NYCFC Goal of the Year (Nominations Closing Soon)

[Gotham Gator]

With Jack Harrison looking to finish an impressive second in the MLS Goal of the Year contest, I thought it would be fun to see what we think is the NYCFC Goal of the Year. No disrespect to Jack's ankle-breaker, but I am not sure it would finish first.

Let's use this thread for nominations - then I will return with a Poll.

Post videos if you can. Below is a link to the Club's YouTube page for convenience.

I will start with a couple of good ones.

 

[Seven]

For the ridiculous curve, and being the game winner in a huge win for the club

Breaking ankles and winning in stoppage time

The filthy touch

Doesn't count, since it wasn't actually a goal, but a couple of inches to the left, and here is your goal of the year

A couple inches down and this is the goal of the year. Maybe goal of the decade for this club.

Any of those are better than jacks. Sorry still not understanding how it passed voting

Agreed. As ridiculous as a shot from almost midfield is anyway, the view from behind the goal that showed how much that ball moved made it even better

I guess it's a matter of taste.

To me, Jack Harrison had to do the perfect thing 6 times, where each move had a difficulty rating of 6.

David Villa had to do the perfect thing 2 times where the last thing (shooting) had a difficult rating of 10.

True, the opportunity to shoot from near halfway comes up less often, but that's less a matter of skill than fortune.

TMac's got a couple ones.
I'd vote for the one at RBA

 

[Jock]

I think this is still my favourite:

From the initial Villa flick, to the run from Harrison, the flick and that amazing first time finish. I was right behind that in the goal (same game as the halfway chip?) and the curl on it was superb! I was sure it was going wide after he hit it!

And yet somehow you didn't mention the superb distribution from Saunders that made the whole thing possible.

Ha! Well done, Flappy, for not throwing the ball in the goal.

 

[Gotham Gator]

Good stuff.

Get those nominations in so that we can do a proper vote.

This one all day. Absolute rocket.

Love that one. But hard to vote for a goal that was in the midst of a miserable loss to our rivals.

 

[Gotham Gator]

Thinking about doing an Assist of the Year poll too.
