An Irish woman could win soccer's Goal of the Year award. Stephanie Roche plays for Ireland. She is one of three players who could win. There were ten players. After Ms Roche heard the news, she said: "It's been a crazy day." Roche's goal is now an Internet hit. It has over 2.5 million views on YouTube.

Ms Roche thanked everyone for voting. She is very happy to be the first woman who could win. She explained that: "French TV came down to watch me watching the results….To be in the top three is brilliant." Roche's goal changed her life. She is now a professional footballer in France.
