Puskas Award 2014 best Goal.

I purposely didn't start this thread until after the results.
Rodriguez's goal is a very worthy winner in my opinion. What I was wondering though was how many of you think that Stephanie Roche's goal was there on merit.
I personally am delighted for the girl. I think it was a cracker of a goal and didn't appreciate it as much when I watched it first time. I think the quality of the footage has been enhanced since my first viewing on Youtube.
There is no doubt that if it wasn't for the campaign launched in Ireland to get people to vote for her, she would never have got a sniff near these awards in Zurich.
But then again, I'm sure the same kind of campaigning goes on for the other much more high profile candidates. It shows the power of social media these days.
I myself was going to post on here asking would people vote for her, but thought better of it.
The goal was scored in front of a crowd of just 95 people at Wexford's Ferrycarrig Park, but over six million fans viewed the goal on YouTube and sparked hopes that Roche could become the first woman to claim the coveted award.
I suppose it's not like scoring in the World Cup but it was a terrific bit of skill none the less and she did beat Van Persie to second spot.
Well done Steph.
