Tim Cahill, Australia v Netherlands
A belter of a goal from the Everton legend, sadly it wasn’t enough for the Aussies to win the game.

An amazing overhead kick from the Chelsea man while he was still plying his trade in Madrid.
Marco Fabian, Cruz Azul v Puebla
A delicate chip from the Mexican makes the list.
Zlatan Ibrahimovic, PSG v SC Bastia
Yet another of Zlatan’s crazy back heels…
Pajtim Kasami, Crystal Palace v Fulham
This unbelievable strike sadly wasn’t enough to keep Fulham from getting relegated.
Steph Roche, Peamount United v Wexford Youths
The only woman on the list, Roche’s volley is brilliant.
James Rodriguez, Colombia v Uruguay
Rodriguez’s goal is possibly the abiding memory of the World Cup.

The Brazilian grabbed a last minute point for the Whitecaps with this strike.
Hisato Sato, Sanfrecce Hiroshima v Kawasaki Frontale
