Vote: Top 10 Goals of the Week

Its Monday, which must mean its time for the top ten goals of the week.

But before we get stuck into this weeks entries, a quick reminder about our new voting feature. Looking to open up our selections to the great 101 public, we kindly ask that you vote for your best goal of the week from our list. The poll can be found at the bottom of this post, and well round up who you thought scored the best goal of the week on Friday.

Ok. So onto the list where we start off with a fudge two golazos for the price of one as the Pilgrims lit up League One with a couple of crackers at the start of last week.

A dizzying this-way-that-way solo special from Scotland rocks up at spot two, followed by yet another stunner from a lower leaguer in Great Britain as we find one of the sweetest strikes of the week placed at number three.

Two volleys of the highest quality then follow in quick succession at spots four and five, before calcio takes over at goals six and seven as the Italians show the world how two score a couple of picture-perfect free-kicks.

Remember Cantona versus Sunderland. Well a remake was seen in Turkey this weekend, as seen with goal 8.

That leaves us with two: a sublime 50-yard slalom complete with an intelligent near post finish fills spot nine while the assist of the week contributed to our final goal at number ten.

After stressing that our list is compiled in chronological order (and not order of preference), all thats left to say is sit back and enjoy!

1. Onismor Bhasera & Kari Arnason (MK Dons v Plymouth, January 18, 2011)

2. Mark Roberts (Ayr v Hibernian, January 18, 2011)

3. Bradley Johnson (Leeds v Arsenal, January 19, 2011)

4. Raul Meireles (Wolves v Liverpool, January 22, 2011)

5. Robin van Persie (second of the game) (Arsenal v Wigan, January 22, 2011)

6. Cesare Bovo (Palermo v Brescia, January 22, 2011)

7. Sebastian Giovinco (Parma v Catania, January 22, 2011)

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...

So for your viewing enjoyment, here are the 25 Hottest NFL Cheerleaders. No. 25: Chiefs—Suzie Kansas City has it rough in professional sports.
