Fan kills player during soccer match...

[BlueBalls]

Is that the official term for it? I'm not a fan of soccer, and I don't know what the technical terms are. In football, if you get tackled in your own end zone it's not called "own touchdown," it's called a safety. I figured soccer might have something equivalent. :hatsoff:

No, you put the ball into your own net. Its a goal for the opposing team. What usually follows is a shot of the player looking dissapointed and the goal keeper doing the same, or blaming everyone else.

Somthing like this, and its always as hilarious.


God I hate football!!!! :thefinger

A colombian player was killed for missing a penalty kick a few years back.

Andres Escobar, but he wasn't killed by a fan or fans. It was either a bar fight gone horribly wrong or an alleged betting syndicate (Medellin cartel) killing. Anyhow, the convicted murderer is free again.

Yes it is, "own goal" is the officially used term when a player puts the ball in his own goal...hence the term, see? Maybe you should stick to your stinking Phish...:thefinger

Watching Ronaldo's whinging against Fulham, I suddenly hope Man United tours Iraq at the end of this season....
