That message is as true today as it was when it was first scribbled down on that oversized foolscap copy paper back in 1776. Some golazos are just inexplicably better than others.
For example, a goal is always greatly improved if it bounces in off the underside of the crossbar. There's no rhyme or reason to this logic, yet for some reason it's almost universally accepted as fact.
