Not too many surprises, but I expected either Burrows or Halenius to win the first edition of the FIFA Puskas Award (though I also liked Altintop's goal). Actually there should have probably been two separate awards - one for long-range efforts/volleys and one for Maradona-like dashes (as it's quite difficult to make proper comparisons between these two categories).
