Seems like you missed a big one. The Larry thunder strike!

That one might fall under "Nostalgia", but I agree it should be in consideration. It's definitely my favorite.

Kratz vs Montreal needs to be on here. Even if neither is individually the best, the double combo should count. In this same vein Almada vs SJ 2023 should be one entry. I know this is looking for one goal, but multiple goals can build on each other and make a bigger overall moment.

Also Tito vs Red Bull 2018 ECF needs to be on here. Unless that goes in the nostalgia category.

This might fall into Nostalgia but Justin Meram's insane volley against Montreal in 2019 is still stuck in my mind. The goal is about 30 seconds into this video.

In terms of skill (not the most impactful or the most emotional), the Almada free kick against Portland might be the best goal I’ve ever seen on a live broadcast. The view from behind him shows the ball like 6-8 feet outside the far post before it bends back into that corner. it’s really incredible. I remember thinking at the time that his asking price went up $10m while that ball was in the air.

1. Josef left foot vs Philadelphia in the playoffs (mainly for the slo-mo shot in front of the fire after which the digital team has somewhere)

2. Tito vs Orlando in 2017 (away)

3. Tito vs Orlando in 2017 (home)

4. Josef vs Orlando in 2018 to break the record with Randolph Childress look back at Bendick.

5. Tito vs Montreal in 2017

6. Almada free kick vs Portland

Maaaaan that Gressel goal vs. RSL was right when I was first watching the team, and it was the moment I realized how versatile of a player he was.

Of your list that Josef goal is disgusting. Top shelf, off foot on the run? Unreal.

Mine is actually Tito versus Orlando in 2017....down a goal, time running out, he takes a ball in off the left wing and unleashed from 30 yards.

My other is another Tito goal. The 3rd goal against NYRB in the conference semi finals. It was an OK goal, but that was probably the best crowd reaction / atmosphere of any game in any sport I've ever been to.

I know it's in a different category but the best long range strike in club history has to be tito away vs orlando

1) Goodness now I remember why I keep buying tickets... there has been some stuff.

2) Larry's, because it made for the 2nd most joyous night in club history.

3) Tito's v sports drinks in ECF, maybe the most consequential outside Parky to Joseph.

4) I miss Kevan Egan
