Worth Waiting Two Hours: All-Time Goal Celebrations #2


This is an honourable mention to Tiziano Crudeli of Italy. No, he didn't score a sweet goal on the weekend, or clinch a Champions League spot with a cool penalty into the back of the net. He is Italy's preeminent, over-the-top, AC Milan supporting television broadcaster.

His YouTube videos are legendary, loud, and laughable. However, there are moments when you can't help but feel sorry for him as his beloved Milan lose games or give up goals. My personal favourite is from this year's Champions League encounter against Tottenham Hotspur of England at the San Siro.

Take it away, Mr. Crudeli!

Worth Waiting Two Hours: All-Time Goal Celebrations #1

We watch hour upon hour for them, and when they come the celebrations that follow are humourous, inventive, and sometimes even confusing; what's even more hilarious is when the linesman calls it back for offside. I am talking about goal celebrations, and there is nothing better than picking a favourite goal celebration, and using it to celebrate everyday, mundane things in life to confuse family and friends ^_^

For the first installment, we head to Scotland for a league encounter between Hibernian and Rangers in August of 2010. After just over an hour, the game saw its first goal thanks to Rangers striker Kenny Miller. The celebration, which followed the opening marker of the game, found its way into a host of Setanta Sports' soccer commercials. I liked it so much I use it from time to time with my friends, who at first stared in bewilderment before taking it on to humourous effect ^_^

Without further adieu, here is the original master, Rangers striker Kenny Miller!

Whoops!

Sorry, I didn't post for awhile. I am contributing to other blogs, and in doing so I neglected to update this one. A thousand apologies to my football fans. -_-
