2009 AT&T MLS Goal of the Year Nominees

[OhDouble007]

7:40. WORST MISS EVER

[OhDouble007]

Arnaud's goal against NE was a shitty goal. All he had to do was tap it into an empty goal.

[pokewars123]

its in the net, its in the net, its in the... WE KNOW!

[MERCER12OLI]

American commentary over football is brilliant. Can we swap please :)

Btw, I'm English and the MLS is a great league

[twrzenski]

@OJRMFG

Very true, the league will come around and produce quality players come the near future. it takes time.

[loveheartagrammetal]

I'd put the MLS next to the SPL (for my fav/local club) and the english premier leauge as my favourite to watch. Of course there are some things a bit too Americanized but it's still good.

[manutdabc123]

some of those were quality but some were poor...i mean a goals a goal they all count the same but this is goal of the year nominations and some didnt deserve to be there

[Doudoud78]

TFC Goal 9:33 is just sweet ! no comment

[lizzy2475]

what the fuck is tie game !!! it's called 1 all.

[lizzy2475]

what the fuck is tie game !!! it's called 1 all.

[JayDeeNinetyThree]

Am I imagining this or are most of these goals equalisers?

[SoChillSoCrispy]

Clint Mathis' gaal at 2:16 is one of the hardest to score in the game. An extremely underrated strike.

[CashSmeller]

@aw4991 , same for any other league, besides the part that you said we call a ricochet, i will admit that's weird, but otherwise, there is a lot of skill and luck involved in all the teams in the world that play soccer

[etetepete]

nice goals!

You guys better prepare for 2014.

You know, the World Cup is like the tournaments in Dragonball, just wich a higher powerlevel.

[aw4991]

Apparently a volley is called a ricochet in America and pure luck is confused for skill in some cases

[themls2010]

i like how they didnt just put the goal of the week winners that i already saw (like in 2010)

[Emper0rH0rde]

@ 4:48 How is that a Goal of the *Year* nominee? It shouldn't even be a Goal of the Week nominee because goals like that get scored on a regular basis.

[patient451]

whichever commentator calls goals with "IT'S IN THE NET! IT'S IN THE NET!" has just got to go. horrid call, and his voice is insanely annoying.

[kimbladderr]

@OJRMFG if you were english you wouldnt have said soccer. fail

[Emper0rH0rde]

@kimbladderr The word 'soccer' is slang for 'association football' and was coined in England.

[Howcroft1991]

Freddy Montero's goal in week 28 was the best

[DropkickPenguin]

Brian McBride- pushing 40 and is still working magic. This legend is never going to die.

[Lockerz323]

soccer is going to be popular in america too.

[bbaric123]

YEAAAAAAAAAAAAH

no.

[tunasoccer19]

why are some of them tap ins??? lol

[Cowman25million]

@Themasterofannoyance but what about ze LA GALAXY?! lol

[Cowman25million]

this should be called Seattle Sounders' and the rest of the MLS' goals cuz it seems like half of them are by seattle sounders

[pancakehands]

3:37 to 3:43 hahahahahahahahaha

[Cowman25million]

@pancakehands lol "HAPY BIRDAY TOO YOO!"

[woodchuckcider1]

anyone know the name of the music? joe satriani maybe? anyone?

[SnakeGUY27]

I fucking love mexican announcers. GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO­OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL!

[n3oSerious]

that announcer that says YEESSSS after every goal is soo brutal lol

[95TMLFAN]

week 10 was nice volley

[account4tom]

wtf is this music

[6beast5mode1]

mls needs better commentators. period. almost all of them suck. if there's one thing that would keep me from watching an mls game it's the commentators.

...better goalkeepers would help too...

[95TMLFAN]

@6beast5mode1 toronto had good commentators

[owl2366]

douche at 3:38 was singing happy birthday

[shadowacidX]

mls needs better goal keppers

[rusher456]

i love the MLS, but Bundesliga is better :)

[rwarzor]

that long distance shot was dirty

damn

[Thompsonskicker11]

lol this is the theme song for dune buggy on primary games .com

[RobertGoodFella]

McBrides goal was real nice

[rdesmond247]

all Montero goals, Jaqua's first goal, Lopez goal, Alvarez goal, Namoff goal, Findley goal, Eskandarian goal, Donovan's goal and especially Jankauskas goal are all world class goals! MLS is awesome and it's getting better year in and year out....Thierry Henry might even come to New York Red Bulls!

[Vasile0wnzU]

why are most of these goals with the left foot? i thought moste people are right footed

[Shizrapes]

Fredy Montero Week 28

All the rest were average boring goals

[westlife4life93]

Donovan is a class player

[joserules]

the seattle goals werent that good... especially not the one against galaxy 8:06 ok it was an ok goal but not for a top play nominee!

[gikkios]

ahaha ilarious...let see the REAL GOALS!! come to italy to see a match will be a pleasure to explain how to play football

[tg3acep]

How about this, you stay in Italy and we'll enjoy our league.

[gikkios]

sure very good and enjoy also your  "poor soccer"

[DouglasEdward84]

Will explain diving and faking injuries playing like a pansy, match fixing, bribing officials, getting lucky draws in world cup pools to us? Because thats Italy's modus operandi.

[gikkios]

It 'better to scams that use atomic bombs, what about the use of steroids and disgust that is in your NFL football? Ahaha friend america before speaking begins to look "at home", with your impicment with to your wars, impeachment, Watergate ... my dear friend the truth is that you can not teach anybody anything .. you are peggiori.Studia your story.

WE HAVE WIN 4 word cup...and you how many??Shut up AMATEUR

[DouglasEdward84]

Yeah how much did you bribe the refs to beat the U.S. and the aussies at the last world cup. Watergate LOL that pales in comparison to the corruption that Italy has with the Cosa Nostra you retard. How about your wars in the 1930's the invasion of Abyssinia, Albania and Greece which reminds me of the shortest non fiction book of all time..."military heroes of modern Italy."

[gikkios]

sorry but I do not take lessons from the country's biggest polluters in the world with more crime, where there is the death penalty and where people can buy weapons simply going to a store.I said, you can not talk about well it is normal that a small team of amateur or envious of 4 cups of the world .maybe one day I managed to see a final. let's do this Keep your america with all the disgust and your soccer and he thinks to be happy and the best at least saying lies will be happy. bye

[gikkios]

...if u talk about history READ THE RIGHT BOOKS...you discover that you have killed a president .. killed a president! Have you killed any other political leader, have killed millions of your compatriots in Vietnam, millions with the nuclear bomb, supported wars, kill and make war ... you can do this only because you do not have culture. Colombo!... what the fuck WE ARE ITALIAN we discovered america.Boring to talk to you bye

[DouglasEdward84]

You do realise I'm actually Canadian. LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLO­LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL. Take care

[xThePrickleyRabbitx]

dude, shut up! all foreign people say the same shit.."u pollute, u kill, u start wars" im tired of fucking hearing it...u do the same thing, but nobody notices because ur not america (or canada)lol...everybodys alway bitching about what we do, maybe its because we basically rule the fucking WORLD!!!!

[gikkios]

"we basically rule the fucking WORLD!!!! "

lol lol lol At the end..HERE IS THE EXAMPLE OF AMERICAN, I was right. loL REIGNS ON THIS COCK!

IGNORANT MONKEY bye

[xThePrickleyRabbitx]

i would be offended if u made any sense..but since u dont, it just makes u sound more like a complete dick...fucking italians, a bunch of idiots

[fatrapperinyou]

@gikkios yea many people in america are retareded and have no knowledge of what our government actually does, and the ones that do ( like myself ) are looked at as paronoid conspiarcy theorists. anyway thats not my point my point is it doent make sense to hat america for what the american government is doing? u think the american citizens decided to give irag nuclear wepons and then use that as an excuse to go to war with them ten years later no dont be mad at america be mad at our government

[FidoDido1980]

For about another 10 years, perhaps you do.

China is rising ...

[xThePrickleyRabbitx]

@FidoDido1980 wtf??...ur an idiot, china will never be what north america is..only europe will

[FidoDido1980]

If you say so.

[sicksoccerstar]

7:58 absolute best

[freqbass]

Can't believe Landon Donovan's goal won over the BEAUTIFUL goal Jason Garey and Steven Lenheardt combined on. Donovan is such a talentless little troll... never deserved 2009 MLS goal of the year. GO CREW.

[timmy8372]

my boi fred from the a league

[seby408]

freddy montero is a beast

[jinma2]

Week 19 my boy Lopez, Sick !!!!! Lets go WIZ!!!!

[FCnewyorkESC]

give it to mcbride

[sp1ink]

brian mcbride week 4 what a quality take.

[reeanna144]

Dang look at the last goal from real salt lake when i saw that i was silent from awsemon ness

[kablamaflama100]

Only 1 Fire goal? That's a surprise

[nirishcontroversy]

O'Brian White week 26. Terrific team work, goal and name.

[NoriokoTheMagicSkunk]

Norioko says big Janny, just for being a class act at Hearts. Don't even need to see the goal i'm that bias.

[ronaldocisse]

HOW CAN I JOIN THE MLS?

[chepenudo]

find out which team is doing try outs and sign up. Visit the team's websites to find out more.

[ronaldocisse]

ok thanks

[argeHu]

Jankauskas and Lopez the best!

[rony503es]

WEEK 11 ARTURO ALVAREZ SAN JOSE

[negro7488]

arturo alvarez rules, week 11

[Rous1an]

фантастика!

[DavEers]

ARTURO ALVAREZ its great!

[futbolfreak001]

Montero 28, Jankauskas 26

[wizards7]

A couple great goals from KC in Davy Arnaud week 1 and Claudio Lopez week 19 that of course I'm voting for, but I can't believe more people aren't recognizing what a sick goal that is from Donovan in week 21.

[TheSuperSamwel]

Jaunkauskas best

[JoSe8Y]

Chicagos and Seattles Goals are the best

[sp1ink]

Brian McBride is a good player, he was impressive for fulham a few years back.

[teard20]

marco pappa is the best in the chicago fire his from guatemala centro america

[Iggy3]

O'Brian White week 26 hands down

[realsaltlake4ever]

edgar jankauskas for goal of the year.

[JohnnyHardin]

Why isn't Kenny Cooper's week 1 goal on here?

[GabyRooty]

O'Brian White Week 26, Fredy Montero Week 28 and Claudio Lopez Week 19

[Godswarrior93]

Claudio Lopez Week 19

[meskinas2004]

jankauskas

[Mariusrukelt]

E. Jankauskas 1

[kingpin8812345]

why are half of these against nick rimando?

[marvinmedrano]

Week 5 ,Chings header was like no other!

[MrRc1088]

CLUBE DE REGATAS FLAMENGO!!!

[windsonn]

CLUBE ATLETICO MINEIRO!!!!!!

[slugicide]

Week 28 - Fredy Montero

[zepas01]

Jankauskas 1.

[BennyH11]

Last album I listened to was Cut Copy - In Gost Colours. The band are Australien. The last movie I watched was called La Haine, which is French. Then I sat at my computer and a mate sent me link to look at a collection of mediocre goals from MLS. His link was followed by a comment saying " look at this, embarrassing!".

[TomMichaels101]

If you're going to fashion yourself as an elitist, you ought to at least learn how to write. You're embarrassing yourself in public.

And you should learn how to use the "Reply" function too.

[TomMichaels101]

I just realized it will very soon be time for Goals of the Decade. That should be a blast.

[BennyH11]

More than half of these goals you could see in any game of the premier league. Are these supposed to be the best goals of the season? MLS is dog shit!

[FCnewyorkESC]

Let me guess. You just got finished to listening to american music right after you just saw an american movie...you then went to your computer and went out of your way to watch american footy.. You are pathetic. You english need have more pride in your own shit and quit glomming on america... You dont see us watching mediocre movies, eating tastless fried food and watching soul-less EPL matches full of pussy dives and overplayed non-englishmen.

[TomMichaels101]

Nice goals, and nice comments too. Mathis and Donovan are definitely contenders.

(How long 'til this thread descends into a stupid argument about the word "soccer," or about the quality of the American game?)

[tonyclayton]

looks like round about 45 minutes :-)

[tonyclayton]

for the attacks on mls i mean...

[TomMichaels101]

Yeah, "BennyH11" launches the thread's descent.

It's such a bizarre animosity some of these people have, I swear.

[xshawnyxboyx]

it's between white (dero), donovan, and mathis

[virtute71]

Hmmm so many to remember.  I'd go for Findley's goal.

[rocky1169pt]

Nice goals but probably the best is the Mathis voley.

Great to see Edgaras Jankauskas still making great goals. At FC Porto, he wasnt a 1st team player but scored when needed.

[danlourenco]

I'm a revs fan but damn that Mathis volley was sweet. I'd also go with Jankauskas' strike.

[Gniady85]

1. McBride

2. Donovan

3. Jankauskas

4. Mathis

5. Findley

6. Eskandarian

7. Quaranta

8. Lewis

9. Namoff

10. Davis

[agger08]

I do like that McBride goal.

[thierryman]

A lot of Sounders goals I see, lol

[unspellable]

That was fun.

[Jimmybangkok]

Funny how there's a goal from the halfway line almost every season in MLS

[Kreator82]

Way to many average goals. Couldn't they cut the list down a bit?

[v3cowman20]

My favs

1.White

2.Mcbride

3.Montero(off the post)

4.Eskandarian

5.Lowry

[haloMaiiFranchise]

Davy Arnaud

[10Messiman]

landon donovan fo sho

[fabalooo]

kiddin me? mathis for sure

[polkm78]

Montero's week 1 was weak. Too bad Cooper's bomb isn't in this. Lots of great goals.

[RedefineYou]

Montero 28 for sure. Too bad you have to look at that crappy pitch though.

[CaspianLXXXII]

Nate Jaqua 11 was sick - but that goal never happens without the ridiculous pop and lob pass from Ljungberg, which they only partially show.

[pollo1970]

Clint Mathis' one-time volley.

[greenplan3]

I go for Eskandarian mainly because the touch he did to get it over the defender followed by a full volley

[schmno11]

week 19 Lopez!!

[alltimelowrocks011]

Brian Namoff's Goal was beast son!

[MADE2OWND]

Landon Donovans and Eskandarian's goals!damn where the Beckhams goal!

[zeelaw]

damn when did barca get int eh mls?

[ricky00014]

fredy montero week 28!! his was awesome

[206Biz]

Ianni bicycle. Montero 2 and 28 or Claudio Lopez.

[drake1636]

that wasn't a bicycle.

[206Biz]

It was a week goal physically but the fact that it was the first goal in franchise history adds to it. But it should not be up for goal of the year. Maybe for Sounders goal of the year.  But not for all of MLS.

[mls]

All the goals that win Goal of the Week are contenders and the fans get to vote down to 1 Goal of the Year.

[LittleCD]

Eskandarian 18, 6:25

eddie lewis' goal was pretty sweet, especially since it was his b-day

[luhibaseball]

probably have to go with Clint Mathis...a lot of skill in that goal

[luhibaseball]

a lot of good goals..but man does brad davis have a wicked left foot

[christianrapper17]

yes that strike from davis against RSL was pure and sweet. I remember being at that game, the crowd went crazy after he scored

[soccerbros16]

montero 28

claudio lopez 60 yard shot or

jankauskas

[black84]

montero's week 28 goal is dope, but no one cares about it because it happened in new england on those awful lines

[terrordactyI]

Montero week 28

or Findley week 32 (because it was clutch)

[deathkid20]

all were great can't vote

[Am3rIca16]

brian ching was good

[patronpatron]

Lopez egyértelműen. :)

[ClassicRockMitch]

O BRIAN WHITE

[BetterThanYuh]

O'Brian Whites goal had the nicest all around football, but Freddy Montero's week 28 was crazy.

[gangstafre7]

week 2 fredy montero clint mathis week 6 arturo alvarez week 11 eskandarian week 18 claudio lopez week 19 landon donovan week 21 jankauskas week 26 brad davis week 27 montero week 28 were all god but the best was montero week 28

[grtlivinglegend]

most of these goals are trash! i would say landon donovan's goal vs new england revolution is the goal of the year!

[ejyounggun08]

wow. way to be biased. dickface.

[ritz135]

i agree except to say that Brian McBride's goal against SJ in week 4 was better.

[soccerprog226]

That's a tough call. I'd have to say either Claudio Lopez's 50+ yard shot or Fredy Montero's long shot against the Revs.

[deomartinez77]

so hard to pick just one

[DjDVofficial]

Fredy Montero :)

[1xClementinex1]

"IT'S INNN THE NET, IT'S IN THE NET!"

"YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEA­AAAH!"

Too many of them were good for me to judge.

[BlackTailTV]

first! yeaa
