Xabi's 70-Yard Wonder Goal

Did anyone see the Xabi Alonso goal against Newcastle? Amazing. After Zidane's amazing volley in the 2002 Champions League Final, this is the best goal I've ever seen. There are no videos of it yet, but apparently this is his thing -- in the January 2006 FA Cup, he scored two like it: one from 40 yards, and the other from well inside his own half (65 yards). Watch the second one here. But honestly, the one today was better.

On a side note, I've always liked Xabi as a player, but a-hem, it turns out he's pretty cute too. : )
