James Rodriguez has been named in the final shortlist for the 2014 FIFA Puskas Award for the goal of the year.
The Real Madrid midfielder's chest-and-volley in Colombia's 2-0 second-round victory over Uruguay at the World Cup is deemed worthy of the spectacular-goal honour.
Also from Brazil is Robin van Persie's lofted diving header over Iker Casillas during Netherlands' 5-1 thrashing of Spain in both countries' first match of the group stage.
Peamount United's Stephanie Roche rounds off the candidacy with her long-range strike after taking two volleyed touches to evade her marker.
The winner of the Puskas Award will be announced at the FIFA Ballon d'Or Gala on January 12.
