Behold! The Most Arrogant Penalty Kick Ever (And Other Trick Plays)

http://www.yardbarker.com/soccer/articles/msn/the_most_arrogant_penalty_kick_of_all_time/5587765

I absolutely love it. You could tell the goalkeeper wanted to stab him in the nuts with his cleats.

I figured we could turn this thread into a trick play thread. I love me some ignorant, dickish, arrogant trick plays

The first person that posts the video of the Swinging Gate play gets a kick in the crotch from me.

Just sayin'.

As clumsily as that was done, pretty amazing he beat the goalie on it. Wildest trick play I've ever seen was at a high school soccer game. Defense took down a guy in the box on a surefire goal and ref awarded a direct kick. Whistle blows. Player takes 2 running steps towards ball and stops. Walks to ball and leans over as if to adjust it....then nudges the ball right past a totally frozen goalie who then went absolutely ballistic for 5 minutes trying to talk the referee out of counting the goal. Goal stood. Pretty clever if you ask me.

Beautiful misdirection! Absolutely froze that goalkeeper!

I doubt if he'll ever be able to get away with it again, though. LOL!

This reminds me of Satchel Paige and his antics in the negro leagues. Worked every time, the man was a genius lol.

We had one in High School that worked a couple of times.

Before the whistle to start the game, a ref is to count the players on each side of the ball. Our coach would always have the capt go to the ref and tell him there was a man on the sideline in front of our bench who was on the field of play. Mind you this was before they really started to implement a space along the sideline where the players on the bench were designated. As an opposing team the player on the extreme edge of the field on our sideline we had informed the ref about, who happened to be the fastest and biggest scoring threat on our team, blended in with the rest of the bench.

The 2 strikers who kicked off would begin the play toward that side of the field drawing the defense to the ball allowing the hidden player a free run down the sideline. As soon as the defense got drawn in, the striker would pass the ball to the wide open player on the edge who made his move down the field. The player then had the option to take it straight to the goalie or cut it back if the defense had a chance to recover. Until we started getting scouted, we scored off this play 2 times early in the season we went to the Regional finals.

Absolutely awesome video. That is hysterical.

I like this one:

Yes, I'm sure he died in an "accident." Lol. In that part of the world, with a soccer obsession thrown in, you just never know what to believe.
