The FIFA Puskás Award
FIFA.com

Voting for the 2013 FIFA Puskás award has officially begun! A list of the top ten goals of the year was assembled by a panel of experts and members of FIFA’s Football Committee, and now it’s your turn to vote for a winner. You have until 9 December to vote for your favourite goal. Please remember, you can only vote once.

The three goals with the most votes from this first phase of voting will then be up for a second vote, and you can again pick your favourite. The goal with the most votes from the second phase of voting will be the winner of the 2013 FIFA Puskás award. You can vote (again, only once) up to the day of the FIFA Ballon d’Or 2013 Gala (13 January 2014) when the 2013 FIFA Puskás award will be handed out.

Enjoy these ten best goals of the year and helping to pick the best of the lot!

Some great goals in this list as well as some good strikes but not overly great.  Ibra # 1 for me, Luduena # 2, torn between Matic and Di Natale for # 3 & 4, Ankerson #5

I liked Ankersen.
For me, it was a great run from outside of the box, great vision to see the run, a perfect pass, great control and then a finish at an acute angle, under pressure, that was both accurate and powerful.

Really nice to see the inclusion of goals from women too.

Lisa de Vanna's goal is a gratuitous inclusion... aka waste of time.  Simple overhead kick.  Really like Necib's strike though, and Kone's side-volley.  But this crown is Zlatan's by a mile.

Some entries on that list are unimpressive.  I'm pretty sure the list could have been better.
Zlatan coulda had two on the list but I understand if they only want 1 per player.
Pogba had a few spectacular strikes, and I sure one of Cavani's coulda made the cut.
Zlatan is still #1 though.
