FGCDL FC: What is your best moment in soccer?
My best moment in soccer was probably this year in Presidents Cup when I scored two goals in a single game. It had never happened before so I was very excited. Both goals were shot from outside of the 18, and went right into the upper corner of the goal. The first goal I hit it off a left-footed volley and the second goal was when I cut the ball behind me to get past a defender and I shot it with my right foot. Best of all the 2 goals were just enough to win the game.
