This CSKA Moscow defender would most certainly be congratulating himself on a beautiful goal had he simply managed to put it into the right net. Sadly, he is instead our leading candidate for best looking own goal of the year. And honestly, what kind of a muppet tries to put the soccer ball over their own net to save a goal. He could have just as easily put it out on either side.
I've played soccer since I could walk thanks to my father and love keeping up on all the latest gear and gab. I'm in my twenties, and I'm lucky enough to have found work in search marketing for a leading soccer retailer after completing my M.A. at Georgetown in 2008. My team is Liverpool, and national side is Ireland, but I've also got a passion for GAA and a number of sports. Feel free to give me a shout on Google+
