ASotD 12/14: Mirko Vucinic


At Absolute Stunners, goals become the Stunner of the Day for all kinds of reasons.  Sometimes we award cracking long distance strikes, sometimes scintillating solo slalom runs, sometimes brilliant bursts of creativity, and sometimes audacious chips.  This one qualifies as a none of the above.  

What is so stunning about this goal is Vucinic's celebration.  The Montenegrin's antics can only be described as outrageous.

Let's walk through Mirko's moves:

1) Fire a rebound home from 16 yards into the bottom right corner.  Game winner!  3-2 over Cagliari!  

(Will Mirko play it cool since his squad just eked past a shite side at home?)

2) No!  Immediately tear off jersey revealing...another identical jersey.

(What article of clothing comes next?  Perhaps he is wearing a third jersey?)

3) Remove shorts.  Parade around in tightey-whiteys.  Run 50 meters around the Stadio Olimpico track away from Daniele De Rossi and Simone Perrotta.

4) Kick billboard!

5) Gingerly reapply shorts.

6) Receive yellow card.

I have seen outrageous celebrations before, but this one must be tops...or should that be bottoms?
