For some reason, a guy celebrating a soccer goal doesn’t seem as offensive as when American football guys celebrate a touchdown. Trying to figure out why.

Because goals are so rare, in soccer? Because an individual scoring happens so infrequently (really good scorers average about one goal for every two matches) that they must prepare far in advance? Because soccer has some dead time after a goal?

Anyway, here are two soccer celebration videos.

The first video, is a collection of about 25 celebrations.

My favorites?

1. The “dubbing” of the knight … with the corner flag.

2. The guys who appear to be rowing a boat.

3. The player who appears to be snorting a white line … which we always expected some football players actually did do, off the field.

But here is a more clever celebration. From Iceland, of all places. (Which apparently is a little goofy, considering the collapse of the banks there almost threw Europe into an economic tailspin, and the capital just elected a comedian as mayor).

All that planning? Half a dozen guys were involved there. And the guy who does the “flopping fish” (watch the vid, and you’re know) … that’s inspired. And the “photo” at the end of the big one they landed … And all in about 20 seconds? Great stuff. They have set the bar pretty high.

Anyway, nothing important today. Just a little fun.
