WTF

Cristiano Ronaldo is a good free-kick taker, but Cristiano Ronaldo just might have met his match in Cristiano da Silva.

Da Silva, a Brazilian who plays for Kashiwa Reysol in the Japanese first division, scored a hat trick made up of filthy free kicks against Vegalta Sendai.

The first goal was from the spot Willian keep scoring from this year for Chelsea. Da Silva curled it to the near post and it bounced at the perfect spot to avoid the keeper.

Cristiano Ronaldo is no stranger to having his name in the tabloids. Being one of the greatest soccer players in the world, as well as being extremely attractive and rich, will do that for you. Your name will be everywhere for better or worse.

However, this recent claim tops them all.

No, we’re not talking about Ronaldo’s rumored move to Real Madrid’s bitter rivals, Barcelona.

"These young males tend to hunt in packs, due to their immaturity. Their small statures and quicckness would make them ideal for sneaking up on prey, if only they weren't so brightly colored. 

Their bright colors serve to attract potential mates, but also attract the scorn of older males. The older males want the young ones to stop bothering them, as the older ones are in the midst of a fierce competition to decide which group is the alfa. These types of competitions can become very heated, but the young ones, it seems, just want to play.
