SA Keeper's Wonder Goals Attracts More Votes
The legendary Jamaican sprinter, Usain Bolt, is the latest player to back Oscarine Masuluke for the FIFA Puskas Award this year.
Masuluke jets out to England this week to sit alongside Olivier Giroud and Deyna Castellanos at FIFA’s ‘The Best’ Awards, where he will find out whether he will become the first African, South African and goalkeeper to land the award.
He’s already had the backing of Nigerian legend, Jay-Jay Okocha, and now Bolt – an avid football fan, has also thrown his weight behind the Baroka FC shot-stopper.
He told FIFA.com, “I’d vote for Oscarine Masuluke. For a goalkeeper to score an overhead kick in stoppage time like that is impressive.”
Meanwhile, elsewhere in the awards, Bolt is backing Cristiano Ronaldo to win the Best FIFA Men’s Player gong after his excellent year.
He added, "I would go for Ronaldo. All three are amazing players but in the last year Cristiano won La Liga, the Champions League again and finished top scorer for the fifth season. His ability to stay at the top year after year is very impressive."
The awards take place on October 23rd.
