Before the year 2004 taking off your shirt to celebrate a goal was a legal way of celebrating
and scorers would go unpunished.

But in 2004 a game changed it all.
Do you know the player who caused it


Diego Forlan



In a game for Manchester United he scored a goal and took of his shirt, fair enough!

But the problem was that the jubilation dragged for long and by the time the game restarted he was still without his shirt. He resumed play holding his shirt in his hand and was only able to put it back on when there was a break in play.

Fifa got to hear about this and frowned at his actions, then they were imposed the rule that if you take of your shirt during a celebration the player will be cautioned.

That's not true, it is because ......... I can't remember. But its a lie.

There is always one stupid person ready to spoil things for others.
How and why did he drag the celebration?
Ok, that's enough knowledge on this useless game.
Let me go back to watching MMA combat.

Diego forlan aka one man artillery

Is that true?

So NA dis guy cast that level

This reason OP says is totally false! The major reason why FIFA banned the pulling off of shirt during celebration was because many players were in the habit of passing messages through their inner wears like religious, social and political and FIFA didn't want to be enmeshed in any of that, so the ban had to be placed.

No religious or political messages during celebrations when all eyes would be on the player. The player could still pull off after the match, but then there wouldn't be much attention on him/her at that time. Period!

this news is meant to make you light and relive you of your stress but all you guys do is use every opportunity to exhibit frustration.
live your life devoid of Buhari or Nigeria issues and see yourself a better person than this whole anger.
