OK, we know that Israeli football generally sucks (please don’t mention Maccabee Haifa’s dismal showing in the Champions League; 6 matches, no points and not even one, single goal), but look at this video below and you might think otherwise…
Oh yes, that is a real cracker of a goal! So damn fine it’s made it into FIFA’s final list of ten candidates for goal of 2009! Wow, not sure the guy that scored that goal, Eliran Atar, ever thought he’d be keeping company with stars like Ronaldo and Torres, but well done me old china!
FIFA’s Top Ten goals of 2009 are here. Don’t forget to vote for Eliran!
