Anyone else following along with this series? It is really, really well done. Sports Illustrated is doing stories on each of the "10 most significant goals in U.S. soccer history" as a buildup to the World Cup.
I've only read the first three so far, but man they are really well written.
I'm excited to see where Donovan's goal against Algeria slots in. And I can't wait to see what goal will be added to this list this summer.
No. 10: Bert Patenaude's forgotten hat trick in 1930
No. 9: Abby Wambach's miracle goal in the 2011 World Cup against Brazil
No. 8: Benny Feilhaber's game-winner against Mexico in the 2007 Gold Cup final
No. 7: Brian McBride's 2002 World Cup goal vs. Mexico
No. 6: Brandi Chastain's 'redemption goal' vs. Germany in the 1999 World Cup quarters
No. 5: Earnie Stewart's goal against Colombia in the 1994 World Cup.
No. 4: Michelle Akers' 1991 World Cup winner
No. 3: Joe Gaetjen's 1950 goal against England.
No. 2: Landon Donovan's 2010 goal against Algeria
