Aguerooooooooooo!!!!!!!!

Which is the better goal? The last few days while surfing the good ole Youtube I stumbled across some soccer goals through out the past two seasons. Of course two of them stuck in my mind. The Arjen Robben goal vs Dortmund in the Champions League Final a few months ago, then the Sergio Kun Aguero goal vs QPR to win the Premier League Title two seasons ago. Both were pretty awesome goals!

It terms of just the actual goal and shot, we can probably say that Arjen Robben's was much better! The whole cross down field from Alaba to Ribery. Then Ribery holding off the defender to then back heel it to Robben who took a touch around the defender then slid it past the goalie. Yes the skill of the goal took much more than Aguero getting the pass for Ballotelli then striking it in. Both were not easy shots, but Arjen's wins in skill level.

The story line was pretty amazing on both of these goals. Bayern Munich had home field advantage last season against Chelsea in the finals and ended up losing in penalties. Robben missed a penalty in extra time that would have probably gave Munchen the win. He apparently had 28 shots in total champions league finals before this goal. So against their German rivals they were seeking redemption. Manchester City, the team that had been shadowed by Manchester United forever finally had the chance to win the Premier League title (even though they kind of bought themselves the title).

The thing about Aguero's goal was that I'm pretty sure QPR went up 2-0 in the game. Joey Barton then got a red card for QPR because he decided to pull a Joey Barton like move. I think he would have been a great player in the Premier League. Anyways, Manchester City went 2-0 down and they had to claw their way back. Then Aguero's goal came in the 93rd or 94th minute, I'm pretty sure. That gave Manchester City the title and they won the game 3-2.

Robben's goal came in the 89th minute and he needed the goal. He had a lot of haters and still probably does. The goal was for Bayern Munich, but it was also a goal for Arjen Robben. While Aguero's goal was totally for the Sky Blues!

That special about the running shoes will come out eventually. It may not come out until the big change of Just Plain Football though, so stay patient.
