Goal recap:
(1) Could you track an attacker to your own 18, make a gut busting 80 yard run with the ball, and still be cool enough to make a great pass your teammate could coolly slot away?
(2) Clever turn. Used his body to turn the defender. Buried the finish with his weaker foot.
(3) Great Chilean! (Americans call it a bicycle kick though... not sure why.)
(4) What makes this goal great is the teamwork you don't notice. The first header from the goalkick finds a teammate. Then the layoff and run by the forward to draw the defender out of his central position. Then the good finish. Overall excellent execution.
(5) Good run. Good decision. Great turn. Better Hit.
(6) Great goal from a Center Back*. Wins a header in midfield. Continues forward playing a one-two with an attacker and ends up on the edge of the box with a great strike. (* please keep in mind he does play for Arsenal**)(** Watch Arsenal play and you'll understand)
(7) Another Striker using his body to shield and roll the defender. But the speed and the finish are top class.
(8) This goal starts with great anticipation by the left back to cut out an attack. but the rest is All Fernando Torres. Moves, Speed, Power and the ability to FINISH.
(9) I posted this goal a few weeks ago but it gets better and better every time I see it. My new favorite part: if you turn up the volume, even over the commentator, you can hear the ball RIP THE NET! Whao!
(10) Great combination play around the box. An inside wall-pass, backheel flick, fake shot to draw a defender and a strong finish.
So there they are!
Pick your favorite and win. The winner will be announced Oct 18th.
(One vote per person. If there are multiple votes for the GOTM, a winner will be chosen at random)

What happens if more than one person gets it right? is there a drawing for the gift card?
@ Julia,
If more than one person guesses GOTM, a winner will be determined by a random draw.

9 of these goals are all something our players are capable of doing every match.
#1 I can totally see our defensive mid quickly transitioning like Craig Bellamy did and slotting it to our outside forward who cooling puts the ball past the keeper.
And #8 the individual effort and skill is top notch. Any time the keeper is beat near post it give me chills. I've seen our very own players score similar goals.
But my vote goes to the one goal I don't think our players can do ... #3. No matter what you call it or how the ball got there; it's those types of goals that sell tickets and get non-soccer fans to begin appreciating the sport.
#5 ... Kayla
