FIFA has asked fans to vote on the best World Cup goal from a list of ten options. The high-profile omissions are Messi’s effort against Mexico and Tchouameni’s effort against England. Richarlison has been nominated twice, joining Mbappe and Vincent Aboubakar on the list.
FIFA has officially unveiled a list of 10 goals from which the 2022 World Cup Goal of the tournament will be picked from. The Qatar World Cup did not disappoint, with Lionel Messi’s Argentina having the final say after an epic final against France.

2. Richarlison’s bicycle kick against Serbia
3. Cody Gakpo’s outside-the-box hit versus Ecuador
