I just spilled my Japanese ice cream everywhere.
Is that a euphemism or something?
What city are you in?
Looks like it misses the QPR defender’s head by inches–and lucky for him because he would be eating through a straw for a week.
I was confused when I saw the headline, because DC United had not played yet today.
witty
Our Rafael is just as good!
I’m going to get chided but there was no defender on him. As nice as it was, I would put it on equal footing with Darlington Nagbe’s goal from two years ago.
You can’t see it in the video, but the ball was cleared out toward a QPR player. Rafael fought his was around him before hitting that shot. You can see the player trying to recover and close him down, but too late.
You’re right that was a good challenge to get the ball. There was still quite a bit of time.
that could of killed someone
Every time I strike the ball that sweetly, I wet in my Under Armors a little.

Wow! What a strike. It’s magic like that goal that makes me love soccer.
That was clearly not a “must see” goal…joke…just kidding, Ives! That was a laser!
I think we can all agree, that was a must see goal.
I hit one just like that with my weak foot last night
Weak foot, that well-placed, with that kind of power?
Great job. What model cleats u got?
Anyone notice Van Persie taking a spill into the camera pit just before Rafael shoots?
