ZURICH, Switzerland (AP) — Lionel Messi's stunning solo
strike in Argentina's 4-3 win over Brazil in June is among the 10
nominations for the FIFA Goal of the Year.
Goals by
Colombia striker Radamel Falcao, Brazil forward Neymar and France
playmaker Hatem Ben Arfa are also on the shortlist, which will be
reduced to three on November 29 following a public vote on the websites
of FIFA and France Football magazine.
The winner of the FIFA Puskas Award, named after Hungarian
great Ferenc Puskas, will be revealed on January 7 at the Ballon d'Or
gala in Zurich.
Neymar won the 2011 award and will look
to retain the prize courtesy of his goal for Santos against
Internacional on March 7, when he scored following a mazy dribble from
the half-way line.
