Carlos' goal is quality, but the 'Olympico goal' is an old party trick. Both Marco Pappa and Thierry Henry replicated it for NY this season. Pirlo's casual flick was spectacular.

Beckham - 3
Baggio - 2
Phillips - 1
Beckham's goal is one of the most memorable he ever scored. Baggio's touch in controlling that ball as he moved with the flight of it was pretty special though.

Best - 3
Gerrard - 2
Lucas -1
That goal was one of the best goals Best ever scored that was actually captured by cameras. Gerrard...well...Captain fantastic.

Now now guys, don't all go voting at once...:lol:

3- Pirlo
2- Carlos
1- McFadden
Pirlo's strike is brilliant, I love how he just strolls on nonchalantly and then hits the top corner. Carlos's goal is quality, but he's helped by the keeper and the defender being off the line. Mc Fadden's is awesome as well...but you get the feeling the keeper could have done better.

3- Phillips
2- Beckham
1- Baggio
Lovely long range volley from Phillps. Beckham's is genius, but he had the ball at his feet, whereas Phillips had take it as it came to him baggio's goal is great control but unspectacular apart from that.

3- Lucas
2- Gerrard
1- Best
That Lucas goal is superb, to pick a ball out of the airline that is brilliant. Love the technique n Gerrard's one, the fact it's a half volley just shades it over Best for me.

battle 4
3 - mcfadden
2 - pirlo
1 - carlos
a pure scottish goal. hoof it, don't mess around, whack it in. what i like about mcfadden's is that it catches the french by surprise, there's no time to even think. pirlo's is amazing because it's so casual. the defence are idiots for allowing any team that much space, but even when pirlo hits it, it doesn't seem like it's a shot. baggio's is good but i can't help but facepalm at the lack of defence/gk setup for it. the fact that his teammate jumps over it makes it a bit of a mockery goal imo.

battle 5
3 - baggio
2 - phillips
1 - becks
dat ball, dat touch :cool: absolute class by baggio. love the curl on phillip's goal, plus how he braces himself to hit it. becks's goal has had it's time in the limelight, give someone else a run.

battle 6
3 - best
2- lucas
1 - gerrard
best with absolutely amazing class. reminded me heaps of viduka playing with the defenders like that. unreal. lucas's is brilliant - from the corner directly to him to him hitting the ball on the full volley while it's kind of curling away from him. gerrard's was unreal too, love the bounce-volley, but i think it's a bit "oh, another gerrard goal" for me - old news kinda stuff.

Brilliant touch from a great ball.

3 - Best
2 - Lucas
1 - Gerrard
Tough draw for the Lucas and Gerrard goals. I probably would have voted for them if they had been drawn in the other two battles. Best is just brilliant.

I have to agree re: Carlos. Yeah it's opportunistic, but where is the keeper or defending on the near post. That goal Doesn't do anything for me

Battle 4
3 Pirlo
2 McFadden
1 Carlos
Carlos' effort is superb but for a man renowned for ridiculous spin no where near his best imo, whereas Pirlo's effort is just immaculate technique and placement.

Battle 5
3 Baggio
2 Beckham
1 Phillips
Tough to go against such an iconic goal from Beckham but FFS that touch is just ridiculous from Baggio.

Battle 6
3 Best
2 Lucas
1 Gerrard
Love seeing footage of Best with the ball at his feet running at the defence, one of the most naturally talented players to play the game and should have gone down as one of the greatest players of all time if he hadn't have fucked himself over so many times.

Battle 7:

Remember watching that FA cup final live, was a fucking tank performance by Stevie G that day.

Battle 8:

Loved that hit, power and curve.

Battle 9:

Just a perfect hit from Frings, loved it at the time, love it now.

Such a tough one... Stank and Mcgugan both incredible goals.....


3 - Gerrard

Three corkers... but Seedorf's was average keeping imo and Stevie... well, that is just phenomenal.

Edman, Wow oh wow what a hit son, will be absolutely ridiculous if Gerrard gets in over him because of bias and the timing of it then I will be pissed.

3-McGugan
2-Stankovic
1- Falcao

O.O

3-Frings
2-Seedorf
1- Gerrard

Three remarkable goals, incredibly tight.

1 - Gerrard
2 - Edman
3 - Gascoigne

I really had a hard time trying to choose between Edman and Gerrard. Went down to the fact Gerrard hit it on the half volley, kept it so low, and also the importance of the goal. Must be said but, that run by Gazza was brilliant.

3 - McGugan
2 - Stankovic
1 - Falcao

Great ball into Falcao for his goal, but apart from that, its nothing. I have never seen a free kick hit so bloody well. Wow o wow McGugan.

3 - Frings
2 - Gerrard
1 - Seedorf

Gerrard's strike is brilliant + extra points for the Aussie in the vid. Frings strike is mental although the keeper could have done a little better.

battle 7
3 - gazza
2 - edman
1 - gerrard
love gazza's goal. his run is world class, he basically mapped out that goal before it even happened. special flick & strike also. edman just beats gerrards for me, but i have no idea why.

battle 8
3 - stank
2 - mcgugan
1 - falcao
stank wins purely because it featured a salmon header. falcao's isn't spectacular enough to beat dat hit from mcgugan.

battle 9
3 - seedorf
2 - gerrard
1 - frings
all great hits. i really can't bring myself to give gerrard top spot, and frings was probably the least spectacular out of that bunch.

3- Edman
2- Gazza
1- Gerrard
Edman's is a phenomonal hit. Gazza's shows great control and a nice finish, which just puts it ahead of Gerrard's.

3- Stankovic
2- McGugan
1- Falcao
Mcgugan's is a sweet free kick, but Dejan's is better just for where he hits it from and the technique needed to do it.

3- Frings
2- Gerrard
1- Seedrof
That frings strike kis one of my favourite goals ever. Gerrard's is a lesson in placement, whilst Seedorf is helped by some dodgy keeping.

Uh... What happened to this?

I forgot to end that battle, and now I'm staying somewhere else for a couple of days, and didnt bring the spreadsheet. I'll be able to resurrect it this afternoon. Stay tuned.
