And now introducing the starting lineup.........

What the frig. What is wrong with these guys. WOuld you let them play ball with you?

 

[WildBill]

The second guy is still playing, Valderrama was an icon in Colombia and one of the players they founded the MLS on! He looks better with the orange hair he normally sports these days...

IF anyone is interested in seeing one of the most amazing plays in soccer you'll ever see, featuring the second player, goalkeeper Rene Higuita, look up his name and the word scorpion in yahoo or google. Play the video if you find it, you'll be impressed...

 

[marias]

is that iguita or valderrama?

 

[SubZaero]

Higuita....

 

[WildBill]

Damn you are right, forgot about Higuita. Never thought the day would come when I would confuse Valderrama with anyone!

 

[batistuta]

Higuita was as crazy as his hair. He would drop the ball at his feet and start dribbling. And he would sometimes dribble up the whole field and shoot on the goal! He even scored a few times and took most of Columbias free kicks and penalty shots.

He was yanked after a few too many goals scored against with nobody in net and Higuita standing at the half way line.

Very entertaining.

That is an unbelievable play! Why in the world would a guy do that unless he was (a)showing off for the fans, (b) extremely confident in his ability to make that play and not give up a goal, (c) certifiably insane, or (d) all of the above?

Thanks for thinking of the play, -SLIM-, and thanks for finding the link, odogg25.
