Zlatan, Neymar in frame for best goal
Zlatan Ibrahimovic and Neymar are among 10 candidates for the Puskas Award honoring the best goal of the year.
Ibrahimovic was nominated for his long-range bicycle kick for Sweden against England in a friendly last November, which just missed the 2012 award entry deadline. Neymar was selected for his right-foot shot for Brazil against Japan in the Confederations Cup in June. Neymar, now with Barcelona, won the award two years ago for a solo goal for Santos. Other nominees include Antonio Di Natale, for Udinese in a Serie A match against Chievo Verona in April, and Australian forward Lisa De Vanna for US side Sky Blue against Boston Breakers in June. Online voting until December 9 will decide a short list of three finalists which advance to a final round of polling. The winner will be announced on January 13 at the FIFA Ballon d’Or event in Zurich.
