I must be missing something about the third Spanish goal, everyone seems to be raving about it, especially the pundits.

What I saw was the player hit the ball, granted with a fair bit of power, but it hit the post bounced across the goal hit the other post and ricocheted in.  Now I am sure that no one would suggest that was what the player intended to do, if it was OMG, it really was the best goal I have ever seen. So if he did not intend it, hitting two posts, resulting in a ricocheted goal, is extremely lucky in my book, so what am I missing, a good goal yes but worth all the hype, not so sure.

what made that a "worldy"
was the way Nacho kept the shot low
and the swerve on the strike
ok it hit the post
but that was a superb goal
have another look at it
great technique

Bang on. And bear in mind he didn't even take a touch to control it.

90 times out of a hundred when a player shoots first-time from the edge of the box, it balloons over the bar. Another 5 times he hits it into a defender, or straight at the keeper. Another 4 times he'll place it just a bit too wide. So to smash it first time and beat the keeper's reach by inches, but with just enough bend that it curls in off the post, deserves all the praise it gets.
