Someone’s been watching a little too much Shaolin Soccer, or the right amount. It could really go either way. That’s the kind of predicament we find ourselves in after watching this ridiculous goal.
They say fortune favors the bold, and it certainly did here, so we don’t want to condemn these boys for deciding to not give a f*** about things like “reason” or “the accepted norm.” We just don’t want them setting a dangerous precedent for themselves. How many bicycle-kick-to-bicycle-kick goals do you have to score before you start to think that you can pull off this sort of ridiculous s*** all time.
Actually, the more we think about it, we realize that’s exactly what we want players to do: ridiculous s***.
Send word to FIFA: we must mandate that every team sets a weekly showing of Shaolin Soccer into their schedule. We’re looking at you, Chelsea.
