THERE YOU GO THEN FOLKS...MY TOP FIVE CONTENDERS !!
It was a very hard to narrow down out of 32 entries.
I heard brian pace talking about his goal a few weeks ago.Well after viewing many times,I could not decide if it was an actual heel or just the way the players action is shown shooting at goal.So the best way was to put it on the top 5 list,You can all make your own decision about that one.
GOOD LUCK ALL...

Wow, all great goals. The two volleys and Brian Pace's 'heel' were great to see... in a 'what was that'? sense. But looking more closely I think the two top-corner goals were more technically remarkable shots... and I went for Andrus Jones' one because, although it was from closer, slotting it into the corner over two defenders was just superb.

Oh, and 'heel'? I don't think so. I see it as an attempted pass from the defender, intercept and snap shot.

i didnt know which goal choose but your post helped me

it shown my that Andrus' goal was the best

Yes...my heel goal is one of those 'strange goals', but since my goal is in the final, I will limit my comments to avoid any kind of influence.

I will just tell you that it seems that now I have an open membership to goals with the heel...so prepare for another one for next month...I just scored it yesterday.

Good luck to all contenders!!!

Nice goals,I see!

**Zeppelin** · 08-07-2006 06:35 PM

Oh well for me it's quite clear that goal number 5 was hit with the player's heel. Great original and different goal.

Well done to all five users.

**Nikola88** · 08-07-2006 06:59 PM

Oh,two Serbs in top five...

That wasn`t the best goal I sent,but ok,it is in the top five!

I like Nikola's myself. Superb volley after some nice build-up play.

I once challenged myself to score a goal that looked like a back-heel or something similar. It came when I chipped the ball onto the crossbar - the ball bounced over the keeper and I backheeled in.

wow! 4 goals with 2 votes each. nice competition we have

**coomer** · 08-08-2006 08:05 AM

My reason for nicola milic goal is..No room for error.It was perfect.An inch one way its wide,an inch to high its over the bar,and an inch the other way keeper saves it...It was such an acute angle.
But we all have our own opinion on what is a great goal.
Some people look at build up,some at what level the players is playing at i.e..amature,pro ect..Some at shear quality striking!!
I personally would not pick a goal with great build up,taking on and beating defenders if it was on amature level.Just my opinion but it stands to reason it would be easier to pass around an opponent and beat defenders on amature compared to expert.
Anyway good look to all in competition well done for getting in top five.I think this one is going to be a tight one.It will go to the wire on last day of voting imo.

**Dimitrije** · 08-08-2006 09:04 AM

This will be exciting competition!

**ForzaAtalanta** · 08-09-2006 01:11 PM

Still 2 votes each... it's nail-biting!

Nautilus, I had another look at your 'heel' goal and I think you might just be right. It's hard to pick but it could well be a flick off the side of your heel. Amazing stuff.

Thanks!!!

Yes...it was amazing...an unusual goal...something different! It's a Zidane or Crespo style of touch!

Good luck to everyone!!!
