The Top 100 Goals of 2011

2012 is flourishing, but it's not too late to look back on the best goals from last year. Messi is on the list. Ronaldo too. But you already knew that. Some brilliant golazos you might not have seen are on here too.

Highly recommended hidden gems: Hernán Barcos' exquisite dribbling for Liga de Quito (#94), Nikica Jelavic's bicycle kick for Rangers (#91), Julio Gómez with another bicycle in the U-17 World Cup (#87), Pa Modou Kah coming out of nowhere with a thunderbolt of a strike (#62), Gualberto Mojica's one-two to back of the net strike (#55), Lisandro López's textbook bicycle kick for Arsenal de Sarandi (#21), and Cleiton Xavier's surreal touch for Metalist Kharkiv (#10).

Jozy Altidore and Sacha Kljestan have both enjoyed individual club success this season, which in turn has led to their teams turning in strong results both domestically and in Europe. All of that will come to a head in the UEFA Europa League Round of 32, when their two teams will square off.

After a hot start in his first season in the Netherlands, it appears that Jozy Altidore is going to have to fight for his place in AZ Alkmaar's starting lineup.

According to reports out of the Netherlands, AZ manager Gertjan Verbeek has elected to bench Altidore ahead of Thursday's UEFA Europa League match against Austria Wien.

U.S. national team players were heavily involved with action in Europa League on Thursday, and not a single one left with a loss. Goals were scored, assists made, and a long-awaited return to action finally took place.
Jozy Altidore continued to light the lamp, scoring his side's lone goal as AZ drew 1-1 at FC Metalist Kharkiv.

Jozy Altidore has done it again.

Altidore continued his fine start to the season by scoring the opener in AZ Alkmaar's Europa League match against FC Metalist Kharkiv on Thursday. The U.S. international got on the scoreboard after making a run and hitting a shot to the lower right corner in the 26th minute.

The quest for European glory continues for several Americans Abroad on Thursday, as the second round of Group Stage games in the Europa League gets underway.

After drawing last week, Clint Dempsey will look to help Fulham get its first win in Group K when the Cottagers take on Odense BK.

The draw for the 2011-12 UEFA Europa League group stage was made in Monaco today. 2009 winners Atlético de Madrid are arguably the biggest club involved in this season's competition and they will have been relatively pleased with a draw which placed them in Group I alongside Italian Champions League drop-outs Udinese Calcio, French side Stade Rennais and Swiss side FC Sion.

Another chapter was written in Ukraine's biggest club rivalry tonight as Dynamo Kyiv started off the 2011-12 campaign with a 3-1 victory over arch-rivals Shakhtar Donetsk in the Ukrainian Super Cup.

Shakhtar were the favourites going into the match having won the league and cup double last season.

Unfortunately it's not Tuesday or Thursday, therefore...today.

This is Zlatan Ibrahimovic's half-brother from a Brazilian father, Cleiton Xavier, who plays for Metalist Kharkiv.

And there's little else to say but he scored an artist's goal on the weekend of extraordinary technique, athleticism and aesthetics.

Three of the UEFA Europa League's Round of 32 first legs are in the books, but 13 more remain to be played on Thursday including games involving Americans Sacha Kljestan and Maurice Edu.

Kljestan starts out on the bench as Anderlecht opens up at home against Ajax Amsterdam in one of the more intriguing knockout-stage matchups.
