Definitely the best team goal scored in the Barclays Premier League this season, Jack Wilshere's finish against Norwich City was truly sublime. This is what happens when a team in form strings together a series of pinpoint one-touch passes in dangerous areas on the field. There is very little the Norwich defenders could have done short of fouling Cazorla, Giroud, or Wilshere. This goal even prompted Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger to claim that it was one of the top 3 goals he has seen in his career with the Gunners.

With the euphoria that came with securing 1st place in the Hex for the United States, it was easy to forget that Mexico was in a fight for their lives.

Hopefully the majority of us remember the four young, British gents that would change the music industry forever.
