Goal of the Year 2011

     Soccer is the world's game and one of the beautiful things about it, is the wonderful amount of super goals we get to see year in and year out.  All corners of the globe claim their favorite players are the best and there's no denying the magic they create with their feet.  This year, readers of FIFA.com voted on the 2011 Goal of the Year and the Brazilian uber star, Neymar, beat out the likes of Leo Messi and Wayne Rooney, for goal of the year.  The 19 year old uber star, who's been compared to other legendary Brazilian greats, puts on a display for the ages as he scores an unbelievable goal for his professional club, Santos, in Brazil.  Although his team lost that game, he gave fans in the stadium and YouTube a memorable moment that will never be duplicated.  The award is formally called the FIFA Piskas 2011 Award and I'm sure Neymar will be in the running for many years to come.  He's been courted by many top European clubs, like Real Madrid and West Ham United, but he's chosen to stay at Santos in Brazil for the moment.  Enjoy the video and replay as much as you can, it's worth it.  The commentators screaming in Portuguese just add to the flavor.  SenSationallll!!!
