You've seen hundreds of goals in MLS this year, and with the 2016 regular season in the books, it's time to decide which one was your favorite.


Voting for the 2016 AT&T Goal of the Year will kick off on Tuesday, featuring 64 of the best strikes of the 2016 MLS regular season (as selected by the MLSsoccer.com editorial and video staff) in a knockout competition. Each goal will be paired up with another worthy candidate, and then it'll be up to you, the fan, to watch and decide which goal moves on to the next round.


ENTER TO WIN: In addition to voting for your favorite goal of the campaign, US residents will also be able to enter to win a trip to MLS Cup 2016, which will include tickets, airfare, two nights' hotel stay and pre-match field access for two.


And even if your team didn't make the postseason, you'll still have something to cheer about in these next couple weeks. Every team will have at least two goals in the field, so be sure to cast your vote, tell your friends, and come back to vote in the subsequent rounds!
