Goooooooal!!! and Baaaaaaaalls!?



In the latest fashion statement out of Italy, soccer players are dropping their shorts to score goals.

Catania, a team in the country's top division, unveiled the new look while taking a free kick. The players lined up in a wall and dropped their shorts in an effort to block the goalkeeper's vision.

The Sicilian team carried out the maneuver to perfection Sunday. Three players dropped their shorts practically to their knees so Torino goalie Matteo Sereni couldn't see the kick by Giuseppe Mascara, who scored during Catania's 3-2 victory.

Commentary

"We'll leave it to the referees to decide whether this betrays the ethics of soccer regulations but if this does become a tendency for goal scoring across Europe I will start to feel bad for teammates and soccer fans alike. As we all know Europeans do things a little differently than Americans, which is better or worse? I'll let you decide. Euro guys tend to wear tigher jeans, therefore, a trend of tightie whities, maybe even thongs are preferred over boxers so you'll be seeing even more balls than the soccer balls and nuthuggers seated at the stadium. If this becomes a trend among female athletes in Europe I foresee a decrease in the sport's popularity and any sex symbolism potential the sport may possess. Shaving just isn't treated as much of a necessity over in Europe as it is here." -Anna
