How the hell is Homare Sawa's flick shot goal in an impossible angle against the U.S. not number 1? It's not even mentioned in the top ten? That was like one of the greatest goals of all time!

[@linus533]

Sawa's equalizer in the final deserves to be in this list, it was beautiful AND important

[@JoaoPedro-jv2fo]

[@zohsun]

No.1 goal must be Sawa's at final game, I think.

[@tekkenfan01]

zohsun no

[@kellyjay2447]

What? Sawa's goal against the US wasn't even in the Top 10? That was an unbelievable shot!

[@annodong4813]

I know right! 117th minute equaliser, in a WORLD CUP FINAL, with a gorgeous piece of skill at a crowded corner. #QueenSawa

[@shaqshaqy]

[@007Moron]

shaq shaqy Well, I guess not. History is written. :)

[@saldiven2009]

+shaq shaqy It's insane that Sawa's goal isn't even on the list. FIFA has that goal on a list of greatest goal in women's football history.

[@jrainsnow7451]

The greatest goals (IMO) are the most amazing plays/shots combined with context (pressure of the situation, significance of the game). In that sense, when you put together the technical brilliance of Homare Sawa's equalizing shot against the US in the finals, and the intense context in which it took place (trailing late in the World Cup Final, against a bigger, stronger team, in the shadow of the Fukushima tragedy and Japan's dark times), no goal in the tournament could compare (neither in history, drama, or momentousness) with Sawa's. Once again, only expressing my opinion! Many brilliant players and tremendous goals in the tournament, but my heart must go with Sawa!

[@tazago]

NO SAWA ? NO SAWA ???

[@ukks63]

Sawa's one is not just goal, it is the ART. That is why it is not in list.

[@matthewcassidy3694]

Yeah Sawa should be number 1no doubt

[@teheyepatch]

I thought Sawa's goal against the US in the final should have been #1

[@andrewg6241]

Number 6 is an average goal. Shouldn't be on the list. How is a good, but normal header Number 1?? Put O'Reilly or Hammarstrom at Number 1. And Sawa's insane goal not even on the list?

[@ginolerebours6466]

Wow. Sawa's World Cup Final goal should have been #1, not Wambach's

[@ichitaka05]

[@lulukinharocks]

Awesome!! Love in particular that of the Erika, which was a painting. And goals from Wambach and Sawa worth mentioning because they were made with "claw" and determination

[@CR710031]

The greatest was the Sawa's goal in the 'ship game. that is given. this is the ranking of the goals after the Sawa's. Ain't that right FIFA?

[@ReTethered]

FIFA Always meseses up the #1 Spot with these lists. Wambach's goal was put on top just because it was a last second goal. #2 or even Japan's Final Equalizer deserved it more.

This final still gives me chills.

[@AsianBoxOffice]

Ellyse Perry oh what an athlete proving it in both soccer & cricket Hats off to you gal!!!

[@EarthVanderer]

That's weird. People say that the #1 goal deserved the #1 because it's important. So, by this logic then every #1 top ten goals in every cup will have to be the winning goal in the championship match. Silly..

[@tzavalanche]

Many times it is though, god knows Serigo Aguerro's goal in the final minutes to give Manchester City the BPL title was considered the best of that season and still remembered by many people. Late minute goals are always remembered. Every goal in that list 5 years from now no one will probably remember cause none really had a "wow" factor like Ibra's outside the box bicycle kick, but goals like the #1 or Gotze's Extra time winner to win the world cup will be remembered for decades.

[@aaswagger6267]

@Ellen L I don’t like you

[@xavierchurch6237]

I think Heather O'Reilley should have been number 1

[@NathalieWongSantos]

Agree.

[@The_Ghillied]

xavier church It was a good goal, but Abby's was so clutch being down 1-2 to Brazil.

[@josie-ge5iv]

I think it should have been #2. Abby Wambach's goal was amazing!

[@rubyfruit17]

Fantastic!

[@LeonardoMata14leopander]

Great goals

[@MargaritaLopez-sh2kz]

awesome... increible estas chicas

[@Pirelli913]

I'm American, but the only reason Wambach's goal was number one was because it was a very, very, very late equalizer and Rapinoe's cross was world-class. She practically put the ball on a silver platter for whoever was on the other end. Heck, even I could have headed it in. Other goals on this list deserved to be above it. Oh, and the commentator on these FIFATV videos sucks. Give me Ian Darke!

[@QoStoOds]

keeper made a mess of it though...just saying.

[@TheExileEffect]

Also USA was down a player due to a red card as well. An undeserved red card I might add.

[@m0skit0]

QoStoOds Damn right, still the cross was perfect.

[@mayowa4321]

Best World Cup ever, my two top favorite teams won their semifinals 3-1. And Japan my favorite won the trophy with my second fav USA finishing second. I cheered for both teams all the way through, can't wait till Saturday 2015

[@corvidcrow572]

Lets all agree that the Aussie women's side perform wayyyyy better then the men.

[@muhammadtalhas8489]

[@user-vj4pq8km4y]

Muhammad Talha S And the USA!

[@jakey3887]

Muhammad Talha S same for Team USA

[@lucitort]

I don't understand why Wambach's goal is number. She's just standing there lucky to receive such an amazing cross from Rapinoe. Just like most her goals really. Her teammates are the better players. I understand the magnitude of her goal but it's not a "Top goal". No where close to the top ten to be honest.

[@harleywatt6825]

Yh man I felt the same way

[@m0skit0]

Luci Bianchi In fact it's an awful goalkeeping (on top of a wonderful cross for sure).

[@gosucalime]

Luci Bianchi Yeah, it was actually the worst goal on the list.

[@aguilasfan96]

You sir should be a broadcaster.

[@nitebot]

Have to agree about no. 1 being best assist rather than best goal. Nos. 2 & 3 were wonder goals.

[@samysam143]

thank you!

[@Chouquette8051]

Amazing

[@NotStraightCat]

the pass, the headshot, the timing (120th min) were perfect : us-brazil 2011 last goal is in fact a legendary & beautiful goal

[@MisterZayats]

Am I the only one confused about that normal header being at number 1?

[@marysmith-zy2sw]

Bibo Shank usa came back 0-2 in the 120th minute to tie the game and send it into pk’s, eventually winning the game and going into the final. look up “brazil vs usa world cup 2011” its pretty legendary. i think the circumstances around the goal is what placed it so high up on the list. which i think the goals themselves should warrant their place on the list, but whatever.

[@owensunuwar697]

@@marysmith-zy2sw by that LOGIC, Sawa's goal should be no.1 which is not even included in the list. That was a beautiful Flick goal from a difficult angle and on top of that USA were just 3 minutes away from being CHAMPIONS

[@paulinhodasuavida]

O número 1, de Abby Wambach, dói na alma brasileira até hoje. The number 1, for Abby Wambach, hurts in the brasilian soul until the present time.

No.7 what a goal..... No.2 brilliant

[@Palovxontora]

No.1 should be Sawa's goal in final WC.

[@joshuamichel4175]

Wambach's was a World Cup Final goal too, it was scored in overtime to force penalty kicks and give the U.S.A the eventual win. Besides that, heading a ball that perfectly, midair, from a cross that distance is really hard.

[@prissarpong]

Why is that one #1 again?? I think #2 is even better than the #1. Everything in this universe is becoming and even Women's Soccer is getting biased as well smh.

[@hipeople478]

It is because the meaning of the goal, they did not say it here but there were a few seconds left in stoppage time and US was down 2-1. They tied it went into extra time and then won on PK’s.

where is Sawa's goal vs USA?!?!?!?!??!?!?!

para mi el mejor gol o el numero 1 es el de la sueca con francia.. Q Gooolllllll !!!

[@Mr01125499]

what a great goals :D , my dream is tobecome just like them :) xx

[@Astraay]

As far as impact, I say number 1 because of the context. Aesthetically though, it's gotta be number 4: very calm chest down, wonderful touch over the defender, then the volley. The beautiful game, indeed.

[@autumnrodriguez8285]

number 4 pure awesomeness

[@tildeloltilde]

My exact thought as well.

[@larkstonguesinaspic4814]

4 was the best !

damn man what r those goals !!! !

[@user-ej9jc2bt4q]

where is Sawa's sensetional goal in the final? It must be the first one.

[@erssey6168]

Nobody care with her goals

[@lankyj91]

Number 1 was a great choice! Best goal charts and stuff aren't just based on whether it's a long shot or a fine piece of skill, its also based on impact. Wambach's header vs Brazil was scored in the 122nd minute of extra time! Literally last minute stuff which brought the game to 2-2. US then bravely wen't on to knock Brazil out on penalties 5-3 after some heroics by Hope Solo!

[@jackforpresident22]

IKR.

[@mayowa4321]

you would understand if you watched the match in 2011. The goal is the latest goal in women's world cup history. In the 20 years of the women's world cup there has never been a later goal. This goal saved the U.S. from elimination because the score was 2-1. the goal sent them to penalties which won them the game. The goal is also important because the country they were going up against is the country that was responsible for the U.S. biggest defeat in women's footballing history.(4-0 in 2007)

[@Kranjcan27]

Number 4 and 3 are the best goals

[@JovanStojanovicCoja]

L5 balance is so different than L4. high off the balance shots but still fun to watch.

[@markmiller6868]

The US stunned Brazil. You knew when the US tied it up so late in that game that they would win on PKs. In the US Finale against Japan, you also knew that once Japan tied it up in extra time, they were going to win on PKs. They just had the momentum. The only team I was ok with the US losing to in the WC? Japan. Great World Cup all around though!

[@fahadorky]

Nice goalkeepers ;P

[@uinfuirudo]

Im an American who usually routs against them since they really havent put out good soccer, just great athleticism. Im much softened on my views now, as the play has really improved, but that goal deserves a number one, not only is it amazingly well played, its at an absolutely crucial point in the match. I think Sawa's final goal not being included almost has merit as a fluke tap off of Wambach, but it might be the most important goal in the women's game's history.

[@MrTOONARMYLOVER]

Heather O'reilly WHAT A GOAL!!!

[@blindangelsin]

O'Reilly goal was the badass!

[@paulmaking1980]

Women's football rocks, women have superb technical skills. I love and support women's football, and also female footballers are very beautiful.

[@hiddenluv]

Because of the situation. Quarter Final Game. USA was down 2-1 in 2nd half of extra time. The 4 official signaled 3 added minutes. Half way though the 123rd minute the goal was scored. The US them went on to win the game in penalty kicks.

[@conversecrazy360]

YEAh BUDDY!!!!!

[@robisavi2436]

For all the people who say the #1 goal should not have been #1 you obviously do not know what you are talking about. Go watch the highlights from that game and you will see why it deserves to be there.

[@derianardor]

even so it wasn't about the beauty of it, albeit i dunno whats got you so blind the cross was phenomenal an the head in was simple an well done, it was about what it did to bring the us from the death aka, best goal of the WC

[@nightlystalkers]

It is first place because it got scored at the latest minute at 122' min which ultimately gave USA the trip to the final :) it is also the latest goal scored in history of a world cup both men and women :)

[@BAMFeria]

Number 1 was number 1 not because of the technique, but because of what it did. Watch the entire game, the full thing. It was a goal that brought hope back and brought the majority nation of the U.S. to acknowledge their women's team. Sometimes, it's not about the technique of the goal, but the after math.

It doesn't look like anything special but if you saw the whole thing it would be.It was the quarter finals Usa vs Brazil.Brazil scored in over time to make the score 2 to 1.Three minutes of stoppage time was given for the last half of over time.It was the 122 minute and Wamback .Usa ended up winning the game in penalty kicks.That goal by Wamback took the Usa all the way to the finals.If she hadn't made that shot the Usa would have been out in the quarter finals.That's why it's so special and amazing.

[@teagodx]

Numero 4

i thought number 7 should be number 1 or 2. the power and curve was stunning. such a perfect strike!!! although the game situation was favored more in this top 10 so i guess its alright.

[@Theevilrhino]

The keepers can't touch the bar lol 😂😂😂

[@Guigalberto]

The number 2 would be my number 1. And yes, I watched the match of number 1.

[@nightlystalkers]

It was the latest goal in history at time at 122 minutes after Brazil scored 2 goals one from a non existant penalty and another offside. the Referee was the most criticised one in history supporting more Brazil. Also brazil had wasted 3 minutes faking a injury of one which led to the extra time and the draw. It's the story behind the #1 goal which makes it great
