Thierry Henry has been nominated for a second time in MLSsoccer.com's AT&T Goal of the Year ballot. Both he and teammate Juan Agudelo combine for four considerations in the contest, three of which came in the first round of voting.
Henry will look to advance to the next round of goal vs. goal competition with the hopes of taking home the title for Goal of the Year. In this round of voting, Groups E-H, Henry's strike will compete against Carlos Ruiz (Philadelphia), Jean Alexandre (Real Salt Lake) and Graham Zusi (Sporting KC).
