Because it's beautiful

This post is a propos absolutely nothing. It is about the artistry of the first touch in soccer. Below is a video with a compilation devoted to a very specific element of soccer technique: the "touch-fake," where a player receiving a pass uses just one touch to bring the ball under control and wrong-foot the player who marks him at the same time. Watch and admire. Note especially the very first goal, which I think is one of the most amazing ever scored.
