Well, the world cup just ended on Sunday, but it left the football lovers with some crazy amazing memories. I must say Russia did an amazing job in hosting the world. Everything were perfect for the game. Staring from the opening ceremony, the stadiums, the facilities to the closing ceremony.
We also saw some amazing goals, scored by great players that represented their countries. Now, a total number of 169 goals were scored at this world cup, but only 18 goals were shortlisted for the FIFA goal of the tournament. I wonder how FIFA were able to select from those amazing goals. So, the moment we have been waiting for is over.
To cut the long story short. Here are the list of the nominated goals;
Cristiano Ronaldo, Portugal (third goal v Spain);
Nacho, Spain (v Portugal);
Denis Cheryshev, Russia (v Saudi Arabia)
Philippe Coutinho, Brazil (v Switzerland);
Dries Mertens, Belgium (v Panama);
Juan Quintero, Colombia (v Japan);
Artem Dzyuba, Russia (v Egypt)
Luka Modric, Croatia (v Argentina);
Ahmed Musa, Nigeria (second goal v Iceland);
Lionel Messi, Argentina (v Nigeria);
Toni Kroos, Germany (v Sweden);
Jesse Lingard, England (v Panama);
Ricardo Quaresma, Portugal (v Iran);
Adnan Januzaj, Belgium (v England);
Angel Di Maria, Argentina (v France);
Benjamin Pavard, France (v Argentina);
Nacer Chadli, Belgium (v Japan).
Denis Cheryshev, Russia (v Croatia)
The question is who are you rooting for? Mine is very simple, I'm rooting for Ahmed Musa's 2nd goal against Argentina that goal gave my goosebumps for days 😅. Visit the FIFA official website to vote for your favorite goal of the tournament. Voting will remain open until Monday 23 July.
