Julio Gomez Game Winning Bicycle Kick for Mexico

I think we’ll be hearing from Julio Gomez a lot more in the years to come. This kid had one hell of a game for Mexico in the U-17 World Cup semi-final match versus Germany. The 17 year old Gomez had a hand in all three goals, helping his team reach the final versus Uruguay. Full story over NY Times Goal blog.

I wonder where Gomez will end up playing in Europe. Watch the bicycle kick by Gomez in the video below. It’s a work of art really, he hits the ball perfectly and it glances off the post and goes in. And to top it all off, Gomez’s head is wrapped in bandages as he does it.
