Top 10 Goals from World Football in November
Like all Novembers, this year's edition had 30 days and fell between October and December. It also featured some brilliant goals from around the globe.
Here are 10 of them, and they range from stunning strikes from global superstars to goals from lesser lights you may not have heard of.
Here's to a goal-filled December.
Wesley Sneijder, Netherlands vs. Mexico
1 of 10As a man who has featured on these sort of lists throughout his career, you would have thought that there was very little Wesley Sneijder could do to surprise us any more. You'd be wrong.
The Dutch maestro expertly controlled a high ball in this friendly between the Netherlands and Mexico in Amsterdam before slamming a quite brilliant shot that was past goalkeeper Guillermo Ochoa before he could even think about saving it.
Isco, Spain vs. Belarus
2 of 10It's the technical brilliance on show that makes this goal from Isco for Spain against Belarus so special.
The Real Madrid man opens up his body on the edge of the penalty area and unleashes a shot that couldn't have been more perfect had he walked up to the goal with the ball in his hands and placed it into the top corner.
Clearly, though, that would have been a foul though, and it would have robbed us of one of the best goals of the Euro 2016 qualifiers so far.
James Rodriguez, Granada vs. Real Madrid
3 of 10Back on November 1, we saw a goal that was arguably better than any that came in the 29 days that followed.
Real Madrid's James Rodriguez, no stranger to the spectacular, unleashed this stunning volley after picking up a Karim Benzema flick in an away match at Granada. Real's 4-0 victory in that game was just one of many recent examples that suggest they are currently the best side on the planet.
With goals like this, few can argue.
Yacine Brahimi, Porto vs. Nacional
4 of 10Elsewhere on November 1, Porto's exciting Algerian Yacine Brahimi was doing this against Nacional in Portugal.
Brahimi showed the skill and composure to cut inside and then outside of two visiting defenders before unleashing a shot of rare power and accuracy that flew into the top corner and gave his side a 2-0 lead.
Esteban Ramirez, Herediano vs. Deportivo Saprissa
5 of 10Esteban Ramirez plays for Herediano in Costa Rica, and he did this in a league match against Deportivo Saprissa in early November.
The strike proved to be the pivotal one in a 3-2 victory for his side. Frankly, it was one that deserved to win a game of football anywhere and at any time. Bang!
Vasyl Kobin, Legia Warsaw vs. Metalist Kharkiv
6 of 10The flick from Marco Torsiglieri in Metalist Kharkiv's Europa League game at Legia Warsaw was nice, but not even he could have expected it to turn into an assist.
The fact it did was thanks to Vasyl Kobin's a wonderful overhead kick, which flew into the corner of the net. Sadly for Metalist, it didn't inspire them to go on and win with game, with the Poles coming back to run out 2-1 victors.
Oscar, Chelsea vs. QPR
7 of 10The incisive run and pass from Cesc Fabregas are the sort of thing we've been seeing from Chelsea all season, but the finish Oscar produced against Queens Park Rangers was one of incredibly rare quality.
The Brazilian bent a shot around Robert Green and into the corner of the net with the outside of his foot, ensuring that the QPR stopper had absolutely no chance to save it in a match the hosts went on to win 2-1.
Bruno Peres, Juventus vs. Torino
8 of 10We've had to switch to a YouTube clip for this one, simply because a Vine can't convey just how long Torino's Bruno Peres ran for.
On the final day of November, this brilliant individual strike got Torino back into the derby clash with their neighbours Juventus, but they were eventually beaten, 2-1, thanks to a last-gasp Andrea Pirlo winner.
For once, though, Pirlo had to share the limelight.
Carlos Tevez, Juventus vs. Parma
9 of 10Carlos Tevez just kept going and going and going as Juventus hammered Parma 7-0 in Turin on November 9, with the Argentina international's wonderful run and finish just one of the highlights of what has been an excellent season for him.
Tevez earned his place back in his national squad for the first time in three years in November, and with goals like this, you wonder why it took that long.
Sean Geddes, Worcester City vs. Barrow
10 of 10Last month, it was all about Erik Lamela and his Europa League rabona, but the FA Trophy arguably saw an even better example of the art in November.
Worcester City's Sean Geddes scored this stunning goal in the third qualifying round of the competition for England's non-league teams, with Barrow having no answer to this outrageous goal on the way to their 3-0 defeat.
