Goal of the Year Already?

[via Reuters UK]

German media have already decided that Grafite’s brilliant 77th-minute solo goal in Wolfsburg’s 5-1 win over Bayern Munich on Saturday is the goal of the year.

He somehow managed to elude five Bayern players before scoring with a cheeky backheel.

It may seem a bit early to be choosing the “Tor des Jahres” with nine months left in 2009 but even the normally reserved public TV broadcast “Das Aktuelle Sportstudio” proclaimed it “the most spectacular goal in Bundesliga history”.

The electrifying goal has featured in German newscasts all weekend.

Grafite’s goal, coming two days after his 30th birthday, also served as a fitting metaphor for the season as it helped Wolfsburg jump to the top of the Bundesliga in front of Hamburg SV, Hertha Berlin and Bayern.

This video is simply breathtaking. Ray Hudson's use of adjectives and ridiculous analogies could put him over the top as the best commentator ever. Check it out.

From phrases such as "like a Jedi Knight" and "This is a bravado goal" to his love affair with Riquelme. See why Ray Hudson might be the best there is.

At first I figured this was another fake video playing itself off as UGC but I think it may actually be genuine. Anyway here's the video description:
