FIFA Puskas Award 2009- Top ten goals of the year

[Maraujo04]

Grafite's is just class

[clx888]

LUIS ANGEL LANDIN's goal is the best

[TobiFan12345]

iniesta's goal wouldn't benn number 2 if it wasnt in the semi finals, those cheating bastards

[alexandre10244]

/watch?v=Nh3BPrNfqPs

[thamidwestmob]

Ronaldo's goal was voted number 1, Iniesta's 2, and Grafite's 3...those were the official standings

[MachoCal]

LOL @0:36 why did Atar's teammate take off Atar's shirt ?? would he get booked for taking his shirt off or would his team mate get booked for taking someone elses shirt off ? I just think its weird and now i want to know what would happen lmao

[fabytruth11]

RONALDO'S GOAL WAS THE BEST

[Arturdinho1]

torres ??/ pojebało cie

[PelleBM]

Torres goal as the number one? it shouldn`t even have been in the list!

[swampymonkey88]

grafite

[Mr7md4]

best goal should go for nilmar

[jpjpd]

sensational grafite

[sinojtjej]

Iniesta should've won. Most important goal ever

[OlofDreijer]

@sinojtjej "Most important goal ever" That's not really true, is it? What makes it more important than any other (winning) semi-final goal?

[sinojtjej]

@OlofDreijer becuase they won the champions league. also it is not the most important EVER, maradona's hand of God was more important to argentina for example. but iniestas goal was the most important goal in the cup

[OlofDreijer]

@sinojtjej Er, so not the most important goal ever then... also, surely Eto'o's or Messi's would already be more important of that tournament since it was the final. Since winning a final is more important than simply getting to one.

[sinojtjej]

@OlofDreijer hur kan messis mål vara viktigare än iniestas när iniestas mål gjorde så att dem gick vidare TILL final. dem hade inte ens kunnat spela finalen om det inte var för iniesta.

[remfuck]

grafite is AMAZING...

[funct1on]

alter alter alter, verhurte deutsche kommentatoren...bei dem grafite-tor...

so ein hammer-teil und dann kommt " das kan doch, das kann doch nicht wahr sein" -.-

[1ForZa9]

C RONALDO

AMAZING

[ronaldomessi9]

C RONALDO is the ultimate FOOOTBALLER..!! & HIS goal should be no. 1

[alecr17]

@ronaldomessi9 his goal WAS voted number 1, this is out of order. it was a stunning strike indeed. i also liked essiens and nilmar's, beautiful.

[ronaldomessi9]

@alecr17 yeah essien's goal was awesome & on that season, he was in his best.

[Otromen21]

i miss that torres on YNWA...

[alexandercarlos12]

isn´t his name Neymar: D ??? I think so^^

[wellogs94]

@alexandercarlos12 neymar and nilmar are two different players

[Mynamesnigel]

@alexandercarlos12 are u fuckin retarded?! thats nilmar you plank

[theBosniianStar]

@alexandercarlos12

u r an idiot -.-

[dspecaa]

i´m a fan of cristiano ronaldo and it was a pretty perfect shot but the best goal was from nilmar!

[rlak96]

3:30 "What the fuck just happened?"

[ObsessedFanGirls]

Football--inspiration to learn many different languages lol.

I've gotta admit, though, it was the Spanish-speaking commentator at 3:22 that got me the most hyped up and uber excited for that goal by Landin.

[SEPArius5]

NILMAR of corse the best

[FUT11UltimateTeam]

FREE ULTIMATE TEAM PLAYERS AND COINS

FIFA11 ACTUALLY WORKS

/watch?v=D66pvUTRU5s

[hamooza001]

This Is The Real TOP 3 :

1 : Cristiano Ronaldo (ManU Vs Porto) 1/4 Chapions League

2 : Andrés Iniesta (FCB Vs Chelsea) 1/2 Champions League

3 : Grafite (VfL Wolfsburg Vs Bayern) Bundesliga

[Rakven]

jesus... total lack of emotion from the german commentator, this goal deserves a better one

[KingOfKingsDonM]

my chanell=best goal fifa forever

[DjCjAm1]

goal of year 2011 wayne rooney, nuff said

[DeLueXe1]

The Free Kick of Mphela is absolutely amazing

[zo125]

eliran atar has the best gall 

[penguin492]

is iniesta's not due to a scuffed clearance by chelsea?

[PedroSimoesBR]

GRAFITE

[Tushar2497leo]

eliran atar .........superb goal !!!!!!!!

[riccarddoo]

LASTIMA DE GOL, YA QUE ES NEGRO!

[evandrovids]

Imagine if Grafite or Nilmar had scored those goals for huge clubs...

They would get sports brands lifetime endorsements and statues of them would be built all over europe. Ronaldo's goal was awesome but it's not even close to the top goal on this list.

[FTorres4Evr]

@evandrovids I agree the Nilmar and Grafite goals are the best 2 on the list.

[kape1993]

QUE GOLASO DE GRAFITE !!!!

[derInternetAffe]

Graphite was the best!

[Oo9ale7oO]

WTF ?! 4:30 that was the best

[ronnymufc]

ronaldo's surely?

[berlinrelic]

grafite

[annoyeveryone]

spaniards speak fast!

GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAAAA­AAAAAAL

[TheAsianPredator]

English commentator: Ronaldos a long way out... what a goal by ronaldo!

Foreign commenetator: GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO­AAAAAAAAAL!!!!!!!! *faints*

[BenNBenInc]

My favourite goal was the one that was scored

[lildutchy]

best bicycle kick is still the goal from van basten !

[pollordubai]

@lildutchy Trevor Sinclairs for me.

[lildutchy]

@pollordubai also very nice :)

[andygarside99]

torres' goal was simply amazing

[Ubikzz]

what is special about iniestas goal?

[ronnymufc]

@Ubikzz the winner in the last minute to beat chelsea in the semi finals (i think) of champions league.

[Wally08LFC]

Fuck off! Ronaldos goal got it? Daniel Aggers 2 amazing goals were better and he's never been a nominee!! Like Ronaldo that was a joke..

[forkemak1]

Criteria

-It should be a beautiful goal

-The importance of the match should be taken into account

-The goal should not be the result of luck or mistakes by the other team.

-The goal should support fair play

source:wikipedia

[chafe11]

@forkemak1 you need a better source.

[Cds1707]

Personally I dont see how Ronaldo's goal can be called lucky. He intentionaly hit the ball from a huge distance and managed to hit the side netting! That takes serious power and accuracy and is worthy of the award.

[Memo1234385]

nilmar

[roopinda]

its frustrating looking at all these comments made by people who know nothing about the game

"ronaldo's goal was lucky"

ok, so ronaldo accidently swung his foot at the ball, and it accidently went in from 39 yards out?

"essien's goal was just long range, you see those all the time"

trust me when i say this, but essien's goal (technique wise) is worthy of being compared to zidane's vollet against leverkusen, it was voted as the 5th best champions league goal ever for a reason you know...

[simplygaffney1]

FIFA do bumlick Ronaldo ...

[VfLFan1011]

Luis Angel Landin is the best !

[MARZMUFC]

RONALDO!

[JamesSaw89]

Nilmar's goal was the best ....

[alexan1107]

Where the fack is zlatan??

[Bowyy1]

1 word : Grafite

[thierry2pac]

@Bowyy1 1 word, no

[shanebehemoth]

ronaldo's was the best 

[shahar4758]

heres my opinion 1. eliran atar 2. michael essien 3. nilmar 4. luis angel landin 5. ronaldo 6. adebayor 7. torres 8. iniesta 9. grafite 10. mphela

[Kende99]

Bugger!Essien!

[TonyMontanas]

Lol, I remember this. Such a joke of a list. Ibrahimovic had like 4-5 goals in 2009 that were better than most on this list.

[martijntjuh191]

@TonyMontanas but were those in cl final or something? no. just in the league.

[OverOpiate]

nilmar's goal was awesome. I am not a big fan of flukes where you just hit from distance or do a bicycle kick and hope it goes it. I like goals that are well crafted.

why is Iniesta even in this list? his goal is the most ordinary of the lot.

[jakxcombat]

Torres!!!!!

[Deathspiderman]

Best goal was from Luis Angel Landin

[chorley250894]

@catherynschenk how can you believe in that bullshit

[hellomotobleh]

I HATE INIESTA GODDAMIT

[CardingtonLZF]

Essien, Nilmar, Grafite, and Torres had the most beautiful goals..

[Clyde123Frog]

Christ andy gray is a bit arrogant isnt he? "This is what im capable of".... haha

[eddman76O]

#1 Essein #2 Nilmar #3 Landin #4 Torres #5 Adebayor #6 Grafite #7 Atar #8 Mphela #9 Ronaldo #10 Iniesta thats how it sould've been. but a lot of guys are goin gay over cr9, and a lot of women who know nothing about football decided to vote for his goal. cristiano ronaldo is the justin bieber of football...enough said.

[JamesSaw89]

@eddman76O nicely said ...

[Tibor1357]

You have beautiful videos from the best sport !

I like every goals-skills and tricks!

[latsiomichael]

the only reason why ronaldo got it was b/c he was hot that year. its a missile but greater display of skill was shown in other goals. since its people voting for it, like i just did on fifa.com, it all comes done to who has the most fans.

[VilipxProductions]

2:24 szpaku:))

[joshwakeman]

the torres goal was world class, back to goal and the ball moving away from him, sweet

[redlegua]

the best goals grafiti and nilmar

[pinciya]

GRA-FI-TE

[santidude25]

DA DEST INIESTA DA DEST BARCA XDDD

[zappydudes]

@whatever your name is

Best goal is not most important goal

[dontbecutk]

Can't pick. They're all brilliant.

[meowkid47]

messi was no-way near the top 10 but iniesta is, whos the better player?

[Virtualnoaidi]

Goals by Essien, Ronaldo and Iniesta are of course top class, but Top 10 of the year? I think FIFA puts too much weight on the importance of the match. Grafite's humiliating dribble/backheel or the flying backheel at near post (was it Argentinian league or sth? missed that) were way more marvelous. Long-range shots are neat but isn't it a bit like when you've seen one, you've seen them all?

[jlv02]

grafitti goal >>>>>>>>> ALL

[chesterinoaussie]

I've seen players do bicycle kicks, just-outside-the-box volleys and individual goals- that's why I think Ronaldo's is best. Or maybe even Mphela's free kick. The amount of accuracy needed to place the ball properly with an amount of power enough to beat the keeper is almost impossible to obtain. I also admire Torres' effort at the end because of its awkward angle. My pick is a choice between those three. The rest just aren't "as" special to me.

[EpicDJC]

mattie burrows for glentoran this year is good a back flick from edge of box

[ForestForever]

Iniesta's goal is something that happens every week in any league. It doesn't matter what the event is, we're talking about the quality of the goal, not what the goal achieves in a game.

Corruption is how you obtain power, and corruption is how you maintain power.

[tashtalas]

Just listen to the commentators...the reaction to cristiano's goal wasn't a big deal. I hate that pussy!

[JRFP8]

look for Cristian Rodriguez's goal against CD Nacional ... it deserves to be here

[berlinrelic]

grafite

[GamerCall]

nilmars goal was the best

[dheerajronaldo]

ronalds goal was the best , 2nd was grapites

[07debieuxc]

how can inesta be above essiens???? and 2 of the goals of the year in the same game :L

[ateszgo]

Puskás was the best:)

[ruletin88]

ill say torres goal dat shoting takes skill

[MaxPaget]

Eliran Atar ftw!

[M0rPh3uSiEnE]

Nilmar .. And Grafite .

[ConradMcBad]

Nilmar, surely. He got fouled about 3 times on his run to goal.

[Jamesinho67]

I reckon Ronaldo won because his goal was most like a typical puskas goal. They're all good goals but I liked the Nilmar and Atar goals.

[HUNlac]

Puskás Ferenc was the BEST!

[IRevelationz]

These are all amazing except for Torres and Iniestas, Torres was a pretty average volley and Iniestas was just a normal goal pretty much... Instead of having Torres's goal they should maybe have had Drogbas chip against Hull from the sideline.

The rest of the goals were amazing though

[StillInvalid]

If you get scored on, wouldn't you prefer it to be epic?

[janitopsycho]

ronaldo goal won anyway...

[GamwKaiDernw]

@janitopsycho ffs ronaldo's goal was just a long distance shot...u see 20 of those each year even from defenders. you could make an argument about the defence in the nilmar goal as in others but essien and torres goals were 10 times better. also when u watch a goal u should see its importance... a goal that takes you to the cl final (like iniesta's) is a lot better than the 5th goal in a 5-1 win (grafite's). concluding imo essien's goal was the best

[janitopsycho]

@GamwKaiDernw sure.. u see goals from 40 yards from defenders every day man , dont be pathetic.

[GamwKaiDernw]

@janitopsycho just look at the last europa league matchday you will see more than 5 goals 40+yards away, and about 5 more 30-40 yards so its not a big deal

[88sinduja]

@GamwKaiDernw You got it all wrong mate. Ronaldo's goal was a phenomenal strike - just try hitting a shot like that from that distance, with that swerve. Some more, Ronaldo's hit that in a high-pressure match where Man Utd had to win to progress and where he was playing a lone striker role - something he isn't accustomed to.

The goal is class, few players in the world can do that. Look at Seedorf's goal for RM (was it?) as well. Class again,

[GamwKaiDernw]

@88sinduja ronaldo's goal was a great strike, all im saying though is that essiens was better on all accounts:match importance, a great acrobatic shot with the keeper in full readiness and defenders marking him. ronaldo basicly had full balance, no defender close enough to him and the keeper was surprised. you dont need class to make strikes like those, you see crappy players like alex, belletti or zhirkov making shots like those.

ps seedorf is a great player, the goal was a massive gk error

[Cds1707]

@GamwKaiDernw Ask ANY player in the world, past, present or future to hit a shot like Ronaldo done. No one will ever repeat such a clean strike as he did. 40 yards.. thats not your every day long distance shot as you've made it out to be.

And its best GOAL, not most important goal.

[GamwKaiDernw]

@Cds1707 'best goal' is by definition an important one, or else you would see goals scored in minor leagues, friendy matches or even training. as for the strike i agree with you its not an every day long distance shot but you do see a lot of those per season. concluding the strike was mostly luck cause ronaldo has never scored a similar long distance goal (not talking about fks)

[Giantsfano08]

@GamwKaiDernw where does it say the best goal is the most important goal, and in the 2010 world cup, iniestas goal was the most important, but was it the best goal..... exactly

[joehorse69]

@GamwKaiDernw With regards to this point..... Who is one of the favourites to win this years award??... Matty Burrows from Glentoran, I'm pretty sure that Glentoran play in a 'Minor league.'

You're just making shit up mate.

[Giantsfano08]

@Cds1707 where does it say the best goal is the most important goal and if you saw the 2010 world id say iniestas goal in the final was the most important, but did it get the best goal of the world cup........exactly

[gaddar7]

@GamwKaiDernw wat u talking about its best goal of the year nt most important goal of the year.. iniesta's goal shouldnt even be there..

[gaddar7]

@GamwKaiDernw also cristiano ronaldo's goal isnt just becasue of the distance but the power was too beast..

[joehorse69]

@GamwKaiDernw  I think scoring the winning goal (away from home) in a 3-2 aggregate win over Porto to get Man Utd to the semi finals of the champions league is somewhat important don't you?

[FreddieCook007]

@GamwKaiDernw So by your reckoning Solskjaers goal against Bayern is one of the best goals ever scored?

[GamwKaiDernw]

@FreddieCook007 it was an important goal yes. the best goals i've seen are maradona's solo vs england,van basten's volley vs the ussr and zidane's volley vs leverkusen

[mutillidie]

@GamwKaiDernw 'Just a long distance shot' Hmm ok, it's incredibly easy to get that power and movement on a ball from that distance is it? :S And it was an important goal, guaranteed utd's place in the next round and was the only goal in the game.

[HokkaidoTruant]

@GamwKaiDernw Although I agree that on balance Essien's is better than Ronaldo's (IMHO), I can't believe how dismissive of Ronaldo's goal you've been. That wasn't just "a long distance shot," that was from a distance in which players shouldn't even be thinking of shooting, let alone scoring. The power he got from that was unreal, especially since the ball was on the floor and quite frankly, it was still rising by the time it hit the net. Torres was my fav by the way, but it wasn't 10x better.

[paulol22]

@GamwKaiDernw I reckon you support Chelsea is that it??

[GamwKaiDernw]

@paulol22 arsenal...i just think essien's goal was the best to be scored that year for the reasons i explained

[AFGknight]

@MustBeMagick You are obviously new to football....no one has ever scored a goal like that before? Seedorf disagrees.

watch?v=bvApehU65Lw

Ronaldos goal is clearly nothing compared to that

[AFGknight]

@MustBeMagick No you fucking fool don't change what you said. You said it was the most powerful and precise shot. Firstly, Seedorfs goal was wayyyy more powerful and you must be a dumbfuck if you gonna deny that. Secondly, Seedorf taking the shot at a much farther distance than Ronaldo makes his shot more precise as well. That goal was nothing compared to Seedorfs, wank ronaldos dick more

[AFGknight]

@MustBeMagick lol "jumped at the right time". Any goal can be saved like this you stupid fuck. You obviously know nothing of football and you must lack common sense or have a huge Ronaldo cock seeping in your mouth if you think his shot went "faster" than Seedorfs ROFL. Seedorfs was much much more powerful, get educated, get some common sense, get glasses and then watch both videos and compared you are obviously some disabled fuck

[HollStar159]

@GamwKaiDernw Iniesta deserve ? Ahaha ? His team cheated against Chelsea, she didn't deserve to go in the final. And the Ronaldo goal is a lot better cause he shot it from a very long distance with an unbiliveable power and an impossible angle

[GamwKaiDernw]

@HollStar159 he didn't shoot from an angle... he was almost in front of the goal and the speed was around 100km/hr (not too powerful actually). it was from a long range, not enough though to vote it goal of the year

[martijntjuh191]

@HollStar159 dude with that special goal they made it to the final. come on. an upper 90 with a curve from 20 meters is special. ronaldo made that goal against porto. they won with how many? 5-0? 4-0?

and it wasnt that hard. look at seedorfs goals. then you see what hard is.

[JamesSaw89]

@HollStar159 you haven't watched football have you ... search the LINUS HALLENIUS goal ... that is power ... that is impossible angle ... ronaldo's goal is lucky ...

[roopinda]

@JamesSaw89 how was ronaldos goal lucky? =S

[Bjobbie]

@GamwKaiDernw It's not about the importance of the goal! It's about the beauty!

[SouthyMandem]

@Bjobbie - Totally 100% agreed, some people are dumb =]

[SouthyMandem]

@GamwKaiDernw - I would have to disagree with that, because we're looking at the most beautiful goal, not the most important, that means an only penalty in a final of the world cup would be better than a beautiful goal such as Grafite or Adebayor?

We're looking at the beauty, not on what stage or against who... That's what Puskas award is.

[Chillerone11]

@SouthyMandem yeah i think to its just the goal not the importance of a goal...ok if there are two same goals one in friendly match one in cl final the cl final goal would be better but not even a fucking goal which u can see every day in a league only cause its ion cl final that would be unfair

[flix96]

@SouthyMandem If you look at the criteria that the award is judged on, it does in fact take into account the importance of the match, along with other things such as beauty (obviously). That said, I only checked this on wikipedia so make of it what you will.

And for those of you keeping score, my vote would have gone to Ronaldo's goal, which won anyway.

[xWaLxP3rFecT]

@GamwKaiDernw Link please to 1 goal from the same distance as ronaldo's... dont think there is a previous one in the CL like his.

[Marasca2]

@xWaLxP3rFecT watch this and then shut your mouth

/watch?v=poPo3YjwIfc

[commentfightsplease]

@xWaLxP3rFecT Hugo Almeida had a free kick from about that range, but that is a deadball goal.

[Syetactic]

@xWaLxP3rFecT Well Diego Souza did a longer distance in the BC same year.

[Looorney]

@xWaLxP3rFecT Here you go son. /watch?v=kGQ6speL4Ww

[zidane410]

@xWaLxP3rFecT look up some Steven Gerrard stuff man...

[RellimDe08]

@GamwKaiDernw i remember watching that Chelsea match. Going nuts after us scoring in the first 5 mins.

[Pierrotechnique]

@GamwKaiDernw essien's was also just another long shot that went top corner instead of 20 yards wide... i admit it takes skill to place a volley like that but it's not ridiculously technically brilliant, just very impressive.

[dsquaredmlg]

@GamwKaiDernw hahah another torres fanboy. his goal was pretty average. if anyone else scored that it would not get a mention in the top 100 goals of the year. easily the worst goal in this video but whiny bitches like you who want his dick in your mouth pretend its amazing

[janitopsycho]

and btw.. grafite the best? rotfl, that would be a nice goal if the other team defense was any good.. rotfl, and ive seen a lot of goals like that.. but like torres, essien and especially ronaldo from 40 yards i dont see every day, way more difficult to score then that goal..

[nabil0901]

@janitopsycho James Milner scored a 40 yard top corner last season....even better

[Brotkante1]

@janitopsycho rofl fc bayern has a bad defense? :D:D

[kkk17able]

@Brotkante1

well van buyten and demichelis are not the best defenders in europa

[i4LOVE4Pie4]

@janitopsycho hmm "the other team" you refer to i s FC Bayern Munich they are one of the best teams in europe.

[HollStar159]

@i4LOVE4Pie4 Bayern is the best team in Europe, sure ! That's why they are not far to be the worst team of bundesligua.

[blancomac11]

@i4LOVE4Pie4 bayern?are you serious?

[IRevelationz]

@janitopsycho You do notice that he dribbles around 4 players including a keeper and then backheels then ball into the goal right?

And the team he is versing has one of the best defenses in the world...

Plus Torres goal was average, not that great...

[janitopsycho]

@IRevelationz bayern defense is crashed.. want examples ? go see the final CL goal of milito..

[jcdfbdus]

@IRevelationz I agree with you in he dribbling ability and truly a beautiful finesse finish. But I think Torres' goal was on the higher end than just average because he doesn't take a look at goal. He accepts the ball knowing exactly where he was on the pitch and lofts it into the side netting. This coming from a Chelsea supporter.

[theMud6]

iniesta gol not so special like others

[A1r93]

omg im a barca fan and i was watching that semi final between barca and chelsea and when essien scored i was like holy shit. 2 mins into ET my dad wanted to turn the game off 'barca's lost' and the HOLY SHIT INEISTA SCOREDDDDDD!!!!!!! the barca team went ballistic

[janitopsycho]

@A1r93 well im not a supporter of both teams and if u really watched the game you should also know the disgrace in terms of refeere that happen in that game.. I will never forget that, i imagine chelsea suppoters, they even could give the CL trophy to barça in that semi final and ppl wouldnt be more shocked, that game was the proof that there is still people pulling strings before the game.. No referee at that level would make so many errors.. that game had to be won by barça and that was it.

[itoalexandre]

Grafite for sure!!! Iniesta shouldnt b there.

[mi5a007]

جرفيتي بتتلبس علي البدله اه ده اذا كان عجبكم يا ولاد المتناكه

[mikelinjo]

heh, i saw torres, c. ronaldo, iniesta gols live :D
