Goal of the tournament (so far)
7th July 2006
The BBC has just launched its “goal of the tournament” competition. Like every “[ ] of the tournament” competition, it has been launched sometime before the end of the tournament, to capitalise on viewer interest. The risk of course is that the best goal of them all may be scored in the final. So we have chosen to call it “goal of the tournament (so far)“. Our favourites are: Esteban Cambiasso’s as best “team” goal, Maxi Rodriguez’s because of its importance, and Torsten Frings‘ goal against Costa Rica. I would also replace Steven Gerrard’s goal with Fabio Grosso’s semi-final strike.
