Ryujiro Ueda Video: Watch Japanese Footballer's Record-Setting Header

There are many ways you can use your head in your every day life. However, the way that Japanese Football player Ryuijro Ueda used it during his match was one way that you or I will never have a chance to use our heads. 

According to the Daily Mail, “The goal, which occurred in Japan's top flight, has seen J League officials attempt to get the header verified for a world record. As for the keeper, he may stick to short goal kicks in the future.”

What’s funny is that just a month ago, Greenland Football player, Jone Samuelsen scored a 57 meter head shot, that set the record. It seemed liked the record would last for ever, as it’s hard enough to score a goal with your head, let alone from the midway point on the pitch. 

As now, it looks like Ueda has outdone Samuelsen by one meter. 

Ryuijro must have been wondering what the goalie was doing that far away from the net? 

Shouldn’t someone take this Japanese goalie aside and tell him, “Hey playing that far outside of your goal, when the ball is bouncing, is a horrible idea!”

But, the goalie is not all to blame, as where was the defense? 

You see Ryuijro make a break for the ball, with no one in a blue jersey trying to stop him, or make a play for the ball. 

In the words of the Monday Night Countdown Crew, “Come On Man!”

Nice goal from Ryuijro, way to use your head.
