The Special One’s Goal of Week Three

2
The AC Milan vs Lazio match saw a variety of impressive goals but the one which sticks out above the rest was the winner scored by Gianluca Zambrotta.  Zambrotta's is winning goal of the week for the following reasons, 1. distance 2. location 3. power 4. as fullback Zambrotta doesn't score often, making this a very special goal compared to the rest netted by seasoned goalscorers this week.

Davy Arnaud's golazo against LA Saturday night is up for Goal of the Week this week. There are some good goals this week, but I don't think you can top the laser into the upper 90 that Arnaud hit. Click to continue reading...

WVH Weekly Awards: Huckerby’s Way

1
Sometimes it is just hard to break a good habit. Right now Columbus is finding out just how valuable Guillermo Barros Schelotto is to their club. Another Schelotto performance this weekend against New England. A goal and two assists lead the way over the Revs 4-0. But for once he won't be winning the Player of [. Click to continue reading...

WVH Weekly Awards: Espindola Strikes

0
Lots of action in week 23 to count and figure out who shined brighter than who. To make this quick and simple I went with a two goal effort this week over a couple solid one goal efforts and a two assists effort out of a couple others. I went with Real Salt Lake's Fabian Espindola's [...] Click to continue reading...

Have You Seen This Goal?

In the 7th installment of the Goal of the Week there was a battle between 2 goals. The two goals I had to decide between were Deco's goal vs. Wigan in which he scored on a beautiful free kick that gave Chelea a 1-0 win, and Daniele De Rossi's goal vs Inter in the Supercoppa. Ultimately the Goal of the Week goes to Daniele De Rossi of Roma. Click to continue reading...

WVH Weekly Awards: Once More Its GBS

0
What more can you say about Columbus's Guillermo Barros Schelotto right now? Two weeks in a row with goals and assists to lead the Crew to a victory. There was really no question in my mind who had the best week in week 22 here. GBS's goal and two assists were clearly better than anyone's lone [...] Click to continue reading...

Don't think I've forgotten about the Goal of the Week, its just that there hasn't been that many games since the end of the Euro tournament. In the 6th installment, the Goal of the Week goes to Deco of Chelsea for his goal against Portsmouth.  In the 89th minute of the game with Chelsea leading 3-0 Deco fired a shot from way outside to box to give Chelsea the 4-0 win.

WVH Weekly Awards: GBS Does It Again

2
Now that the league is back on a regular pace for games in a week, things get a little tougher in figuring out who had a better week AND who had a better goal. Week 21 was just that, we had seven solid matches with different players coming up bigger than others and loads of [...] Click to continue reading...

WVH Weekly Awards: Cooper Does It Again

2
Hear that sound? Its the sound of a cash register running again and again as Kenny Cooper scores. Another weekend and another brace from Cooper, this time on the road in arguable the toughest venue in MLS BMO Field. A pair of late second-half goals from Kenny Cooper led FC Dallas to a 2-0 win. Cooper [. Click to continue reading...

WVH Weekly Awards: Cooper’s Week

So yeah, its Kenny Cooper day here at WVH. No kidding really, with all the games in week 18 there was really little doubt about who had the best week. With only five games and two of them being draws and the other two being 2-0 wins by road teams, no one shined, or out-shined [...] Click to continue reading...

I bring to you the 5th installment of the Goal of the Week. What else could this weeks goal be then Fernando Torres game winner for Spain against Germany in the Euro 08 finals. This could be the most important goal in Spain's history. The last angle gives the best view. Click to continue reading...

I bring to you the 4th installment of the Goal of the Week. All I can say is wow, if I thought choosing a goal of the week last week was hard, this week was impossible. So many good goals were scored this week in Euro 08, with the 2 runner up's being Bastian Schweinsteiger's goal vs. Portugal, and Russia's Roman Pavluchenko's goal vs. Click to continue reading...

I bring to you the 3rd installment of the Goal of the Week.. The Euro tournament has had some great goals so far, which made choosing the goal of the week very difficult. While Lukas Podolski's 2nd goal vs. Poland was excellent, Wesley Sneijder's goal vs. Italy was great, and Adra Turan's goal vs. Switzerland was great as well. Click to continue reading...

Vote for Goal of the Week here. (Does anyone remember the episode of Bugs Bunny where Elmer Fudd was chasing him through the nosebleed seats at the opera? And they are climbing over people's laps saying, "'Scuse me, pardon me, 'scuse me, 'scuse me, pardon me." That's what this goal reminds me of.

Tickle v. Tackle - Money and the Crap Futbol

1
DC United Tickle Finally back in black with a 4-1 victory over RSL. Moreno continues his mastery of the PK, while our preferred mode of attack seems to be dumped crosses for the far post runner. Despite the margin of victory, things were not entirely comfortable for the Black-and-Red, with frailty at set pieces and a few moments of miscommunication demonstrating that all is not yet completely Click to continue reading...

MLS Goal of the Week 08/27

Ah, this, my hundredth post. I think I will make it something light and frivolous.

This week's Sierra Mist GotW competition is dominated by awesome assists. Blanco's long distance assist for Barrett, Johnson's acrobatic backheel for Burciaga Jr., and Schelotto's hoodoo feint in the box for Moreno's finish are three of the best assists you'll see all season.

Zavagnin up for Goal of the Week

4
Kerry Zavagnin's 30 yard bomb from last night's game is up for Goal of the Week, along with Yura Movsisyan's game winner. Personally I am voting for Zavagnin's blast, it's just as good if not better than Dwayne DeRosario's goal that won him goal of the week. Click to continue reading...
