Love This Soccer Player Who Started A Kerfuffle After He Scored The Game-Winning Goal And Mocked The Goalie For Faking An Injury

Markus Naglestad, come on down. Welcome to being my new favorite athlete. Listen, we need more of this in sports. I'm very pro shit-talking and mocking your opponent. Don't want it to happen, don't fake an injury and then don't lose. Pretty simple. A PK is 1-on-1. Goalie didn't want to get mocked, he should have stopped the shot. He didn't and Naglestad broke out one of the best celebrations I've ever seen. I can't stop laughing at this image of the goalie looking down on him.

A+ theatrics all around. The best is he waited to do this too. He had to run around the goal before deciding to drop down and do the same fake injury routine. The build up for it was completely worth it. Even better is we got a grade A soccer kerfuffle. No punches thrown, some pushes and a lot of hold me backs. Really the only thing missing was a couple of kicks for good measure. Honestly a bit surprised that the goalie didn't try to take a swipe when the guy was on the ground mocking him. 

You gotta think Marcus had this lined up ever since the goalie took a dive. He was waiting for that moment. I love that. Give me animosity and shit talking. Again, I want more of this during games. This wasn't going to Twitter to make fun of the fake injury. He scored and did it right in his face. Now an obligatory video of my favorite shit talking move during a game:
