Happy New Year From Soccer On The Brain

Hopefully everyone has been enjoying some of great soccer that has been played in the closing days of 2007. 2007 has been a great year for soccer here in the US and abroad. As 2008 is already upon us, I wanted to take a quick look back at some of my favorite matches from this past year. Without further ado:

1. UEFA Cup Final of 2007. Sevilla v Espanyol
This was an exciting match that really highlighted the fast paced Spanish style of play. In all the glamor of the Champions League, great UEFA Cup games often go under appreciated. If you missed the game, check out the highlight link above.

2. West Ham United v Tottenham Hotspur
In my opinion this was 2007's game of the Premier League . There were some great goals, and the game served as Carlos Tevez's introduction to European football.

3. USA v Mexico Gold Cup Final
The only thing better than beating Mexico in the Finals of the Gold Cup is beating Mexico in the Finals of the Gold Cup with one of the best strikes of the year. Feilhaber's legendary goal was pure class, and was truly one of the best goals of 2007.

I hope everyone enjoys the highlights, and once again Happy New Year from Soccer On The Brain!
