I was thinking this one would be cool (even if it has already happened): A guy scores a goal, runs to the crowd behind goal, grabs a ball from a kid, autographs it, and gives it back...That would be funny, and cool, as hell!! Any other ideas rattling around in your collective heads??
This one is so obvious so I might as well get it out there: Mia Hamm or some other hot chick takes her shirt off and there is no sports bra underneath. Another senario, this one designed to promote the 'family atmosphere' at MLS games: After the visiting team scores a go ahead goal, the player runs to where the home fans are plants his feet firmly, and flicks a pair of birds while screaming "f****k you @ssholes!" to make all the soccer moms angry and the little kiddies cry.
how about a guy scores a goal and calmly goes back to lineup for the restart. sort of act like it's not the first time he's scored a goal and that he expects to score another. no, on second thought that would be boring. maybe he could just give the goalie he scored on a big wedgie and then cram the ball down his underpants.

How about they just moon us?? Or maybe if they want to really trash the image of the game...one of Heather Mitts teammates can simulate oral sex on here after she scores...
I always wanted to score a goal and run upto an empty seat in the stand, sit down, clap and ask the person beside me if he liked that one.
That's what my son does -- even though he doesn't score near as much any more now that he's a defender. When it's a REALLY big goal, he has been know to pump a fist. When I asked him about it several years ago at age 13 (when he played striker), he said, "I score all the time. That's my job." I thought that was pretty cool for a 13 year old. And now that he's in high school and U17 level, he still acts the same. It's the celebration I like to see.
Anything but a Tim Henman clenched fist. I'd like to see either: 1. Chin ups on the oppositions goal. 2. Robbie Savage/Dennis Wise/Glenn Hoddle impaled on the corner flag.
When I was playing, my typical goal celebrations were the Run Away From My Teammates So They Can Chase And Mob Me or Act Like I Did Nothing Special And Point And Clap Towards The Guy Who Made The Assist. Of course, I've always wanted to do the Hump The Corner Flag or the Find A Cute Girl In The Crowd, Kiss Her, Then Yell "Score".
ctfyiu Go up really excited to the goalie and shake his hand really fast like, thanking him the whole time. "I never could have done it without you." Or run up to the opposing team's fan section and do a crotch grab right at them. Yeah, that's the ticket. Ictar
1. Run into the stands and chug a beer. 2. Take off your right boot (or left if you scored with your left), give it a kiss and chuck it into the stands. Make sure to have extra boot ready on sidelines.
I do like the back flips but other than that, I'd like to see them stop. In the immortal words of Jim Brown,"act like you've been there before."
asdg As long as they're not really a copycat goal celebration I think it's great. Of course, if I scored in a world cup I'd probably slide plane style on the grass just to know what its like. Sorta to fulfill the moment. =P Ictar
i like the robbie fowler "cocaine sniffing" celebration. Carnt remember who he scored the goal against(proberbly Everton) and when it was, but it has to be one of the greatest and bizare ones i have everseen
The best goal celebrations, like the best jokes and the best movies, would have to be sexual or gastronomic. I think it would be great if someone, after scoring a goal went to the goalposts and lifted his leg. Or squatted inside the goal and started "forcing himself" until his face went blue. Or ran to the corner flag and started humping it. Or "rode the invisible pony?" I've done number 4. Then I never scored again. It was the highlight of my life.
I'd like the player to calmly trot back to his own half, possibly with a quick handshake with a couple of teammates. It'll never happen though.
I'd like for the goal scorer to calmly walk towards his bench with his head down very humble like. Then as he approaches his teammates, he yells out "JUST KIDDING!" and starts break dancing. Niiiiiice!
That's my style in pickup matches. Basically, I find the guys who set me up for the goal and go out of my way to congratulate them. But then again, I prefer making a good through pass that leads to a goal over actually scoring. Nothing pisses me off than someone who makes a big deal out of a goal in a pickup game. Competitive match? Sure. But a pickup match?
Being a fullback I'm probably a bit bitter and twisted about all this celebration stuff. After all, that's what a strikers job is isn't it? I don't start running about ripping my shirt off after making a good tackle. (Those who have seen me with my shirt off probably think this is a good thing). I am looking forward to 2 weeks time. It is our last game of the season and we can't make the playoffs. We are playing the team coming last who haven't got a point all year, so have agreed that regular backs will play up front and strikers play down back. So, if I do manage to jag a goal - watch out. Actually, no 'probablies' - I am bitter & twisted.
Does anyone else remember when Effenburg scored a goal in Champion's League, he stood still and gestured to a teammate to get down? That's about the most homoerotic goal celebration I've seen, short of biting a teammate's, er, tender region.
