We're used to seeing jinking, tricky displays from Bayern Munich winger Arjen Robben... just not usually in his goal celebrations. Once you've admired this great angle of the move leading to his goal, turn your attention to the recently substituted Mario Gomez, who is keen to celebrate the goal. Robben slides on his knees towards [.
The goal celebrations on FIFA 13 have thrown up this rather unusual effort, which seems to show the goalscorer fraternising with the opposition goalkeeper they've just humiliated. Presumably this is where the phrase 'keeping a clean sheet' originates. Via Dirty Tackle
Here we see Barcelona's U11 side taking on Arsenal a month or two ago, playing them off the park
with some lovely possession football and pretty much kicking your dreams of still being scouted by
a professional club squarely in the crotch as you approach your late, late twenties.
Here's a video that may brighten up your Monday morning a little a montage of some of the best
goal celebrations seen on a football pitch, as performed by some fans of the game.
Maybe the guys could learn a few tricks from StJarnan FC of Iceland, whom ply their trade in the
top league of Iclandic football, who seem to have made a habit of performing some quality
celebrations.
This made us chuckle ever wondered what goal celebrations would look like once laden with
Hollywood props, big-budget pyrotechnics and flashy special effects? Well, wonder no more...
Niko Kranjcar rabbit-punching a Tyrannosaurus Rex to the ground was a definite highlight.
No, I'm never gonna do it without the Fez on. Oh, no! Adel Taraabt's first Premiership goal was
beautiful but his goal celebrations included a Fez mysteriously materializing on Taraab's
noggin.
Anyways, here is Steely Dan with The Fez, in case any heathens got any close to an
explanation.
We are given various reasons for booking players for the removal of shirts during goal
celebrations, but whether it be religious sensitivity or the displaying of sponsors' logos, it
cannot be argues that footballlers don't know the rules. So when Feyenoord striker John Guidetti,
on loan from Manchester City, scored a penalty against Waalwijk, he [.
Now, these chaps can wear their football gloves in no fear of mockery! Temperatures in the UK limboed just underneath 0°C at the weekend and once more football has been beaten around the ribs and head-butted by the adverse weather. Thousands of football league and amateur league games were inevitably called off because of frozen [.
Fabio Borini promises Liverpool fans that his goal drought at Anfield will soon be over and when it ends, he mightbe bringing his trademark 'knife between the teeth'celebrationwith him. Have you had the pleasuring of seeing it yet, Kickettes?Why yes, it's unconventional and mildly confusing by most standards, but surely it's wrong to judge [.
On Tuesday the WNT got the chance to play at famed Old Trafford, the home of English Premier League
club Manchester United. The historical stadium combined with the steady rain throughout the game
provided a pretty great backdrop for the group stage finale between the USA and Korea DPR.
Watching live football always has that curious edge of nervous expectancy. Never knowing what
will come next draws us back time and again. When events turn against us, we say that it was
inevitable, we could see it coming, but when the footballing gods deem it is an Arsenal fan's
moment in the sunshine, nothing quite beats the thrill of an Arsenal goal in the final minutes of a
game.

El festejo de un gol no ha sido igual desde que Roger Milla anoto en el mundial de Italia 1990, las
celebraciones han cambiado , de ser algo serio hasta en algo cómico como las de los futbolistas
islandeses.
Pues en este espectacular vÃdeo podras ver los mejores festejos con una dosis de humor al estilo
Hollywood, en serio tienes que ver este vÃdeo, hasta aparece Javier "Chicharito" Hernandez contra
un personaje de todos conocidos.
Taking the lead in such a controversial subject such as video replay in football is probably a
position that The FA is not likely to take, but should. This is certainly an issue for FIFA and all
governing football bodies and while it could be an issue at Euro 2012, it will certainly be an
issue next season in the Premier League.
Was there really any doubt that Clint Dempsey wasn't going to run away with this award?
As some of our commentors pointed out during the voting, it seemed a bit one-sided. Not just
because of their own qualifications, but the over-whelming case that could be made for Sir
Deuce.
With nearly 40 goals for Fulham in the English Premier League and counting Clint Dempsey has made
the biggest splash of any American aboard, ever.
Continuing the trend of oddly violent goal celebrations we've seen this week, here we have Loco
Abreu scoring a 68th-minute equalizer for Figueirense in their Copa Sudamericana match against
Atletico Goianiense. When Abreu goes to celebrate this achievement with his teammates, one of them
decides that trying to yank the hair out of his scalp and snap his neck in the process is an
excellent way to reward him for his efforts.
Tonight Kei Kamara joins the show. We discuss his recent games with Sierra Leone, Sporting KC, goal

For no particular reason, Eric Cantona has spoken out against the likes of Mario Balotelli and
Leo Messi for pre-calculating celebrations and seeking attention by revealing messages on their
shirts. From goal.com:
"I dreamt of being a footballer, of doing great things, of crying and laughing after a victory,
of exploding with joy.
When Chelsea was announced as Sounders exhibition match, the reaction seemed a measured sigh of
disappointment with the exception of Chelsea fans. Despite winning the UEFA Champions League
Chelsea was not a draw. Chelsea had been to Seattle in 2009, and with the notable exception of
Didier Drogba, Chelsea remain much the same side.
One of the Emerald City Supporters' favorite players is stepping away from the game.
Roger Levesque will retire after Wednesday's friendly against Chelsea, according to The Seattle
Times, ending a nine-year career spent mostly with the Sounders, both in USL and MLS.
Robbie Keane and the Republic of Ireland endured a difficult few weeks during their time at Euro
2012. The Irish lost all three of their matches, but the brave efforts they displayed were not lost
on their proud supporters.
Tragedy also struck the Irish while in Poland, when a 21-year old Irish fan fell into the river
Brda and drowned.
Sporting Kansas City's dismantling of the New England Revolution was a study in how to make full
use of a man advantage, as their attack punished the 10-man Revs on their way to a 3-0 drubbing at
Livestrong Sporting Park.
In a weekend where not every team that enjoyed a man advantage could make the most of it,
Sporting KC provided a textbook example of how to stretch a team open and break down a short-handed
side.
Real Madrid dismantled Osasuna, winning 5-1 with two goals from Cristiano Ronaldo. His first was
an absolute rocket blast from considerable distance and, in one of the most Cristiano Ronaldo goal
celebrations ever, he pulled up the leg of his shorts and pointed to the thigh that just generated
that impressive display of power and accuracy.
It's OFFICIAL... Brazilian pop singer Michel Telo is taking over the
football world! When you have a Number 1 hit song in Latin America and Europe, players are dancing
to your songs as part of goal celebrations and Valdebebas welcomes you with open arms, you've
bloody well arrived!
Every Tom, Dick and Harry has had a go, so why can't Big Raddy?
However, this post is not just about the pitch and boardroom No, this review will go elsewhere... For example, what did we think about the team kit this season? I thought the home kit was excellent but was disappointed by our away colours.
The Halloween season is in full flow, cue the freakyb goal celebrations and here's one of the first from Sait-Etienne striker Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang after opening the scoring in last nights 2-0 win against Rennes, though it was totally robbed from Newcastle midfielder Jonas Gutierrez who produced his Spider-Man mask from his shorts against Barnsley in 2010.
Section 142 vs 143. Old guard vs the upstarts. David vs Goliath. Frame it however you'd like,
but the two recognized supporters groups will be facing off against each other on the pitch at
Gillette on July 21st for the right to raise the Supporters Cup. Regardless of the score I imagine
neither team will truly win, as players will spend the rest of their week explaining to co-workers
why they are hobbling around the office.
Noel Le Graet, president of the French Football Federation, has defended Samir Nasri's goal
celebrations after the player was seen "quietening" the French media following his score against
England on Sunday.
For far too long special effects have been the preserve of ropey Hollywood blockbusters.
Thankfully, the excess of computer generated explosions, fire-breathing and walking dinosaurs has
made it's way to the football pitch. In what has to be one of the most head-shakingly brilliant
video we have seen for some time, we see some classic [.
"Didier Drogba delivered a long and passionate eulogy to the European Cup as Chelsea finally
secured their holy grail."The Sun, 21 May 2012
There are some matches that end up seeming primarily the vehicle for one person to somehow
attain mythical status. The Champions League final between Chelsea and Bayern was written, it seems
now, purely to allow Didier Drogba a form of poetic catharsis worthy of fiction or film.
Today I am joined by Sporting Kansas City's Graham Zusi. We discuss the secret to Sporting's
success so far this year, goal celebrations, and more. Enjoy.

In stark contrast to, oh, a number of goal celebrations Robbie Fowler, lookin' at you this one
from Fabio Simplicio is of the more chaste variety: good father, good husband, good
celebration.
Of course since this is football and all, the commentators were rightly fraught with fright as
he thundered into the stand, ready to bring the Stadio Olimpico to scenes of complete chaos by
confronting a fan.
Poor old Wayne Rooney. No sooner has he fronted up to the jokes about undergoing a hair transplant
than he appears to be in need of another one. The Manchester United striker made the headlines when
he went public to say he was fed up with his receding hairline and to confirm that he had [...]

Another major component of the Revolution attack will not be returning this year, as Danish
newspaper Jydske Vestkysten is reporting that Rajko Lekic has signed a six-month contractÂ
with Lyngby. Terms of the deal will reportedly be published on Monday.
Lekic is the second Revolution striker this month to take his services elsewhere.
