Dramatic no-try call for Jonathan Thurston – Drama unfolded in the NRL playoff, as Johnathan Thurston scored what looked like a legitimate try, which would have sent the Cowboys into the preliminary final, only for the video referees to rule Robert Lui had knocked the ball forward.

How is Man Utd vs Leicester now on that list? Leicester fought back from 3 – 1 down at half-time to win it 5 – 3. Also how is the Chelsea vs Man City on the list? Literally on of the biggest sporting moment in the BPL happened when Lampard scored against Chelsea. Now Lampard holds the record for scoring against the most BPL clubs.

Very quick reply. I suppose they want too make as much money off of the highlights. There’s a site called footietube or something like that, that has hightlight packages

It was cool to see J.Rod score but I think Chicharito’s goals were more note worthy as they were completely out of character from him. Some very impressive long range efforts from a striker that had been likenned to a Ruud Van Nistelrooy (a poacher of goals).
