Like I keep asking. How are they nominated. Is it purely down to YouTube hits and the likes.

Apparently a panel of experts decides on a shortlist of ten which is then voted on by the public to reduce it to three.

I guess because the vid of Roche's goal went viral it came to the attention of the panel.

Thanks for that. So it was essentially the power of social media that got her shortlisted, whether we believe it meritted it or not. I'm glad she did make it to the last three, but was actually quite surprised that eufa let her get that far. Maybe I'm being totally unfair to eufa.
I was pretty sure she wouldn't be allowed win, but there again maybe I'm being over critical of eufa. Maybe it purely came down to a public vote. Columbia being a bigger country than Ireland. If this is true, ultimately who won in the end is irrelevant.
They were all great goals.
A fantastic experience for the girl. Fair play to her. Well done Stephanie.

That Henry goal. Wow. And that guy done it regularly. I'm not a fan of the one hit wonders.
