Holy Moses! Israeli footballer in line for FIFA Goal of the Year award!
OK, we know that Israeli football generally sucks (please don’t mention Maccabee Haifa’s dismal showing in the Champions League; 6 matches, no points and not even one, single goal), but look at this video below and you might think otherwise…

FIFA’s Top Ten goals of 2009 are here. Don’t forget to vote for Eliran!
