You have seen them run around the pitch like headless chicken after scoring a goal. Looking at footballers immediately after scoring a goal, one would be forgiven for thinking they have done something extraordinary like discovering how the sun runs on generators.
Well, scoring a goal is important in any football game, whether at the World Cup or village tournament, but For the Love of the Game does not think it is something to warrant the exaggerated celebrations some players engage in, like somersaulting, undressing and whatnot.
And as if that were not enough, some footballers are taking the goal celebrations a notch higher by for instance taking a selfie after scoring! Imagine! They are hiding the smart phones God know where, and once they score, they run to a corner of the pitch and take a selfie.
That is what Kansas City’s Dom Dwyer did last week during a match with Chicago Fire in the US. After scoring a goal, the player ran to the edge of the pitch in jubilation, held a smart phone and took a selfie.
“Dwyer ran to the advertising hoardings, was handed a mobile phone and took a selfie with a teammate,” reported UK Metro Sports. The referee was so not amused, he handed him an instant yellow card.
