Goal of the Year Nominees

[QuatariansOfJupiter]

most of the goals were from the sounders :)

[soccerdudejoe]

I like how the goal that actually won goal of the year isn't in this video. Plus where the heck is Erik Hassli's goal. This is bias towards seattle

[s0merand0mdude95]

@soccerdudejoe Wrong year bud.

[Maaatt004]

"Hit that with no regard for humanity" i wish british commentary was that enthusiastic

[GingerBreadManOllie]

Oh yeah, one more thing. Our goalkeepers are amazing. Look at Joe Hart, as far as I can tell, he has the best reflexes in the world.

[GingerBreadManOllie]

No Eric Hassli ? :( btw guys please don't hate me for this I'm from the uk and tbh the defence in the MLS is so weak, it's crazy. I enjoy watching MLS because it's so loose at the back that anything can happen! Some of the goals are lovely, like junihno(who don't get me wrong, is a good player) but in the BPL you wouldn't have enough time on the ball to prepare yourself to hit it like he does. To score a goal in the BPL is good. To score a stunning goal in the BPL is...incredible. Check out Bal

[jaffajeffery]

Wheres Beckham?



[xThrillChaacopx]

Moffat? Two unbelievable strikes and neither make it? Fuck Seattle

[Doctors2Advocate]

Put aside your blind hatred of the United States and acknowledge that there are some fantastic goals in this video.

[MultiPralad]

i hate mls

[JWolfe993]

@MultiPralad and you just wasted your time by clicking on the video to watch and comment on it, what does that say about your life?

[Meech0w]

@MultiPralad i hate you

[iamheadbanger]

Great goals! Greetings from Croatia. I like to watch MLS as often I can :)

[daubo3]

the Sounders were dominated in that video...im so proud...

Go Sounders !!!!! and ppl, dont be a hater because your team sucks

[wiz4rdf1sh0123]

@daubo3 ok the last goals were not GOTWs and I hate and my team is good! RSL all the way!

[RICH08XX]

@wiz4rdf1sh0123 The last one was but before that they wern't

[cucaw12]

@daubo3 yep, like you said, sounders were dominated.

go back to elementary, you're obvious trailer trash. sounders is one of the worst teams in mls history

[TheOscar401]

@TheBROWNMagic00 this video shows last season's goals

[TheBROWNMagic00]

ERIC HASSLI"S GOAL SHOULD BE IN HERE!!!!!!!

[Looorney]

@TheBROWNMagic00 You mean the one against the Sounders? The one from 2011? I'll leave you to think about that entire train of reasoning.

[rockslideproductions]

I'm kinda disappointed that Marco Pappa's goal won. Richard's in 22 should have won.

[jahedur123456]

3:59 Omar Cummings lol

[shaftshaft]

Its funny that with all of my cities stuffing of the ballot the best Seattle goal for 2010 was left off the list.

[themls2010]

Logan Pause, Rafa Marquez, Lovel Palmer were all pretty badass

[UnratedVerzion]

Marco Pappa's left footed power shot was the best for Chicago Fire

[TheFlapjack444]

it was all eattle and real salt lake

[NatsCapsSkinsWiz]

Some great goals but I think Palmer's was the best in week 4

[inferi321]

he said juninho like 4 times

[SNAKEpphair]

Pfft this has got nothing on the airtricity league of ireland.

Best league in the world

/end sarcasm

[class180matt]

Good Goals, but most of them are just long shots or Seattle Goals . But i do like Fredy Montero Free Kick

[SuperXxxadrianxxx]

its all seattle

[winter395]

@MashHanny 2:16 "he hit that with no regard for humanity!"

that's not a basketball term, you're an idiot.

what the hell would the basketball term be? "regard"? "humanity"? "no"? because if not, then it's "for."

You fucking british pussies will try to think up anything to insult the mls.

Well guess what? Americans don't bring up gay porn, tea, or bad teeth when we talk about the british, because we're mature enough to admit you're good at football. Fucking bitch.

[MCAMVP]

wtf

all these spectacular cannonballs ;D

the european league players ought to let off some volley shots

[rockslideproductions]

Watching Juninho's goal (Week 14), I realized that's exactly what he did against the Sounders again on Mar. 15, 2011.

[lobinho2468]

Com' on some of these goals were pretty amazing. Stop criticizing the MLS.. why WOULD they be as good as the Premier league. The Premier league gets all of MLS's best players. Some of these goals were based on quality AND importance. The MLS is a great league, and getting better, so stop trying to slow it down!

[halnone]

These are some great goals

[markslurpee]

i saw all the red bulls games they showed live :D

[JonnySSSniper]

This video just helped to show me the massive drop in quality of football MLS soccer has on the English Premier League.

At most, 3 maybe 4 of these goals would have made it in our goal of the season competition

[nike2376]

@JonnySSSniper Your an idiot, these are the goal of the week winners from the year and many of these were only the goals of the week because of their importance, not their quality. Also, if you're judging leagues by the quality of their play you should be watching games not "Goals of the Week."

[JonnySSSniper]

@nike2376 *You're

And thats a bit of a shitty comeback...'its because of importance not their quality'

Important goals aren't always amazing goals...Thats why you have an end of the year competition to judge the BEST goals of the year...not the most important

fool.

And why would I watch games when I could watch fixtures from the Second tier in the English league which is still of a much higher class?

[nike2376]

@JonnySSSniper Do you really think that the Championship is a much higher class than MLS? Gary Smith who is the coach of Colorado and English said MLS is higher quality than the championship, he isn't biased.

[JonnySSSniper]

@nike2376 Fraid so

You have terry dunfield and john rooney in MLS, 2 players that arent good enough to play for macclesfield town of League two (The fourth tier of english footy)

[nike2376]

@JonnySSSniper The Red Bulls were missing 5 players due to playing in the Gold Cup and John Rooney would still sometimes not make the 18. Vancouver Whitecaps (maybe the worst team in MLS) currently have 2 healthy central midfielders, Terry Dunfield is one of them, so he plays. He also scored against Ecuador for Canada, he's obviously improved from making the move away from England.

[Sami95Sami]

juninho great goal

[kgsv3449]

Shea Salinas's goal was awesome!

[tyguywow]

juninho. juninho. juninho, oh juninho!

[key81733]

wow. the commentator of the wizards is SOOO FRICKIN EXCITING.

[vFCZv]

nice

[mosorire]

Great goals from a league were shooting at goal seems to be very common. As a German living in England, am impressed by the way players in MLS shoot accurately towards goal especially with great speed that could beat most keepers in any part of the world.

[maxamillon11]

the sounders are awsome you retarded cool haters,

f you

[hellchild5]

LOL at all the Sounders haters on here. Pathetic.

[maxamillon11]

@hellchild5 shut up retard

[hellchild5]

@maxamillon11 Damn how long did it take you to think up that quality insult?

[JazonX101]

yeah.. sounders kill.

[ColieOliePolie]

no tfc goals? what about de ro's game winning free kick in extra time against houston?

[laroca626]

#17!

[TheGuntha]

There would have been more Sounders goals but they never scored in any of the other weeks...

[soccer4messi]

#14

#9

#17

#22

[Herb615]

Hard to chose

[trwfilmsinc]

This list is bias towards the Sounders. The last four weeks of Goal of the Week's weren't GOTW worthy.

[Herb615]

@trwfilmsinc

Agreed

the Sounders are over rated!!

blame the fans!!

[haloemergency]

@trwfilmsinc

Dumbass thats cause the sounders kick fucking ass

GO SEATTLE!!!

[MsNeilD]

@trwfilmsinc Yea um... we botted

[NorthwestCoasters17]

@trwfilmsinc Zakuani through ball past the defence and around the keeper,

Fernandez dribbles through the defence and taps it past the keeper,

Zakuani muscles past 4 defenders and a goalie and scores,

Riley with a monster blast past the houston keeper.

All 4 of those goals were very worthy of GOTW.

[mwandmw]

@trwfilmsinc the sounders have the best fans in the mls

[thebigcheesymac]

@trwfilmsinc ok so a one touch shot upper corner is not worthy or a shot with a tight angle in traffic inst worthy either. Or did you see the other goals in those last 4 weeks? No. I think your just jealous that the sounders have fans and your team doesn't.

[FrivolousFlibble]

@trwfilmsinc The last four? Zakuani controlled through the heart of four defenders and around the keeper to roll it home and Riley powered a shot into the corner. Those weren't even GOTW worthy?

[ThisIsJayred]

@trwfilmsinc Its not bias, GOTW is voted on by us

[topnew11]

@trwfilmsinc Are you kidding me? Did you see Zakuani dice up Chivas's entire defense and then their keeper? Did you see him easily beat Stephen Frei? And James Riley 20 yards out....upper 90? Open you eyes

[usuck87]

i change my mind the one were zakauani take son the whole chivas defence was by far the best!

[usuck87]

MONTERO! MONTERO! MONTERO! tha last one vs dynamo was the best goal!

[6afraidof7hellno]

number 7 holy shit

[rockslideproductions]

So many Sounders! I love it.

[usuck87]

@rockslideproductions i know me 2!!!! : ) go sounders!

[Herb615]

@rockslideproductions

Sounders are garbage!!!

[rockslideproductions]

@Herb615 nope. sorry. bee tee dubs, how did Toronto do this year? yeah.

[Herb615]

@rockslideproductions

at least tfc don't need to suck up to MLS!!!

[rockslideproductions]

@Herb615 by bringing in twice as much money as any other team?

[Herb615]

@rockslideproductions

lol you just sound like a briber!!!!

Sounders bribed MLS

[rockslideproductions]

@Herb615 So your theory here is that the Seattle Sounders paid the MLS to feature them in goals of the week? You think they said, here, fudge the results on a competition which yields no rewards to us and we'll pay you for it?

[hellchild5]

@Herb615 At least the Sounders dont suck in general..

[MrGermaican1]

My vote goes to Marco Pappa

[supermar91]

big pappa

[xshawnyxboyx]

how embarrassing for the mls goal of the week system. they have a system so easy to hack that seattle has 6 of the last 7 goals of the week. people trying to defend the disproportionate amount of seattle goals by saying you have more fans capable of voting are delusional or just ignorant. you have hackers destroying the goal of the week process.

[rogerbanango]

@xshawnyxboyx But all teams have the same opportunity to "hack" the process, so the team with the most fans (Seattle) would still do the best at it. I agree the process sucks, but at the same time it doesn't have any real impact on league points or standings. So it means more to fans than it does to the league.

[xshawnyxboyx]

@rogerbanango no, the team that has a few fans who care way too much about making their team look better than they actually are will do best at hacking the system. And it doesn't mean anything to the fans when their votes for the best goal of the week don't even matter. Look at Week 27 alone. 3 world class goals (Becks, Buddle, LeToux) and a difficult half volley from McInerney yet Zakuanis routine goal wins?! C'mon. what a joke

[rockslideproductions]

@xshawnyxboyx I'm pretty sure it was Marco Pappa who won Goal of the Year, so that's not really accurate....

[goglavingreen3]

I vote for Juninho simply because having the name Juninho makes you amazing. In fact, I may have to change my name to end in Inho

[PatoWiNNERS]

beautiful goals in the american ligue !

Bonne chance from France !

[JamesChristian724]

Shea Salinas, Juninho, or Pappa.

[patriotachapin]

MARCO PAPPA, CHICAGO FIRE, HE MADE THE GAOL AF THE YEAR

[thebigcheesymac]

guys why would you calls Seattle goals mediocre, there deffenentlly not name 2 Seattle goals that were besides the ones where zak dribbled around the goalkeeper.

we just have dedicated fans, are you jealous. probably. were a good team. and @alpenglowRG11 not just twice as much we have 37,000 fans on average then were gonna open 5000 more nxt season :)

[haloMaiiFranchise]

Juninho no doubt

[ChampCarforlife]

I might get my butt kicked for saying this by I prefer the MLS over the EPL because any team can win the MLS cup.

[studmaster34]

the sounders are the team taking mls to the next level, to world relevance.

[ChampCarforlife]

@studmaster34

Well said! Seattle has the best soccer fans in North America.

[alpenglowRG11]

haters gona hate. seattle has so many because just like twice as many people go to their matches compared to others in the mls, twice as many vote for the goal of the week. so statistically its not that odd that they're so many seattle goals. twats.

[mfwe22]

speaking of SHYTE goals: Most of Zakuani's goals should be up for WORST DEFENDING of the year NOT GOAL of the year.

[ronaldinho606]

Ferreira, Marquez, or Leo Gonzalez.

[themls2010]

Logan Pause or Rafa Marquez

[LittleCD]

Juninho!!! 2:08

[soccersoxfan3]

i was at the game at 0:24

[themls2010]

@soccersoxfan3 i was at the game at 0:34

[soccersoxfan3]

@themls2010 nice

[soccersoxfan3]

@soccersoxfan3 and pappa did his backflip right in front of my section

[themls2010]

@soccersoxfan3 but you were still at the game that had a goal that on goal of the year!

[AliYaacoobi]

rafa marquez

[Keegalo]

leo gonzalez. it was amazing.

[superloloboy]

el de Leo Gonzales, tremendo gol junto con el que le sigue en el video de Kamara

[patriotachapin]

MARCO PAPA, HE IS THE BEST.

[Sternathan]

1:42 Holy crap!

[Sternathan]

LEO GONZALEZ! WEEK 11!!! What a shot!!! The defender buries it with the outside of his left boot! G O A L O F T H E Y E A R ! ! !

[gutiavila]

MONTERO MONTERO

[gchevalier11]

Juninho!

[soccergurl789]

JAVIER MORALES!!!!! oh yea man xD

[trix1117]

all the seattle goals were exactly the same at the end.

[michaeltherunner]

Can you all please read the description before complaining that there are too many Seattle goals.. its a compilation of the WINNERS from EACH WEEK. It just so happens that Seattle had won quite a few of those weekly contests.

[DBrownofdc]

not a single dc united goal!? bull shit! at least one andy najar goal should be in

[americanzero582]

too bad you can see half the shit cuz the text bar covers a third of the screen

[1fugexlac]

seattle fans have bots that do the voting for them, that's why you see so many mediocre seattle goals on the list

[sazzthug99]

to many seatle goals

[Sternathan]

@sazzthug99 Haha!

[bouknight91]

gosh thats tough

[Luch1516]

Sooo many nice goals, how do you choose just 1?

[iamthewanganator]

rafa

[Jkropolis]

week 21

[YtubeAddict54]

Week 15!!

[ssmith014]

so many nominees for seattle, yet the galaxy knock them out of the playoffs :)

[soccerrocker9999]

Wondo!!!

[seby408]

The sounders dominated

[gautam0826]

YEAH WONDO!!!

[stevep3788]

um omar cummings?

[dcunitedfan4ever]

Week 11 from Leo Gonzalez was my favorite

[PumpkinAddiction]

Weeks 10 (Salinas), 15 (Ferreira), 21 (Marquez), 25 (Nkufo) have to be the top here.

Everything else seemed to be more luck than technique and right place/right time than good teamwork.

[ghostphantom563]

At first glance I have to say week 4 since I'm a sucker for long shots.

[Canadan20]

did anyone notice the overwhelming amount of Sounders goals? i was surpri...oh wait no I wasn't

[thebig00JEW]

@Canadan20 Yup and now there out of the playoffs, love a Galaxy fan. :)

[EdgardoakaG]

the week 30 goal shoud have been Mcbrides

[bkmelendez]

Loads of long rangers this season. Either Shea Salina's solo effort or Le Toux teamwork strike for me.
