FIFA Goal of the Year 2008

Posted: 26 Jan 2009 04:00 AM PST

No surprise, it’s a Portuguese attacker - but not that Portuguese attacker. And this guy, Belchior, doesn’t even play real football, he plays the beach version. FIFA.com still saw it fit to award him their Goal of the Year for 2008. A good goal, no doubt, but the best? Barefooted beach play is a bit tougher than grass and all (at least the movement part), but I’m not quite sure that’s on par with some of the elite goals across real grass pitches we saw throughtout the year. (Like one of these.)

But did I mention this occured in a FIFA event? Uh huh.
