    FIFA are handing out the Puskas award for the best goal of 2013 for a fifth time, with Zlatan Ibrahimovic looking like the clear favorite to win the trophy, even though Bicycle kicks don’t win, with dribbling and long range cannons being preferred.

    A list in which Lionel Messi isn’t the favorite. FIFA have released their 10 nominees for the 2011 FIFA Puskas Award, with Wayne Rooney’s scissor kick goal in the Manchester derby standing out as the leading candidate. Zlatan Ibrahimovic’s wonder strike against Lecce, Neymar’s wizadry with the ball or maybe even Dejan Stankovic’s 50 meter volley could give him a fight.
