The Attack of the Pitch Invader Like No Other
Some people begin their workday by well … doing real work: cleaning offices, painting houses, arranging important meetings. We begin ours by reporting on a Brazilian soccer match last weekend between Sao Paulo and Santos which had to be delayed slightly to clear the pitch of a cross-dressing invader.
Goalkeeper Scores A Goal
Yes, as we near the start of the World Cup next week in Germany, we must
admit that soccer has a proclivity to produce an abundance of matches
which end in 0-0, or 1-0 if you’re lucky. (Not that our classic pastime of baseball is much better, especially with its tendency to show a heck of a lot more commercials.)
Martinez scored what must go down in the record books as one of the highlights
in the centuries-long history of soccer. During the 66th minute of the
match, Martinez launches a rocket from his own penalty area.
Two seconds later it descends in opposing territory
and bounces over the outstretched arms of Martinez’s counterpart
Tomasz Kuszczak. The shot gave Colombia a 2-0 lead, and they
would eventually win the game 2-1.
