pressure whatsoever? Haba!

Tap in has nothing to do with the build up. Mata scored from close range and was alone in that place. He had shot before the defender arrived.

Most tap ins are scored by players on rushing. Even when Keam received from Mata, he was on rushing.

Secondly, Mata was inside the first box whereas Rooney was in the second.
Let's not even talk about the situation involved, which is closer?
And lol at looping header!

One fact is defenders were on Mata's neck and he was further from the goal unlike Rooney who was near the gaol and stationary with a lucky shot close to his head under no pressure. How is that the same?

All these are now stories. Tell me since when tap in is defined by stories. The two were simply not tap ins. A tap in is simply when one can roll the ball across the goal line without opposition/goalkeeper. E.g Keane's goals against Wigan.

...........
But the truth here is that Mata was unmarked. If he stopped the ball, he would be caught though, same in Rooney's case. They needed to shoot and beat the goalkeeper. I can also show you even closer range goals from Bervatov but will not pass as tap ins.

Unmarked? What was that black defender doing beside Mata kicking?

You know what? I define my own tap in and for me Rooney header was a tap in from close range under no obstruction.

Rooney was in the second box, then counted about three steps to the edge of the first box.

If Rooney had even scored from 19 yards without anyone in goal, I could call that a tap in. But with someone to beat, it is never a tap in.
