I suppose there can’t be a snub considering this was a public voting system, but how Megan Rapinoe’s Olimpico goal didn’t win is beyond me.
¡Y POR ESO SE LLAMA GOL OLÍMPICO!
Pero qué clase de GOLAZO nos ha regalado @mPinoeY si, se vale soñar con el #BRONCE @USWNT

This goal is far and away the most audacious and stunning goal on the list, but the people have spoken and chosen Press. My best guess is that many fans were outraged when Press wasn’t included in the 2021 Female Player of the Year nominee list and voting for her goal was a form of justice.
LAST CHANCE

Voting for Female Player of the Year and Young Female Player of the Year closed on Sunday. Those results will be revealed in the near future.
If you’re itching to vote and missed out on voting for the USWNT, the USMNT opened its voting for Goal of the Year on Tuesday.
We can't possibly pick a best goal of 2021, so that's why we're trusting you.
