The Human Toilet Bowl Celebration

FC Stjarnan finally comes back with some creativity!  I was kinda hard on their past celebration dances but I’m defintely feeling this taking a shit on the competition celebration.

They Don’t Mess Around in Brazil

(Where’s McGruff when you need him?)

According to Brazilian newspaper Marca, a soccer referee is on the run after STABBING a player to death.  Local referee Gregorio Edio Francisco Chaves attacked Jose Ramos da Silva by stabbing him in the chest during a disagreement over a foul.  Then to top it off, Chaves stabbed Silva’s brother numerous times in the back.  Silva was treated by doctors but was pronounced dead on the scene while his brother is said to be recovering from his injuries.  Little side note, the 2016 Summer Olympics are being held in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil where there has already been skepticism due to the city’s crime problem.  Any other country I would be asking myself why the ref had a knife on him during a soccer match, but it is Brazil.

Female Sportscaster Gets Nailed By A Soccer Ball

I feel bad for this German sportscaster, no one on her camera crew even gave her a “duck” or at least a “heads”.  The poor girl just gets NAILED by a flying soccer ball lol.

FC Stjarnan – Grenade Celebration

Check out FC Stjarnan’s latest celebration, The Grenade dance.  Nothing new, it’s been seen on All-Star football games before but still posting in hoping that they can channel their inner creative and top The Floppy Fish.

The FC Stjarnan Team Has 2 New Celebrations

It must have been a water themed week for the FC Stjarnan soccer team out of Iceland as their latest two goal celebrations are team rowing and synchronized diving.  The dead horse is being slightly beaten with this team but I’ll keep posting in hopes they one up their floppy fish routine one of these days.  Hit the jump for the pool diving celebration.

More Cool Soccer Goal Celebrations

Another day, another e-mail from a person affiliated with the Starjan Iceland Soccer League team.  This time, we got 3 cool celebrations all from one game – The Rewind, The Stroke, and The Birth.  All three have been cool, and even the bicycle one, but I don’t think anything will top The Floppy Fish celebration.

The first celebration
On 9th minute they equalize after Selfoss scored the first goal. Ellert Hreinsson scores the goal and he celebrates like crazy and then stop. Then nr. 5 Bjorn Palsson finally gets to do something and he rewinds him so he can celebrate some more.

The second celebration
I don’t know how to descripe it but Atli Johannsson scores and gets a stroke or something like that.

The third celebration
It is on 78 minutes when Halldor Orri Bjornsson scores 3-1 goal and he celebrates by going into labor and then has a child which is the ball and then his teamates takes the ball and they celebrate.

The Human Bicycle Soccer Goal Celebration

The same team that pulled off the floppy fish is back with their newest celebration – The Human Bicycle.  I wonder how much of this team’s practice time is actually used on soccer, you know kicking the ball around, opposed to creating these celebrations up.

The Floppy Fish Soccer Goal Celebration

Halldor Orri celebrated hitting his team’s game winning goal to lift his Stjarnan club over the Fylkir club in the Iceland Soccer League by reeling in one of his teammates who plays the role of the floppy fish.  Great celebration!  Where were these during the World Cup?!?!
