Foot.ie decides - Ireland's best goal!
So - let's get underway!
A recap of the rules first. 88 goals to go through (let's say it's symbolic of our first finals) - so 8 groups of 6 and 8 groups of 5, with the top 2 going through to the last 32.
You can vote for one goal, all goals or somewhere in between. If you're voting for multiple goals, put in an order (1, 2, 3, etc). If you don't, I'll assume the order in your post is your order of preference. It's 6 points for a first preference, 5 for a second preference, 1 for a sixth preference, and 0 for no vote. In the event of a tie, I'll put in a casting vote.
Voting will be open for 24 hours. I'll post Group A now, Group B about 6pm this evening (at which time both Groups A and B will be open for voting), Group C tomorrow morning (at which time I'll announce the winner of Group A), etc.
The groups are roughly seeded just to avoid all the classics ending up in the one group. I've then listed the groups in alphabetical order of the opposition so as not to bias towards the "seeds". Still some tough decisions to be made though!
Some of the links are just the goal; others are of the whole highlights. I don't think you can embed a YouTube video to start at a set time (let me know if you can though!), so I'll list the time to jump to for those. I think you can put in a link that starts at the correct time, so I'll add that as well. If there's any better links for any of the goals (especially if it's the goal on its own), let me know and I'll use it if the goal progresses.
I think that's everything so. Let's see how it goes. Group A coming right up!
Ireland's best goal - Group A
