Brilliant bicycle kick from Brazil could well be our favourite goal of the week

Pat on the back for Joao Pedro.

SOMETIMES A PLAYER will attempt a bicycle kick and fall flat on their arse looking like a bit of an eejit.

Every now and then though, somebody nails it and thatโ€™s exactly what happened in Brazil earlier this week when EC Sรฃo Josรฉ striker Joao Pedro beat the Internacional keeper with this amazing finish to help side to a thrilling 4-4 draw.

Pedro timed his jump brilliantly and connected with the cross from the right hand side perfectly to give the keeper no chance.

    @Roy Butler: bitten and hisses โ€ฆ Loved that.
    What a charismatic person. All the top people in F1 in the 90โ€ฒs and 00โ€ฒs worked for him either on the way up or at their peak. He had a marvellous eye for talent. And not to forget. He gave a certain Ayrton Senna his first drive in an F3 in 1982.

    I know nothing about that sport but was always excited by the bright yellow cars who you could pick out so easily and always watched and shouted them on because they were Irish, always craving to support something Irish on the world stage and he gave us that, RIP Eddie.

    RIP Eddie, responsible for producing the wonderful 7up Jordan in that first year the discover Ireland sponsorship it was stunning,
    Then getting up in the middle of the night to see Eddie Irvine unlaping himself in Japan to the bright yellow cars great times to be watching F1.
    Always a pleasure to hear his commentary with genuine forthright views, I doubt weโ€™ll see many like him again in F1

    A great character Formula 1 desperately needed at the time, to inspire belief that the little guy could compete.

    Spare a thought for those that love London Irish Rugby, who will be devastated that they guy driving the re-creation of the professional entity has passedโ€ฆ
