World Football Governing Body has released the nominees
for the Brazil 2014 World Cup Golden Boot.
Surprisingly no goalkeeper was nominated among the
top 10 players.
There were outstanding shot stoppers like Ochua, Howard, Enyeama, Navas and Ospinas,
Insinuations from some quarters
suggest that Vincent Enyeama of the Super Eagles was shortlisted but had to be removed
due to the recent ban on Nigeria.
Could that be true? See the Top 10 Award
nominees in alphabetical order:

Angel Di Maria (Argentina)
In providing Lionel Messi with the best possible support, Di Maria has led the Albiceleste attack
with distinction, posing a constant menace to opposing defences with his
long-range shooting, mazy dribbling and finishing skills, which he showcased
with a well-taken winner against Switzerland in the Round of 16.
