Goal recap:
(1) Could you track an attacker to your own 18, make a gut busting 80 yard run with the ball, and still be cool enough to make a great pass your teammate could coolly slot away?
(2) Clever turn. Used his body to turn the defender. Buried the finish with his weaker foot.
(3) Great Chilean! (Americans call it a bicycle kick though... not sure why.)
(4) What makes this goal great is the teamwork you don't notice. The first header from the goalkick finds a teammate. Then the layoff and run by the forward to draw the defender out of his central position. Then the good finish. Overall excellent execution.
(5) Good run. Good decision. Great turn. Better Hit.
(6) Great goal from a Center Back*. Wins a header in midfield. Continues forward playing a one-two with an attacker and ends up on the edge of the box with a great strike. (* please keep in mind he does play for Arsenal**)(** Watch Arsenal play and you'll understand)
(7) Another Striker using his body to shield and roll the defender. But the speed and the finish are top class.
(8) This goal starts with great anticipation by the left back to cut out an attack. but the rest is All Fernando Torres. Moves, Speed, Power and the ability to FINISH.
(9) I posted this goal a few weeks ago but it gets better and better every time I see it. My new favorite part: if you turn up the volume, even over the commentator, you can hear the ball RIP THE NET! Whao!
(10) Great combination play around the box. An inside wall-pass, backheel flick, fake shot to draw a defender and a strong finish.
So there they are!
Pick your favorite and win. The winner will be announced Oct 18th.
(One vote per person. If there are multiple votes for the GOTM, a winner will be chosen at random)

As you all should know, the EPL (English Premier League) is back and better than ever (mostly because of being sans Newcastle.
The best EPL review show around is without a doubt the BBC's Match Of The Day. Every month MOTD rounds up the months best goals and sometimes awards prizes for guessing the best goal.
So I would like to inaugurate a new contest here on the BLOG. If you can guess the goal of the month, selected by the MOTD pundits, you'll win a soccer/Sac United prize.
Rules:
To enter, simply leave a comment to this post with (1) the goal # (2) your first name (or nickname) so I know who it is. You can only vote once. This competition is open to the entire Man Utd family, players and parents. In case of a tie, the winner will be drawn from a hat.
The winner will be announced this weekend! So get your votes in.
So without further ado, I give you the EPL AUGUST GOAL OF THE MONTH!
