@pastimist recommends you follow: @101greatgoals

Twitter is the absolute best.  Here's an account I love:


@101greatgoals

Premise: Goals.  This account links you to videos of goals from all sorts of leagues shortly after they occur.  You get the video within a couple minutes.  In addition to the Premier League, La Liga, Serie A, Ligue 1, Bundesliga - this account takes care to occasionally pepper in "A Great Goal You Won't Have Seen".  (One of the goals that made this cutoff was Fredy Montero's recent absurd strike against LA Galaxy.)  You also get video of coaches' post-match comments, interviews...just a bunch of soccer video.

Appeal: Even if you don't really like soccer, you do like seeing goals.  If you do like soccer, you like seeing goals.  This is the most cooked crack American-ized way to enjoy soccer.  The hits and only the hits all the time. Be honest, when couldn't you go for watching a goal or two?

Representative Tweets:


I'll put up a few examples of the types of compilations @101greatgoals links to, but then let's simply enjoy a few goals, in the spirit of the account.
