Top 10 Goals of the Week

After the most mental weekend of the season so far a weekend in which Champions Leaguers Arsenal, Chelsea, Tottenham, Inter Milan, Bayern Munich and Lyon all lost and the likes of Real Madrid, Ajax, Manchester United and Liverpool were all held to draws we arrive to our top goals of the week list.

With so many of the big names struggling its little surprise to see a list of lessor names occupy our top ten. That said, the list opens with one of the biggest names in Scottish football at present showing his talents with an acrobatic scissors-kick.

The volley of the week occupies position two, while in spot three even the most committed chauvinists will have to applaud a Maradona-esque goal from the womens U17 World Cup.

Spot four see the first of our long-range howitzers appear, and that is quickly followed by two more long-distance crackers from Portugal and France respectively.

A solo stunner changes things up in position seven, while the thunderbolts return at number eight.

That leaves just two: an amazing 35-yarder scored inside 40 seconds and a tremendous half-volley that no keeper in the world would save.

Please remember, all we do is pick the top ten goals and put them in chronological order. We leave it up to you to decide which goal is the best.

All thats left to say is sit back and enjoy!

1. Nikica Jelavic (second goal) (Rangers v Dunfermline, September 21, 2010)

2. Henrik Mkhitaryan (Shakhtar Donetsk v Kryvbas, September 22, 2010)

The Hottest Tour de France 2010 Podium Girls

Image
The annual Tour de France is among the most grueling races in all of sports. But every summer, hundreds of cyclists brave the plains, the mountains, the sun and the rain of France (and often the surrounding countries) to complete the 3,500-plus kilometer trek. But why? Fame? Sure, names like Lance Armstrong, Greg LeMond and defending champion Alberto Contador will go down in the annals of cycling history. Money? Certainly, the winners make some dough from winning and from the sponsorship deals that can result. The challenge of it all? No doubt, there are some competitors just looking to see where they rank among the top athletes in the sport. But there's another reason to race. If you win, you get to stand on the podium with some of the world's most beautiful women. Whether they're delivering handshakes, kisses or the radiant yellow jersey , these ladies serve as serious motivation t...
