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. -_-

The Return of the King: Dalglish

He's back ^_^ Appointed last week as caretaker boss for the departed Roy Hodgson, Kenny Dalglish returns the club he played, and then managed from 1978-1991. After stints at other clubs like Blackburn Rovers, where he won a Premier League title in 1995, and Newcastle United in the 90s, former Reds manager Rafa Benitez asked Dalglish to manage the Liverpool Academy and guide the youngsters into the senior team. Although I'm not a Liverpool supporter, I do like King Kenny because he could apply his football genius on the field, and as manager of England's most successful club.

FourFourTwo inspired Trivia: Dalglish, Souness, Evans, Houllier, Thompson, Benitez, Hodgson, Dalglish (2).

Of course, if you saw footage of the King in action from back in the day, then you can't forget 'That Pass' to Ian Rush, or 'The Goal' against Everton in '86. I hope he can restore some pride to the club; it's no fun teasing your Liverpool fan friends when their team is actually losing (Hi Geoff).

Best of luck Kenny!

How to Qualify for the World Cup
