On Friday Emily and I put up my very first soccer goal!! I was tempted too but I decided it would be really cool if one of my players take the first shot on it! So my man Ashton Durham, in the short video above, slammed in a great first kick and then topped it off with an excellent goal celebration!

I live in America where soccer is still a second-string sport, but even the most controversial but popular American sports blogs can't ignore this fluke goal from a college soccer player at Southern Methodist University in Dallas, TX.

Not sure if I posted this one before but this is 49 seconds of sweetness!

Thanks for the heads up Paul Carlson!

I think we have the edge in today's match. But don't count Chivas out. When it's a derby match, each team can play their best soccer of the season. Today it should be the Galaxy. If Buddle is on his game today, we will be unstoppable.

I'm so nervous/excited that I can't think of anything else intelligent to say.

What's most interesting to me is the focus on his "soccer-style" celebration after kicking a game-winning field goal in overtime last night to send Ohio State to the Rose Bowl. Bob Hunter in the Dispatch:

When Devin Barclay the football player made the biggest kick of his life, Devin Barclay the soccer player took control of his body.
