GOAL OF THE YEAR 2013

Bringing back the Goal of the Year competition!

Following the tradition that Falcon started back in 2007 here s the end-be-all competition that will choose the coolest, flashiest and, possibly, most flamboyant goal of 2013!

Plenty of absolutely jaw-dropping entries from several classy SWOS players all year round, all of which are definitely worth watching again, over and over, seeing as the GOTM didn t actually resume until after June I decided to make both winner and runner-up from each of the months the competition took place eligible for voting (this way we ll have more or less the same number of entries the previous GOTY showdowns had).

Also, no polls (since I can t open polls ;D ) you ll be casting your vote by posting your preference in the thread (something akin to I vote for goal B etc.).

Ya ll ready for an overdose of SWOS technique, skill and flair!?

Ok, here s the winners and runner-up s of each month starting with June then (only online goals allowed).
