Goal Of The Tournament

[Stuart]

I know it's still only part way through but has anyone got an opinion yet on the goal of the tournament.

I thought that the Tshabalala's goal for South Africa in the opening match was a fantastic strike and few have really stood up to it.

Anyone got any better ones in mind?

Forlans first against South Africa

David Villa's goal the other day was pretty classy.

David Villa's goal the other day was pretty classy.

That would probably get my vote so far.

[Hughesy]

David Villa's 1st without a doubt so far!

It's the first England goal i've seen this tournament. Blummin' ITV HD!

[neekoy]

Maicon was pretty good

Goal of the World Cup could have just been scored by Italy's Quagliarella.

Unbelivable!

In a tournament being talked about for its caginess, we've been treated to some wonderful goals.

The best goals I've seen so far (and in no particular order):

Fabio Quagliarella's goal for Italy this afternoon was absolutely brilliant.

Honda's scorcher against Denmark earlier was the best strike of the tournament yet as far as I'm concerned.

Endo's free-kick was also fantastic.

Gerrard's goal against the Yanks was a cracker.

Maicon's pearler against the Romuluns was out of this world (pun intended).

Elano also scored a beautiful goal in that game. His goal against Cote d'Ivoire was also brilliant in its build-up.

I thought the excellent Michael Bradley's equaliser against Slovenia was outstanding for its drama.

Ozil's goal last night against Ghana was awesome.

Rommedahl's goal against Cameroon was class.

Bendtner's goal in the same game was also excellent.

Birsa's curler against the Americans was top-drawer.

Higuain's third goal against South Korea was a lovely end to a beautiful move.

Forlan's opener against South Africa was brilliant (small deflection off Mokoena notwithstanding).

Vera's finish for Paraguay against Slovakia was fabulous.

At least three of the goals in Portugal's 7-0 demolition of North Korea were world class in their execution.

Villa's first goal against Honduras was awesome.

You mentioned all those great goals yet forget to mention the South African goal on the opening day which was also a corker

Totally agree though, there's been some brilliant football so far

+1

I was on about RoverMatt's huge list of goals so to you too!

[Commondore]

Maybe not the most beautiful goal scored, but considering the level of difficulty I would say that Asamoah's game winner against USA stands out so far.

[brfcshabba]

Suarez second goal against South Korea due to the amount of bend on the ball

[Tim Southampton Rover]

Carlos Tevez goal = WOW!

[thenodrog]

My vote is for Frank Lampards. Judged to absolute perfection. That shot really could not have been aimed any better. I mean that.

[Doaksie]

Carlos Tevez goal = WOW!

Gets my vote too - power, placement, perfection. A wonderful strike of the ball.

[Eddie]

Agreed about the Lampard one, would have been up there had it counted.

My vote goes to Suarez. Wonderful finish and a great way to put your team through to the quarters.

[Tom]

Gio Van Bronhorst would like to claim his prize now

[HemelRover]

Gio Van Bronhorst would like to claim his prize now

Seconded.

[Eddie]

The competition for worst piece of goalkeeping is a far more competitive contest.

But you have biggest critic of world cup 2010 sewn up Eddie
