Who's got better goal celebrations? Obafemi Martins or Robbie Keane?
I think Oba has great celebrations, while Robbie's are humiliating and ridiculous. But a friend of mine though Robbie's celebrations are awesome.
Ur take?

while Robbie's are humiliating and ridiculous.
Based on what?

I personally like Robbie's more as long as he only does it a maximum once per game. With Oba's, I'm always worried he might injure himself. Plus, IIRC there was another Nigerian player that did multiple flips after his goals (can't remember the name) so it's not just unique to him.
But the celebrations that caught my eye recently were those interlocked, synchronized dances that I saw an Argentinian club team do last season (maybe Racing?). That was certainly fun to watch.

Martins is better. If you want a perfectionist look at Fabrizio Ravanelli, especially around 1996! The most annoying is Ronaldo, pointing the finger in the air.

Oba's celebrations are nice though one day he did the flips on a rainy pitch and I was worried he'd slip and hurt himself or something.
What does Keane do? I've never actually seen his celebrations.

Keane does a forward roll (on the ground) and a 'bang-bag' signal with his fingers. It's pretty good, especially when he's after scoring an important goal for his country!
BTW, Portsmouth's Lomano Lua-Lua I think it is, does 3 standing blackflips after scoring.

It's definately Lua-Lua. What about Aghahowa though? He does a ridicolous amount!
Keane or Martins? I'm not too sure. Robbie's looked good but it does get a bit boring after a while. He needs to update it.

Ronalso doesn't do that anymore, does he? He is now covering his face with his forearm. (no i don't know what it symbolizes)

Lua-Lua has the best.
Out of Keane and Martins... Well, I'd have to say Martins has the better celebration.

Martins.
That dude is crazy with those back flips. His teammates always know NOT to get int here and hug him as they know they'll get knocked the ******** out.

I heard the commentator during the Mallorca v Real Madrid say that Ronaldo's celebration is a message meant for his bride-to-be.
Simpin', not pimpin'.
As for Martins and Keane, I like Keane's a little more since it really pops the crowd. Martins' looks pretty cool though since he's short so he rotates all fast.
