In the last round of voting…

Despite a vocal showing from the Jairzinho-vs-England-in-1970 fan club, Roberto Carlos’ free kick against France won easily with 78% of the vote.

Bebeto’s goal against the Netherlands in 1994 earned 89% of the votes over Elano’s smash against Portugal in 2008.

In the closest contest of the day, Pelé’s famous goal in the 1958 World Cup final got 69% of the vote over Sócrates’ famous goal in the 1982 World Cup opener. Nice.

Lastly, Ronaldinho’s free kick against England in the 2002 World Cup beat Júlio Baptista’s bicycle kick against Catalunya in 2004 with 88% of the vote.

TODAY’S VOTING

Today’s first matchup pits two solo goals from the mid-2000s against each other. First is Kaká’s capstone on a 3-0 friendly win over Argentina in 2006…

…which faces Ronaldinho’s best effort from a hat-trick in a 6-0 friendly win over Haiti in 2004.

Next we have Nelinho’s trivela goal from the 1978 World Cup third-place game against Italy…

…against another Kaká goal, this from our Confederations Cup opener against Egypt in 2009.

Our third matchup pits Éder’s game-winning volley against the USSR in our first game of the 1982 World Cup…

…against Oscar’s goal wrapping up a 3-1 win over Belarus in the group stage of the 2012 Olympics—you know, the one where Neymar nutmegged a defender with his head. The full video can’t be embedded, so watch it here.

Our last matchup pits the legendary team goal that capped off our 4-1 win over Argentina in the 2005 Confederations Cup final…

…against Zico’s overhead kick from the 1982 World Cup group stage match against New Zealand. Again, the full video can’t be embedded, so watch it here.

The last round of voting only got about three-quarters the typical number of votes in this contest so far, so I’m going to stretch this round a little longer to see if that helps. Voting will be open through Thursday night.
