The criteria states the goal should be aesthetically beautiful (and the nominations should include a range of goals - long range strikes, volleys, team moves etc)
It can't be the result of luck or a deflection so I'm assuming that's why Ibrahimovic's isn't allowed.
I was reading about this a while back when the nominations were first put up on the FIFA website, and level of competition was also a factor but I can't find anything about that now.

Even the World XI I they picked I thought was lacking in certain positions. No Gareth Bale? No Aguerro?

The forwards were OK imo it was defence and midfield where they picked the wrong players. Aguero doing nothing in the World Cup wouldn't have helped his case.
Goetze > Iniesta
Atleti defenders > Luiz
None of the Brazil defenders were there in person, I don't blame them, must have been too embarrassed.
