[FraserClift1998]

rob green is far better (FACT)

[nasrosicky]

i miss jamie redknapp....

[RandomAcornMan]

hell yes.

[RupeeNL]

The replay sounds like a Raid Boss from WoW.

[Delikanli67k]

you need to have balls of steel to do that

[wardyboy6]

0:43 Santa laughing?

[meoshewu]

Great play dude.

[89strangelove]

wonderful wonderful. he so couldn't help the urge to do that shit!! love him..

[engimo94]

tumbs up if u learned how to do that!

[araam101]

Im rick james, bitch

[WaldoUnited]

seemed necessary to me. why make an out of control kick when you could catch it and throw it to a team mate? oh right... showing off is important.

[juanski11]

She's a super freak, super freak

She's super-freaky, yow

(everybody sing)

Super freak, super freak

[ansesh]

shaolin soccer

[justXperiment]

@ansesh haha forgot about that film... one of the worst films I've ever seen

[chosking132]

shows you how shit england are

[SimplemindedGamers]

@chosking132 were*

[yaeffers]

so necessary

[1NorthernWarrior]

@NextDudes eh?

[NextDudes]

Carlos S

[NextDudes]

Im colombian and i know how to do that is not hard you just jump and kick ur legs back not hard xD

[giovannit211]

@NextDudes Your ethnicity has nothing to do with soccer. Anybody can do it.

[Austrelopitecus]

kirk hammet's dad

[AshtonandAbbi]

What an absolutely RUBBISH shot from Redknapp.......

[grifterchris]

england are shite anyway

[kdeutrich]

it was necessary. he over committed forward and that was his only option...but to jump late and miss.

[1NorthernWarrior]

That has got to be the best BLOODY save in the ENTIRE HISTORY OF FOOTBALL!

[NextDudes]

@1NorthernWarrior Correction FutBol

[MalinaliTrejo]

WOW! Impressive that takes SKILL!

[benjoe111]

lol



[Stillwell86]

Balls of steel. Colombian players have been murdered for causing columbian failure, and he does this at the world cup? Wow.

[Smiler445]

Ah fuck -.- He's too old to buy him in Fifa.

[123angelcaido]

his plan b were the offside of the england player

[MayanIceMan]

Rene is thinkingg after amazing save "Fuck with me"

[TrainerAlec]

The secret to his epic is the hair.

[DickHead69able]

Redknapp should have smashed it.

[MrPapashangoo]

14 people tried dis and smacked der balls off d ground :)

[moscowflyer111]

I was there that day - behind the goal. What you can't see from this video is that the offside flag was up as Redknapp chipped the ball. Therefore Higuita knew he could do the Scorpion kick without risk.

[Kydos37]

@moscowflyer111 It wouldnt matter if a player was offside once he didnt interfere with the play which he didnt because the shot was taken from well back and far from the offside player

[blusuck]

because catching it is to easy

[youngybhoy1988]

if he missed that he would have been shot like that own goal guy

[CRoStubbs]

imagine if he missed it

[monkeyboystevey]

I was there as a young boy! one of two football matches i have ever seen live, was fucking amazing

[demonduri]

why couldn't he just caught the ball with his hands?

[napleee]

@demonduri Because its BORING !

[jordanapolis]

like a bosss

[petetheheat2003]

Best hair on a goalie yes, best save, no. It was fantastically athletic, but not very practical or necessary.

[CRAZYGAMER4LYF]

Proud to be colombian.

[kong11232]

This is what happens when Ghengis Khan is the goal keeper

[ThisIsWater7]

Jamie Redknapps poor cross is the best thing he ever did, just because it gave us the scorpion kick.

[360FTW666]

just imagine if he missed that..

[draw3w]

and if it had gone in.......

[Mrcemify]

cool



[TheAnMProductionz]

new chuck norris

[mattnpatxi]

Hahaa, the chef in my mums restaurant, he's Colombian and used to play football over there, he played with Rene apparently and he was a real character :L

[Handsmf9]

He may have been as drunk but that was as athletic a move as I've ever seen.

[B123437]

That laugh on 0:43 creeps me out...

[B123437]

[MrMofo4eva]

@B123437 wow u really do have excess time on ur hands

[jewforfood]

fuck yo couch nigga!

[saintsimon9]

This may have been mentioned already, I haven't read all of the comments, the linesman flagged for offside as the ball was played and so it wouldn't have been a goal if it had gone in and Higuita knew this at the time so he wouldn't have looked stupid if it hadn't come off!!

[iAMScootaG]

if that went wrong he'd of looked the biggest twat ever.

[Dinosauren123]

@iAMScootaG You risk a lot, you can a lot.

[SjonniTh]

@iAMScootaG I guess he would have used more traditional goalkeeping wouldn't this have been a friendly :)

[CarlCobain]

@SjonniTh i think the flag had been raised for an offside too

[meoshewu]

@iAMScootaG I think he would be more like a dead Colombian if it didn't work out. Those drug lords that bet on those matches don't play back in Colombia.

[AnnaRey377]

@iAMScootaG but it didn't lol



[iAMScootaG]

@AnnaRey377 obviously 

[proutoxy]

muscle spasms don't come at better times.

[amedhat01]

Cocaine effect.

[Wessssss21]

that is not a scorpion kick

[PureOwnageBoys]

LOL



[campbpar]

K.. Slow fuckin ball tho

[Oscar301]

just a flash of genius

[uncut85]

the colombian Rick James!

[zulhilmi50]

salute!

[moveyabodysquadpromo]

if only he had failed, then the commentator words might have been along the lines of "goodness me, what a fucking dumb idiot.."

[siewbryan123]

Ok the fast 1 is so funny

[gaigana]

He laughs rene's face

[DouglasEdward84]

Really cool, athletic and hilarious but not the greatest save ever he could have caught it easily if he hadn't misjudged the trajectory horribly.

[s8715053122004]

@DouglasEdward84 no....i dont play soccer that much...but i can tell when the balls is flyng towards the goal it was out of his reach...im not sure if u catch it inside the goal is counts as a goal, so the only way to save it is by not touching the ground and make contact with the ball.

[eamosdabest]

@s8715053122004 What are you shitin about? All he had to do was stand there and he would have saved it.

[Michelle45631]

he is so awesome

[TheKid1551]

even though this was against england holy hell he's an epic goalkeeper

[croFOREVERbbb1]

my cichlids had babys

[ScrollerRoller]

so fuckin random

[NYYROCK]

dont know to much about soccer (football) ....what is the purpose of this? why not catch it?

[Repstrom]

@NYYROCK omfg... no body does these things, thats why this is such a big deal

[NYYROCK]

@Repstrom oh my bad so the point is he should have caught it but he just wanted to impress?

[Repstrom]

@Repstrom it's just for show off. it's just insane that he would risk the other time to score when trying to do this.  nobody sane people does this, it's crazy! ;p

[Visionwriter1]

@NYYROCK its supposed to be fun...he was having fun...the sad fact is that people have forgotten that little piece that a game is first and foremost "a game" and is meant to be fun...

[camaleon18]

I'm tired about people saying that this play was UNNECESSARY or what would have happened if he missed, or that he did it only because he was offside...wtf!! HE DID IT!! AND HE DID IT RIGHT!! now he's in the history of the greatest plays in football because he dared to do something nobody else have tried and was the first one to do so. Just to answer your stupid questions if he would have missed, his teammates would have probably had a laugh for a couple days and kept going with their lives.

[lilchavez00]

@camaleon18

dude ur right people keep talking shit but the colombian wouldnt have luagh at him they would of killed him becuase that was an international game

if u dont believe me look up this guy

Andres escobar he got killed for making an autogoal on an international game

RIP

[camaleon18]

u r even more stupid just for saying that. This was not an international game of importance man, this was a friendly match, and just because one player got killed once over a world cup doesn't mean is going to happen every time for every single mistake a player does, plus I knoe who you are talking about, I'm colombian, and believe it or not there are other thoughts of why he might have gotten shot but obviously the own goal was the most probable one.

[lilchavez00]

@camaleon18

dude many people had moneybidded on that game that they lost becuase of a mistake that some idoit made id be pissed if i lost millions of dollars becuase some asshole just fucked up

[gunzt3rkenfu92]

@camaleon18

Apparently you've never been to Colombia.

Just 3 years prior someone scored a goal in their own net and got shot a week after. They take soccer seriously in South America.

[camaleon18]

@gunzt3rkenfu92 I am Colombian you idiot! I know about what happened to Andres Escobar pendejo! all I saId was that people are exaggerating over the fact that he would have gotten killed over an own goal in a friendly match, and if you are Colombian shame on you for thinking everytime a soccer player commits a mistake he is going to get killed.

[offline01]

When they invented soccer.. they didnt imagine this southamerican invention

[Bieliber97]

Higuita is awesome <3 Tumbs up if you agree <3 (:

[Artudorockz]

Waha, that demon laugh

[FedReserv]

Balls, balls, balls... And if you're up to do something like this while playing for Columbia team, a bull sized one.

[mikelad777]

Kirk Hammett?

[ramiakaz]

AMAZING!!!  :o

[anthonywcl]

Epic save! No one can did it like Higuita did XD

[siuol0002]

is that the chipmunks talking at the end of this video? haha lol

[4masterfuls]

Dude that can't be True

[marito271]

re u kidding...? has FIFA REALLY BANNED the Scorpion Rene Kick ? Pl Somebody tell me...

[finalski100]

sick

[Mr540laserflip]

whoa, FIFA banned the scorpion??? What a shame...

[diamantinadavina]

Its a pity FIFA banned the scorpion.......awesome :)

[moscowidler]

красавец!

[luiscastell14]

fantastic player colombian!!

[danyl123]

LOL!!! really cool but he would have looked silly if it went in

[NTropy13]

AWESOME SAUCE!!!

[hinatasexslave]

damn, and against the creatiors of football soccer!

[xDeRo29x]

that was pretty b.a. But couldn't he have just as easily caught the ball instead??

[TheCommentingAccount]

thumbs up if you think higuita is the most charismatic goalkeeper EVER!! :D

[BazingaBubbleAcid]

@TheCommentingAccount  dude u kno this crazy bastard got arrested for giving ransom money to some guys keeping a girl hostage? he's just awesome

[dreadedtugboat]

@TheCommentingAccount

people seriously stop commenting wanting thumbs up. its almost as bad as saying "ill suck your dick for a thumbs up." your pathetic.

[TheCommentingAccount]

@dreadedtugboat pay attention, i made that comment 3 months ago. i know it's retarded....so i stopped saying that 3 months ago....

[TheFunnyLee]

@TheCommentingAccount no body seds thumbs up anymore

[BayernMunich4life31]

@TheCommentingAccount He's the most charismatic footballer ever

[iluvcolombians]

luv it

[Paulmarly]

I dnt give a fuck wat no one says thats my parcero (homie) right there and that shit was raw as fuk, i jus wish the ball would have been a mexicans head. lol :)

[dannymoney02220]

@Paulmarly ahhhh creep

[LightninOV]

[Superpiair1]

Looks nice, but in fact it is very stupid. If I were his coach I would give him a fine for taking such risk. Afterall: if he misses he cant do anything at all. A normal save would have been better. If he for some reason lets go of the ball he can still correct. If he hits the ball wrong now or even misses he cant correct for he cant see the ball.

You dont see vd Sar (for example) taking those risks and he still stands out even though he is 40 years old now.

[MegaWrh]

@Superpiair1

Dude it's flashy and has flair. Chill out, he was the best goalkeeper in the world at the time and if he hadn't been incarcerated because of the Pablo Escobar fiasco Columbia probably wins the world cup

[longestroadoutofeden]

@MegaWrh lmao...apart from this party trick he was a fuckin liability...there are hundreds of instances of him going wandering and getting fucked over by the strikers or whoever...and as for columbia winning the world cup..yeah likely as brazil winning the skiing at the winter olympics..lmao...u knob.

[camaleon18]

That's why you probably are not to be seen anywhere or will never go in history about anythiing because you like to keep it safe. Keep keeping it safe in your boring life buddy. COLOMBIA THE BEST!!

[professorjitterbug]

seems unnecessary.

[09102861]

cus he's spectre tosh from starcraft

[11memo]

the best in the world!!!!

[TheFifaFeaver]

wtf.. its all I can say

[jackmosley06]

biggest pwn ever

[Chitownboy1023]

im rick james bitch! fuck yo couch!

[miamiroc]

@Chitownboy1023 Cocaine's a hell of a drug.

[plinkoXD]

hahahaha loving the voice effects. really gives it a nice touch

[jgomez233able]

kirk hammett look alike

[capullobocazas]

@DutchTorres well... that would be the most embarrassing colombian moment. ahá xD

[amirrorbehind]

LOL this should be named "Rick James Kick"

[sasman1981]

best ever 

[RobVanDam776]

Its a really cool looking save, but he had that chance of that going in the net if he failed to hit it. He would look terriable if he missed it lol

[smoogy120]

@RobVanDam776 haha yeah so true

[longestroadoutofeden]

@RobVanDam776 irrelevant..what all these worshippers fail to mention in their posts is that he knew the flag was up for offside so it didnt matter what happened...thats why he did it...he has tried similar stuff for real in league games and come unstuck like the real calamity that he was week in week out.

[jannerblue]

@762SLR762

Because your the one spouting off.. 

[jannerblue]

@762SLR762

haha now now. i want you to teach me, if your to be believed i know nothing..

[jannerblue]

@762SLR762

Haha substantiate your argument

[jannerblue]

@762SLR762

Your boring, i'd suggest in future not making claims or arguments unless you can follow them up ;)

[jannerblue]

@762SLR762

It has everything to do with it when your argument was that i didn't know what it was.. I asked you to explain it to me, being as I clearly didn't know what it was. Something you had failed to do on multiple ocassions.. I made a claim (that I new what it was) and backed it up, if you are unable to do so it's all good, just admit it..

As for the save, offside or not it was still an awesome bit of skill.. Pointless, yes. Reckless, yes. Awesome YES.

Big kisses

[jannerblue]

@762SLR762

Obviously not?? Fella, im bored of this now.. You made a claim (that I didn't know the ruling) I proved I did, to which you have made no reply, infact completely ignored. If you can't/won't back up your arguments and claims then I really can't be arsed with this debate anymore, far more important things to be doing, like watching paint dry..

[MrHerpez]

@762SLR762 wasnt a dead ball , after he did that look at the english player going after it ,

[jannerblue]

@762SLR762

Haha fella you've changed the subject again.. We had the showboat debate.. You claimed I new nothing about the game, I showed I did and asked you to prove me wrong, you haven't done that instead completely ignoring the fact that you were proved wrong.

I really can't be arsed with it anymore, if your not willing/able to back up your claims in your own words (not googles) then in future, don't make insinuations!

[jannerblue]

@762SLR762

Haha I don't need to look it up, I know the ruling.. As you can see by an earlier reply.. I'm waiting for you to explain it to me though, being you claim i know nothing about the game.. It's clear that you don't know it, you can admit it i wont hold it against you..

[jannerblue]

@762SLR762

Still not explained the rule though have you, nobhead..

[goldencolombian]

@762SLR762 n ur a little bitch whos so fuckin retarded he doesnt know dat favelas r in venezuela n brazil only. shut da fuck up u piece of trailer park trash

[Itsutaya]

:P I love higuita tell me another goalie that does this and is the one that takes the freekicks in a game lol and he plays midfield as a goalie lmao risky mofo

[jannerblue]

@762SLR762

thats getting away from the fact that the IS brilliant, yes it's cocky, yes it's dangerous and yes he would have looked stupid, but he didn't (he'd done it before).. you sir, are a know fuck all tit

[jannerblue]

@762SLR762

fella your a cock.. a blind one too.. he would blow after because that is when the other players (the offside one) becomes active and interferes with the play.. If you new (like you claim) to have known the offside rule you'd have pointed this out but you didn't because you don't..

I know it's changed since so please don't come at me with the new rulings..

[jannerblue]

@762SLR762

should have gone to specsavers fella! the ref blows for offside only AFTER the keeper made the save.. I'm asking you to explain the offside rule because you insinuated that i know nothing about the game.. so would like you to explain it to me, being you clearly know it all.. to be fair, im bored shitless of this argument, you make claims but are unwilling to back your claim up by explaining the reasoning behind it.. as for the quality of the save, well thats down to opinion i suppose

[jannerblue]

@762SLR762

you still haven't explained what the rule is though have you..?? whether the ref blows for offside is debatable, can't really tell because it goes straight on to the keeper then a replay.. either way, offside or not how you can say the save is crap is beyond belief.. yes it is showboating, its showboating of the highest order aswell!

[jannerblue]

@762SLR762

I do.. But it's looking more and more likely that you don't. so, like ive asked, quite a reasonable request, explain to me and everyone else who is offside and where

[jannerblue]

@762SLR762

So, oh wise one, pleeeease explain to me how it was a dead ball

[jannerblue]

@762SLR762

No obviously not.. whereas you seem to know it all don't you Mr Motson.. Your going to have to explain to me how the ball is 'dead (off side)' as you say, because as far as I can see Rdknapp is a mile and a half ONSIDE, the only player that could have been was the striker who started to move in after he had shot but it went nowhere near him so he couldn't be called offside (he didn't interfere), it infact comes out to defenders, who if you notice, carry on playing..

[jannerblue]

@762SLR762

the only person looking like a dick here is you.. what i do or dont know about the game (and i know an awful lot) is neither here nor there.. the fact is this is one of THE all time great saves in world football, not as good as Banks save v pele, but up there..

[jannerblue]

@762SLR762

are you serious?? thats what makes it so good.. the fact that it should have gone wrong and he should have looked like a dick, but it didn't and came out of it a legend.. your a bit dim aren't you..

[Guyoriginal1]

@762SLR762 you sir are of the rare species of 'faggot'

[magee01]

BWHAHA I FUCKING KNEW I DIDNT IMAGINE THIS, THAT GUY IS A LEGEND

[goldencolombian]

@762SLR762 favelas r in brazil retard get ur facts straight bitch
