Foot.ie decides - Ireland's best goal!

Whelan and McAteer

Whelan over Hoolahan. Farther out, better strike, from maybe the last man on the pitch I'd have expected to do it.

McAteer over McLoughlin. Better build up play, super strike with the weaker foot.

**OwlsFan** · 13/07/2020, 9:23 AM

Whelan, Hoolahan, McLoughlin, McAteer

Wes. Brilliant technique and a lovely run and setup from Coleman.

McLoughlin. I spent so many hours replicating this goal in the garden as a kid. Lovely control and strike. McAteer goal is similar to Wes in way but he has a lot more time to take it. The pressure on the McLoughlin goal tips it for me.

Interesting trend developing here! (hijacked slightly by Eirambler)

**pineapple stu** · 13/07/2020, 2:52 PM

Yeah, definitely two camps here!

Currently 5-4 to Glenn Whelan and to Alan McLoughlin. Tight ties both.

Next set up this evening, though this pairing will run till the morning of course.

Could you leave open longer, see if you get more votes? There's no rush on it.

**pineapple stu** · 13/07/2020, 3:39 PM

Longer than the 24 hours? I can I guess. I'll put up the next tie this evening anyway? It seems to generate a bit more activity in and of itself.

Whelan - manged to make himself invisible in order to pull off the equivalent of the Italian Job.

McAteer, build up play was legendary, the Roy Keane of old, ref plays 2 advantages, the Finnan dribble, the accidental 'dummy header' and McAteer's side foot perfectly meeting the bouncing ball

**pineapple stu** · 13/07/2020, 6:35 PM

So I'll put the next pairings up tomorrow morning, and Gibbs it 48 hours per tie - means the last 16 all this week. See what difference it gives the votes. I don't mind either way - might help those who don't log on every day keep up though

**Stuttgart88** · 13/07/2020, 7:14 PM

Wes / Alan for me if voting is still open.

**geysir** · 13/07/2020, 9:11 PM

Where did you come from? Have you got your id?

I'll go for Wessi & McLoughlin

**pineapple stu** · 14/07/2020, 7:49 AM

So going to leave the first tie open till this time tomorrow. It's still very tight.

But the next two round of 16 matches are open for voting now. First up, two finals goals face off. Matt Holland N v Cameroon, 2002 and Ronnie Whelan N v USSR, 1988.
