Top Canadian-Scored Goal of the Year
Honestly this is actually a loaded topic as I'm going to use it as both a propagandhi machine for Christine Sinclair's wundergoal vs. Brazil as well as an excuse to get people to post links to goals scored by any and all Canadians of any age level or either sex.
So, if you have a particular goal in mind and could please link or embed a video clip of it, by all means throw its hat into the ring for everyone to take a look at and decide if it's worthy of the honour. It can be a goal for one of our national teams or one for the player's club.
I'll take a shot at another goal, scored by the one and only Simeon Jackson against Ukraine. It isn't necessarily the greatest, but he did it against a fricken European powerhouse in a cheeky manner, which really paved the way to what could have been three points but ended up as a respectable draw away from home.

I'm not convinced that Jackson intended that as a shot. It sure looked good though.
I've always been partial to the great team goal (multiple-pass buildup leading to scoring play). Think Canada v Guatemala at Gold Cup 2007 (http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature...gvEa8F0#t=257s). The Hutchinson goal vs Ukraine was also a great team goal, with good combination between Simpson and Hutch.
Gavin McCallum's 92' game tieing goal in South America
McCallum wins based on Dick Howard's colour work ; )
Sinclair
Left foot snap shot bends over and around the keeper from 25 yards to strike the up-right and go in drawing level in the waning minutes against Brazil.
Yeah, good luck topping that one anytime soon.
(Have to say I loved that McCallum goal, sketchy defending and all. Dramatic stuff).
For it's a grand old team to play for.

Yeah that was loco. The three interesting parts about the shot are:
1) I don't believe after crossing center 12 seconds earlier did she ever look at the net. That's a pretty good sense of place.
2) She's right-footed.
3) It was in the 83rd minute, in Brazil, and turned silver into gold.
Sinclair almost scored the winner in the CONCACAF final a month ago with her left-foot as well but the Mexican keeper Vanegas made a pretty terrific stop.

Just because it was the winner, Kevin McKenna's goal vs Honduras in Montreal. Not the prettiest, but meaningful enough to me that it deserves recognition. Move to 2:27. This is a rough video, does anyone have a better one to up?
