  • Can’t Score a Better Goal With Your Head Than This

    Jone Samuelsen who plays his soccer for Norwegian side Odd Grenland got to become an internet sensation the last couple of days, thanks to an incredible header from his own half, about 55-60 meters away, scoring one of the craziest goals and probably longest ever headed goal into the net in a 3-1 win over Tromso.
