A soccer term describing one of three events:

1. A team scores a goal it doesn't deserve.

2. A team scores a goal in the literal last minute of the game.

3. A team scores a goal and has it disqualified for absolutely no reason.

Can also be used to describe achievements outside of soccer. Based on the USA team's 2010 World Cup performance.
Example:
Ghana could not score the American goal with a penalty kick during overtime, and lost the match to Uruguay in the penalty shoot out.

Example:
Bill: That new supervisor is an idiot. How'd he get this job?

Ted: He's the boss's son.

Bill: Way to score an American goal.

The term goalie self-goal is created when the words “goalie”, “self”, “-“, and “goal” are merged and fused. “Goalie self-goal” is a mostly unheard of expression that is very hard to complete. This is only able to be replicated by 3 unknown people. This phenomenon is done when the goalie of one team takes the ball and puts it in their own net. Some may think this is an own goal, but it is not. It actually awards the goalie’s team 10 goals. This rule was created 7 years ago in the IFA World Cup meeting. It can only be done by people with legendary power and the down syndrome award. This “power” cannot be explained by mortals, but the award can. You get the award when you get Z+’s in school.
