Football epitomized

Fernando Torres scores the game winner against Sunderland (click on the picture to view it full size). I love photos like this (taken from the picture thread at RAWK), the ones that show the lead-up to a laser-like shot arrowing into the lower corner. Headers and chilenas (bicycle kicks) are spectacular in their own right, but if you say 'the beautiful game,' one of the first things that comes to my mind is a pure striker, like Torres, driving home that perfect shot--no backspin and all swerve.
