I think Marco Pappa's goal is pretty sweet too

[Mark TFC]

Hopefully Martina gets the honour. Beautiful goal, well deserved. Stunner.

[tfcleeds]

All TFC bias aside, I don't see how he can't get it. Only Pappa's goal really comes close.

[ManUtd4ever]

The goal was world class, and the most beautiful strike I've ever witnessed at BMO Field. Martina deserves the honor without question.

[Alixir]

The goal was world class, and the most beautiful strike I've ever witnessed at BMO Field. Martina deserves the honor without question.I'd say it goes down as one of the best ever scored at BMO Field.

[Gazza]

Close 2nd for me.

Rafa Marquez's was the best I've seen.

Limited and Voted

Parkhurst for NE in October 2007 still takes the cake for me

[Yohan]

Dichio's turning volley for last kick of the game in 07 vs NE?

[Corpand]

Dichio's last goal of the season was incredible, and Pappa has a monster touch in this week;s goal, but gotta give it to Martina for the hustle, patience and technique.

[Parkdale]

I'd say it goes down as one of the best ever scored at BMO Field.


I think think that Dichio's season ending goal was THE best ever scored at BMO.


*people ahead of me saying the same thing.


that goal was a close to THIS as we will ever see at BMO.

[Redcoe15]

Did my part. :D

[Sopo]

All TFC bias aside, I don't see how he can't get it. Only Pappa's goal really comes close.

I agree, I don't see how he can't win.

I think Wondo's goal was better than Pappa's. I don't think either of them were as good as Martina tho.

[werewolf]

Nicest goal at the stadium and by TFC. Dichio's had excitement with the surrounding circumstances, but Martina was world-class.

[Gazza]

Getting to hear Robbie Earl describe the goal on the replay pushes it over the top for me.

Makes me wish i was was watching the Portland stream from the outset.

[Alixir]

I agree that dichio's beaut vs NE as the best scored at BMO. I would still love to know what Dichio yelled to Ries right after he scored it.

"EAT IT"
yep. . . . . . thats what he said. . . . .

[ManUtd4ever]

Dichio's goal was also spectacular, but it ranks 2nd in my opinion because Martina's goal was on the run, and required more skill and coordination.

[billyfly]

Oh no I voted for the other Javier! (just joking)

[KGH]

Close 2nd for me.

Rafa Marquez's was the best I've seen.

Agreed. Even I had to clap after watching that one.

[swan]

took my lap top to work and voted again from there so 2 votes for me

[Alixir]

do they win anything for getting Goal of the Week??...like a new AT&T phone or a towel?

[Cashcleaner]

Nicest goal at the stadium and by TFC. Dichio's had excitement with the surrounding circumstances, but Martina was world-class.

Couldn't agree more. From start to finish, it was the best goal I've seen at home and certainly one of the top ten I've ever seen live.

[LittleOzzy]

Voted!

Hope he wins this week.

[TorontoGooner]

Why I love this goal? In one camera angle, you can see me try and "nod" the ball in with my head, and then go nuts as it goes in off the post. Love it.

[ArmenJBX]

Also in the team of the week

[dupont]

Voted. It was a thing of beauty.

[QSIM]

This goal was top notch. Fantastic technique and quite possibly one of the best TFC goals to date.

[pekduck]

http://www.mlssoccer.com/news/article/mlssoccercom-team-week-march-28

Martina made team of the week

[Whoop]

I think think that Dichio's season ending goal was THE best ever scored at BMO.

Sad that I wasn't there to witness Martina's goal this week :(, but all the talk of overlapping runs by fullbacks hopefully we can witness a goal like this one day at BMO.

zk4rTWSUyxY

LOL Just throwing it up because it's the best I've ever witnessed. LOL Larsson's other goal in that match was pretty good too.

[CommradePolski]

I really hope he wins and Frei gets some credit cause his ball up field was perfect.

[TFCDP]

Don't we have a history of losing tight races in the goal of the week... As much as it should win, I have a feeling it won't.

[jojoflow]

All TFC bias aside, I don't see how he can't get it. Only Pappa's goal really comes close.

very true
pappa is a bigger name so people might just vote for him which is sad

so people that dont decide who they think should win based on how good the goal is will vote for Papa and not the best goal of the week and its clearly MArtina

[jojoflow]

Martina made team of the week

wow nice other than his goals he did play goo too he was always open
made good passes, made some good moves to beat defenders and he even went back to help on defence

Most of the game while watching I seen him get open and he also did little things to win free kicks, throw ins and create space for him self just wait till the team gels and Martina starts to make his nice touches to teammates like he did in videos.

He will for sure make it hard for defence to play vs him because of his skill on the ball and good play making skills.

[jojoflow]

Why I love this goal? In one camera angle, you can see me try and "nod" the ball in with my head, and then go nuts as it goes in off the post. Love it.

lol ill have to look for that

I was watching the game with my family I just got surgery so i had a tube inside of my neck draining blood and liquide from the place that the cyst was. So i could not scream or any thing I just was like wtf oh my and my family was wondering what happened.

I was in shock than watched the goal over about 4 times with a big smile shock my head a repeated wow a bunch of times

[Cashcleaner]

^ Thanks for the imagery. :lol:

[Oldtimer]

I'm excited by the potential for JDG-Martina link-up plays.

[Carts]

For a young guy, coming here to prove himself and get his career on track - scoring a pair, making the top-11, and being nominated for goal of the week will only help his confidence...

That right there is bigger than winning GOW etc...

Shake the nerves off, boost the confidence, give him the boost to be creative and work hard - and this 2-goal game could be much bigger than the 3pts it earned us...

Carts...

[greatwhitenorf]

Dichio's turning volley for last kick of the game in 07 vs NE?

Stunner. Certainly the most emotional goal. First ever brought much joy, but tempered by a sense of 'finally!'

That last one brought the house down, sparked the flash mob at midfield.

I still have a fondness for Dichio's goal against Colorado, when Ronnie O'Brien lobbed a gorgeous, backspun pass ahead of an overlapping Marvell Wynne. Wynne controls, nutmegs a defender to reach the side of the box, lashes in a waist-high cross inside the six and an on-rushing Dichio uses his upper leg to volley it into the roof of the north end goal.

Passing, dribbling, hard-nosed finish - had it all.

It's funny when you put this into context with Chad Barret's whine that he never got any service. I guarantee that ball would have gone into 115 row 10 if it were last year.

[TFCwestcan]

I think Marco Pappa's goal is pretty sweet too


I have to agree Pappa dribbles through the entire back line all within ten feet of each other.

I liked the RSL goal where Beckham is just standing there off goes the RSL player boom in the net. Good effort DP.

[JuliquE]

Not sure if it's been mentioned elsewhere, but it would appear you can cast a daily vote.

Just did so, myself and thought to post a little reminder. :)

[Technorgasm]

why cant we see teh results of the poll so far?

silverlightfail.

[CBTFC]

Far and away the best goal I've ever seen in person. The sound of BMO Field exploding when that went in is a moment I'll never forget.

[jojoflow]

^ Thanks for the imagery. :lol:

lol opps sorry ya sorry abou the details I thought it wouldmake the story better, the TFC game and Martina goal sure make my day. Im sure all you guys had a good day as well

[QSIM]

do they not show the live poll results anymore?

[QSIM]

As an aside, the bounce in 112-113 was massive following the goal. Suited the quality of the goal perfectly.

[Captain]

You can vote more than once in a day. I've voted three times today. Maybe you just need to exit and go back in. Not sure if any time has to pass.

[Brooker]

why cant we see teh results of the poll so far?

silverlightfail.

Well last year there was so much drama with the goal of the week voting because of flaws in their system and also people hacking it on a number of occasions. (Seattle and NY fans.) So I'm pretty sure it has something to do with that.

Hey Parkdale. What, it didn't happen until you post it? ;-)

[Parkdale]

okay, you beat me to it.


(hope that made your friday extra special)

[Mark TFC]

Totally deserved. This was clearly the stunner within the nominees, happy to see Martina noticed.
