You may hate soccer ... I know this. Still, I promise that these will be six enjoyable minutes internet minutes.
It's the 20 best goal celebrations of all-time, and there's brilliance in here. Robbie Fowler snorting the touch line, Ruud van Nistlerooy getting some poetic justice, and some guy going apeshit and kicking the hell out of the advertising boards (not a paid adidas endorser, I'm guessing). And whoever put this together made some inspired soundtrack choices.
Great Goal Celebrations [The Offside]













Comments
I don't really like soccer, but that was cool - and the first time I heard the Lambada song in at least fifteen years.
Whoa, who the HELL was that Newcastle dude at the end?
And Robbie Fowler snorting the touchline...priceless, as is Bobo Balde for Celtic carrying on with his shirt over his head as the ref tries to track him down for a yellow card.
I like soccer, bitch.
The Fowler snort is the most infamous, but my favorite is the guy who politely shakes each of his teammates' hands. That won on sheer goofiness.
Where is the Spiderman celebration?
don't you mean that these are the only goals ever scored in soccer, right?
@Len Bias Cocaine Surplus: Agreed, Ivan Kaviedes is needed on this list.
Also, where's the dude shooting Andres Escobar?
Too soon?
Come on, how can anyone hate a sport where someone celebrates the way Robbie Fowler did?
Funny that Bellamy's golf swing made it, though I imagine most who would have stumbled on that video would know the backstory that makes it such a great celebration.
What's with the bukkake celebration? That was almost as nasty as watching Peter Crouch do the robot.
Can you imagine if Jamal Lewis snorted the back line of the end zone after running it in?
go-als?
man i haven't commented in weeks. thanks, live in girlfriend!
so far i know i missed the debut of the Ladies... blog, but oh the references that will surely fly over my head now.
@DeadTeddy8 (David de Sportszilla): Considering he just signed with the Browns, I really can't even imagine Jamal Lewis ever scoring a touchdown again.
I'm not much of a soccer watcher either...but that was pretty good...
i want to see Tom Brady celebrate by depositing some of his potent seed in a woman hidden in the goalpost padding.
the thought on somebody snorting the backline intrigues me, but the first minute or so is pretty boring, so i couldn't make it that far.
that clip needs a stronger director. i suggest the person who did Erin Andrew's movie.

@drewheyman: What movie??
Even Brandi Chastain and Eric Crouch cant ruin the joy of soccer but if I have to see that stupid sports bra and flamingo legs again, I am going to puke
I can't wait until someone makes it rain after scoring a touchdown next season. And then goes nuts when someone tries to take it.
@Cockeye Jones: But think of all the live-in girlfriend sex you're not getting.
@FabianBarthez:
I didn't realize Eric Crouch played much soccer while quarterbacking at Nebraska.
Hee-Hee... 'quarterbacking'
I had forgotten, but Chastain fucking gunned that PK. Who was the backflip guy? He's my new idol.
@FabianBarthez:
(hoping this doesn't double post)
Eric Crouch = Nebraska quarterback/quitter
Peter Crouch = English striker who gives children nightmares

I find it hard to believe that a soccer post is going to be home to UP! All Night!
Apropos nothing, Florida A+M just won the MEAC with a tip-in on an inbounds play with 1 second left.
baseball and hockey are much better sleep aids than soccer.
I think the roids were starting to kick in on that last guy.
I think the roids were starting to kick in on that last guy.
Shit. No pun intended.
@chilltown: That is rather disturbing.
I can see that Nibbles is going to play with us tonight. When are we going to offshore his sorry ass?
I love American sports fans who act as if they're giving to charity by watching soccer clips.
my personal favorite was taylor twellamn scoring, running over and diving at the corner flag so it was between his legs and proceeding to jerk it off. but that was MLS, not soccer
@RexMaximus: Well it is. We're Americans. We love football, nekkid women and gettttttin' drunk. Yee haw!
@RexMaximus:
Should we be shooting off flares and throwing seats or just fighting and projectile vomiting?
The MAC Championship (Miami-OH vs. Akron) is getting good. 50-50 with a minute to go on the deuce.
I'm glad to see Papa Bouba Diop made it. Probably my favorite name in the sport and now on the Fulham squad
Holy shit! Akron up 52-50, 6.6 seconds to go, shooting free throws. Cedrick Middleton misses the free throw, Miami shoots a 3 as time expires. Miami-OH 53, Akron 52.
Wow another amazing finish in the MAC. Miami wins on a bank three at the buzzer amazing.
My favorite is Man City's Corradi "knighting" Joey Barton with the corner flag.
+2 creative points
@Bort: @chilltown:
You mean you guys are watching the actual games instead of Lunardi et al's trenchant analysis on the mothership?
@Philistine: Lunardi is the best, but there is CONTRAVERSY in the MAC. The clock didn't start on time, and they might add extra time or disallow the three.
Wow nibbles just ate philistines comment and my response. Contraversy at Akron. They added .6 seconds, but Akron throws it away.
Fuck you, nibbles.
i can't believe abe vigoda's going dancing.
@Philistine: Yes, I'm watching the games. Cops is a rerun and I've seen this one already. Besides, as long as Lunardi is saying that Purdue's in the tournament, it's all good.
Abe - Vigoda's a pimp.
That bicycle kick goal was sick, as was the multiple backflip celebration.
The MAC referees were extremely bad at the end of that championship game. In fact I think they gave a technical foul to Dan Dakich.
If only irving had thought to do his famous "take the crack pipe from a friend" td celebration.
@Abe Froman: In 1938 I killed a hobo!
@Suss--: BGSU never should have let him come back after the WFVU thing.
Back from watching the g-town beatdown at the bar, where my friend joe bought my alcohol. yea joe! also, some girl gave me three shots as her table could not drink them. and I saw the son who is in town this weekend from ft. lauderdale. that was mind-blowing. but then again, driving a caddy in WFV and not getting pulled over - priceless.
