This is a list I've been wanting to compile for some time: the greatest internet searchable soccer goals since 98.
For this post, though, here's 25 great international goals from YouTube. Obviously the majority will be from major teams in major tournaments, and most from the top of my head--I'm sure some cat from United Arab Emirates or another insignificant soccer country scored some great goal in the past 10 years, but bummer.
If you want to suggest others, post via the comments. If you have questions on context or anything about the games themselves, ask via the comments.
Please keep in mind that the YouTube versions are often grainy on first view--you sometimes have to wait for the instant replays to get a real look at the goals.
