Goal celebration meets giant puddle, everybody wins

This weekend in Poland, we received a big reminder that it’s still OK to have fun and be a kid.

In a wet and slippery match between Grom Prace Male and GC United Gassy, striker Trykacz Jaroslaw scored the lone goal for Gassy. His teammates wanted to make sure they celebrated properly, so they took to the air and leapt into the biggest puddle they could find, splashing the opponents in the process.

While Gassy ended up losing 2-1, they certainly win the “most entertaining celebration” award in our book.

Gareth Bale is trying to trademark his goal celebration as a logo

Gareth Bale has filed an application with the Intellectual Property Office to trademark the heart-shaped hand gesture that he throws up to the camera after pretty much every single goal he scores.

It seems clear that Bale will try to put the logo on merchandise for fans to snatch up (the application mentions jewelry, leather goods and clothing).

One thing we’d like to know: What if Bale screws up his own trademark in the heat of the moment? Does the placement of the other fingers matter? That would be embarrassing.

And perhaps we’re reading into this too much, but the “11” in the middle means Bale won’t want to change his kit number. Maybe it’s a signal he isn’t planning on leaving Tottenham any time soon — a change in club often means a change in number.

Well, unless it’s to Real Madrid. Number 11 is held by Ricardo Carvalho. His contract is up this summer…

Luiz Suarez clearly wasn’t too fond of David Moyes’ comments ahead of Sunday’s Merseyside derby.

Moyes said Suarez has a history of diving, and that it deters supporters from the game.

So, of course when Suarez scored against Everton on Sunday, the striker unleashed a clever goal celebration — directly in front of Moyes. Talk about a burn!

Nottingham Forest striker Billy Sharp celebrated his goal against Blackpool in a peculiar way — after his power slide, you can see Sharp take a hot dog from a fan in the stands, and take a large bite.

Sharp even tweeted about the unique celebration.

And anybody know the man who’s hotdog I had a bite of,to much red sauce for me,and I’m sorry I didn’t give it u back,I owe u a fiver.

We know two things for certain: Billy Sharp should eat a bigger pre-game meal, and he isn’t a fan of red sauce.
