GOTM time again. I think this month is pretty obvious... but what do I know I've been wrong everytime...
$25 Gift Cert to Kombat for the player or parent who gets it right.
Goal Roundup after the fold..
#1 - Andre Bikey picks up the ball in the mid, rides a challenge to burst forward into the attacking third and completes the goal with a great one-two and finish. Not bad for a central defender.
#2 - A classy team goal. Let's break it down (1) Long Diagonal ball (2) Chest pass to a willing midfield runner (3) Backheal one-two, talk about deception (4) great chip to the back post (5) and a brave header to seal the deal
#3 - Arsenal are so dangerous on the counter-attack. This goal comes from a corner kick... The other teams corner kick. Arsenal break with speed and timing, but what makes the goal is run of the center forward. When the left winger slows his run and takes a touch in-field, the #9 makes a darting diagonal run behind the defense. The run holds the defenders in place which creates the 2v1 on the far side and with two passes (so often a great goal is two passes away) the opposite winger is in with a classy inside the foot finish. Great Goal!
#4 - From the same game as #3. We talked some weeks ago with the girls about the value of dribbling across the top of the box to create chances. So often defenders are coached to deal with attackers who go North & South, but don't know what to do with players when they go East & West. Watch how the first defenders lays off, the second and third don't commit and the strike is impeccable. Another great sound of the game - thump the post and in!
#5 - Once again a counter-attack goal. Great control in midfield by Elliott. Watch again how the run from the central attacker this time creates the space for the shot.
#6 - Great positioning to pick the ball up in space and run at the defender. Excellent finish from outside the box as the defense sits back at their own peril.
#7 - Such composure. Watch as Deco pulls away from his marker to find space. The fake shot to floor the first defender is awesome but the calm finish is what makes it special. He looks in complete control from the moment he receives the ball.
#8 - This is the beautiful game. Chest pass by Deco. Mid-air backheel over the defense by Lampard. Cool side-foot finish Drogba. What can I say. That is Class.
#9 - A predators strike. Torres only sniffed the misplaced control. It's still in the air and he's able to set himself and rocket it in. Great reaction.
#10 - One touch to chest control. One touch to blister the ball in the upper corner.
I'll let you know how wins in a couple wins.
Make sure to vote.

#2,NUMBER TWO,#2,NUMBER TWO,
#2,NUMBER TWO,#2 !!!!!!!!!!
Lindsey's mom votes #7 just because he used both feet. course i'd be lucky to make it in the goal anyway.
Troy says ... I thought Nate was tricking us when he said it was easy to pick which was the best goal. IMHO, goals 1,2,3 were just amazing and I thought there was no way I was going to be able to pick the winner.
4, 5, 6 were good but bored me. 7 got my interest going again. But 8 just blew me away. I was still in shock from 8 and slept through 9 and 10 made a late charge.
But my choice has to be 8. This is the first time I've made my pick after just one viewing! I'll go back and watch a second time just to be amazed all over again.
Dang this is hard!!!!! I pick number 3 = three.
AlOnDrA cOrTeS =?
I did say I thought it was pretty obvious... But who knows. I think they'll pick either #2 or #8. I like #2 because of all the different aspects - it's a real team goal.
You look to pro's to be amazed and inspired. #8 has vision, guile, cOmPoSuRe, and is pure class.
My vote #8, nk.
