[quote=TAZ]Last year it was nominated by FIFA as Goal of the year but its Neymar's goal which won.....it wasn't really that good but it showed what people thought of Rooney's overhead kick.

Here is Neymar's goal, it wasn't that good but voters thought it was way better than Rooney's goal. What i mean by that is that outside the EPL people don't think Rooney's goal was that good.....I believe the EPL has seen some fantastic goals over the years, we've also seen so many overhead kicks as well.

You also need to open the link attached on my previous post to see what other online fans think of the vote. His goal deserved to be goal of the season lakini should not even have been a contender for best goal in 20 years. Here's other links

Personally I think goals should be rated in categories i.e. volleys, overhead kicks,half volleys,scissors,shots, half liners a la` Becks and Suarez, one man runs e.g. Ben Arfa recently,etc etc , all on their own, based on difficulty of execution (Crouch's volley against Man City where he had to control and volley at a go with back to goal, Papis's wonder half volley),importance (whether they were game deciders)etc etc. For me Rooney's goal is not the best in 20 years of the EPL but I would definitely put it in the Top 20 greatest goals and in the Top 10 greatest overhead kicks (in the EPL)....but that's just me.

as for the best EPL goal.. Not that ive ignored it.. but its bound to be forgoten cos its just a goal.. no assists no superb run just some acrobatics..

How much emotions does it evoke? what is a last minute wonder goal like Zizous champions league goal..
Is it like Beckham last minute saviours...? a good thing comes with a lot of emotions.. thats why football is more than just a game..
