Watch the following clip before debating: Invalid Video Link Lampard insists his stunning goal against Barcelona was inspired by training-ground practice... what do you think? <div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">Lampard curled the ball into the net from a seemingly impossible angle to put the Blues on equal terms against Barca in their heated 2-2 Champions League draw at the Nou Camp on Tuesday night.</div>
There is no way he was trying to flick that into the goal, you can see him look back twards the edge of the six yard box as that's where he meant to kick it. Also, Drogba is offside. He is clearly active as he is only a couple of yeards away from Lampard and is clearly starting a run into the box when the ball is struck.
I actually think he ment to score that, just watch his head when he shoots. I think it tells us alot about the goal.
Another fluke in my eyes. Also you may think that Drogba would be interfering. But with FIFA, the player has to actually make a movement towards the ball, or touch it. Its another tough decision for the Linesman!

And if he isn't classed as active, he's at least interfering with play.

Amazing goal, a great shoot from a difficult position. It's an offside goal and I think he ment to score because there was no one of his teammates around to get the ball.
nah it was a last ditch attempt to get it in the box. no way on earth did he mean to score. Still looks damn impressive though
I reckon he went for the shot. Crazy goal. Dont reckon he'd be able to do it again though. Thats Lampard, he is a bit of a ball hog. He wasnt trying to cross it, coz what kind of cross was that? Yyou cant just accidentely score a a goal like that. You need to at least want to score. Great goal.
Fluke.. Drogba is offside i know he is not involved in the play but still .. and to me Lampard has tried to get that ball back over into the box but its obvisious he wont admit it he is English not Brazillian.
