Will Johnson of Real Salt Lake has won the Sierra Mist Goal of the Year for 2008 on a nice flip up and kick that went right by a defender and fit just inside the near post for a goal. The voting for the Sierra Mist Goal of the Year was done by the fans. It was narrowed down to Geoff Cameron's goal in week 2, Cuauhtemoc Blanco's goal in week 7, Robbie Rogers' goal in week 26, Danny Cepero's week 30 goal, and of course Will Johnson's goal in week 30.
