Goals Of The Week

Its back folks, Goals of the Week! Except I dont have the little poll thing from Sam yet, but write in votes will be tallied using my mathematical genius. Anyways, here are the three (sic: four) contenders for the crown:

Benzema/Ben Arfa vs. Toulouse:

I believe “exceptional” was said when Ben Arfa scored, while “Merci!” was repeated several times when Benzema did. I know the difference between a Ben Arfa and a Benzema, but these both were great so I will lump them together as 1 vote.

Diane vs. Lens:

The goal was cool for two reasons. 1. Rothens ball and 2. Watch Dianes body movement when he hits the ball, its remarkable he doesnt fluff that into the streets Paris. Diane pretty much got PSG their first home win, which makes his contributions even more important.

Ederson vs. Strasbourg:

Late, late game winner from that kinda strike is always gonna be in contention from the supremely talented Brazilian.

And because I love you, here is the rest of the weekends goals. Vote away! I especially enjoyed the luck of Djibril Cisse/calmness of Mickeal Pagis. Enjoy!

Rennes 3-1 Marseille:

Bordeaux 4-1 Auxerre:

Cavenaghi’s second was a runner up for selection.

Valenciennes 2-0 St Etienne:

Lille 1-1 Metz:

Kevin Mirallas got another shot on target but no But! Cabaye’s was pretty, but Metz’s keeper gave it to him.

Monaco 1-0 Lorient:

Sochaux 2-0 Le Mans:

Also, never trust my predictions, I was dead wrong this week. Later.

    Not being biased, but I really like Ben Arfa’s. Just the way he interacts with Benzema, that one-two, and then the way he just dribbles his way into the box…he’s just so much fun to watch. The nice thing about Ben Arfa is that when he scores, it’s always in such a good way – he doesn’t have boring, run of the mill, goals!

    This is true, but at the same time Benzema’s dribble into the box and shot were just as impressive. I think this weeks contest its pretty lopsided, no to take anything away from Diane or Ederson.

    Also, this is a very high scoring round for Ligue 1, lets hope this continues!

    Ben Arfa. (It’s just 0.00004% nicer than Benzema’s)
