The Goal of the Year Thread[2007-2008]

newbie original

We apologize for keeping the yellow too long
Yellow Card
Alright most of the domestic leagues are winding down, so the "best goals" scored(and seen by YOU), over the course of the ENTIRE season, can be made public. I don't think(yes, I checked) that there is such a thread for the 2007-2008 season. The goals can be from any DOMESTIC league or from any EUROPEAN competition.

When posting the goals, specify the name of the player who scored the goal and the team against whom he scored it. ALSO, please try to post a video of the goal. It takes less than 30 seconds to search for it on youtube....and there's a very good chance that youtube has a short 1-min clip of the goal. If you cannot(DO NOT WANT TO) post the clip, then just the player name and opposing team would be fine.

So here we go...I'll start off with my top 10:

10. Steven Gerrard(Liverpool) against Newcastle...BULLET free-kick

9. Javier Mascherano(Liverpool) against Reading

8. Nani(Manchester United) goal against Middlesbrough...perfectly flighted

7. Paul Scholes(Manchester United) against Barcelona to win CL semi-final

Socrates

Starting XI
Juninho freekick from 37.2 meters, one of the best freekicks I have seen. You have to also watch this replay from the back to see the greatness of it.

I remember saying EXACTLY that to myself when I saw it in the game a few days ago.

That first one reminds me of Ronaldo's "flick" a few weeks ago, against Derby County AT Derby County.
 

Sevillista

Starting XI
:( No love for the team goals in this thread. Nice strikes are good and all, but I enjoy seeing really well set up plays. Here is the best from Sevilla this year, and an illustration of why Dani Alves is the best RB in the world. Just look at the series of passes between Alves and Fabiano.

Luis Fabiano against Zaragoza
 
Not goal of the year, but this one from the Portuguese league is definitely one of the best back-heel goals I've seen in a long time.

Scored by N'Gal for Leiria against Sporting..
