The Best 5 Youth Goals Of 2015 Are In. Kids Are Really Stepping It Up These Days.

As if I needed another reminder of why I was never going to make it as a professional footballer, US Youth Soccer has just released the best youth soccer goals of 2015. It features 8-year-olds dribbling past entire teams in ways I never could, and 15 year-olds slotting long shots as effortlessly as I would play a wall pass. Watching it is a humbling experience.

My vote goes towards the last goal. Seeing a U14 rip a shot into the top corner like that from what looks like 35 yards out, and in the 71st minute no less, is beyond impressive.
