Watch out how you celebrate your next goal boys and girls. Last weekend in MLS play Fabian Espindola deflected a long shot into the net with a glancing header. He immediately ran back to midfield and in celebration did a frontflip. Unfortunately, he didn't quite hit his landing. He did land on his feet, but with a very surprised look on his face. He walked over to the sideline in front of the Real Salt Lake bench and sat down for medical attention. It seems in all his joy he broke his leg landing his front flip! He was subbed from the match and will be out an indefinite length of time as he recovers. The final irony of the story??? The goal was ruled offside and disallowed!
So the moral of the story is to watch those goal celebrations! They could be dangerous.
