Nah, some people might have tried to make a distinction at one time but they were ignored. All overhead kicks are now referred to as bicycle kicks as well:





A bicycle kick is a method of striking the ball in football which involves a player being airborne while connecting. Also known as an overhead kick

The bicycle kick, when executed correctly, is one of the most spectacular sights to be seen on a football field. Also known as a scissors kick or an overhead kick, it describes the action whereby a player with his back to goal kicks an airborne ball backward.

So no one's gonna mention how number 11 got put on the Summer Jam screen and can never show her face on a soccer field ever again? This is like in the NBA doing the most nasty of crossovers and then finishing it with a vicious 360 windmill dunk.

Number 11 should be forced to retire. Judging from her body language, she knows it too. :lolbron:
