The final World Cup nominated goal comes from veteran Portuguese winger Ricardo Quaresma. Portugal was being held in the group stages by Iran before the 34-year-old stepped up with a goal he has made his own throughout his career.
Called the "Trivela", Quaresma struck the ball with the outside of his right boot from the edge of the penalty box, sending the ball flying past the Iran goalkeeper and into the top corner. A simply stunning goal which fully deserves a nomination for the Puskas Award.
