Puskas award contender from Notts County

T
Roofe's considering the level of the competition, where he collected the ball from, the number of players he beat, the accuracy and power in the shot from distance....all in dreadful weather conditions, won't be beaten.

Criteria​

  • It should be a beautiful goal (subjective — the spread of goals should include long-range shots, team goals, overhead kicks, individual plays, etc.)
  • It should be awarded "without distinction of championship, gender or nationality".
  • It should not be the result of luck, mistakes, deflection by another player or the player in an offside position.
  • It should support fair play, i.e. the player should not have behaved badly in the game or have been charged with doping, for example.
  • The player cannot be nominated with two different goals.

There was a goal being touted for it last week, not sure if it was in South America. A shot from well inside the player’s own half, so from a greater distance than Roofe’s.
But the distance was all it was all about - no winning the ball, beating three opponents, wading through a foot of water THEN shooting from halfway.
