I rarely score, and my first in outdoor in 3 years was the 5th of a 5-0 win, so hard to do more than that. My 3 indoor goals were all tap-ins, courtesy of our dribbling king's passes. He did the work, I just turned the foot. He should be cheering not me no?

I must have dropped the f bomb like 6 times on the way back up the field and in an assortment of ways. I am ex-navy and it tied a hard fought game up. It was pretty much instinctual.

I usually give the devil's horns and stick my toungue out. Then again I am a left back so I don't get the chance that often anyway.

I know it doesnt make sense but it come naturally... Maybe I feel like the goal is a masterpiece and the artist deserves some kind of recognition... I dont know just happens. Other goals I pull the shirt over my head... I plan on having new and funny messages on my undershirt in the future... I have always wanted to try the one where you jump up on top of the nearest advertising billboard and balance on it... never got the chance though If I score a goal that I feel is particularly artistic I kiss my hand… I know it doesnt make sense but it come naturally… Maybe I feel like the goal is a masterpiece and the artist deserves some kind of recognition… I dont know just happens.

In Amateur soccer it's really only polite to celebrate if the goal is huge. For normal goals I usually just sprint up the touchline doing the Luca Toni hand wave by my ear back up to my position at left wing. The most emphatic I've celebrated was during PKs when I buried my kick and then gave my teammates such adrenaline fueled fierce high fives they recoiled and winced at the pain in their hands.

Took off the shirt, and ran past the visiting fans doing the 'shhhhh'. Too bad we were already 4-1 down then.

my celebrations mostly depended on the type of goal i scored and how important it was… if it was a tap in or something simple id just do a first pump and throw a finger in the sky pointin to the big man…

but the more dramatic and skilled goals id score id usually do a Pele/MJ esque jump and fist pump combo in the air…or i have been known to put my shirt over my head and run around like an airplane….

my greatest celebration was a game where i scored off a break away in injury time to give my team the lead and after scoring i ran towards the corner flag and slid into it like a rockstar… i slid from so far and just kept on gliding on the grass and when i stopped i was literally an inch away from the corner flag… and the whole while i was screaming like a maniac sorta like maradona during world cup 94… my teammates eventually all caught up to me and piled on top… it was somethin out of a movie.. i wish i would caught that moment on tape… it was amazing

I always was about 30 yards out on corners, because i was my teams stopper. the keeper punched out the corner and it bounced once, was maybe 6 inches off the ground and I blasted it ala John Arne Riise( with my right foot though) style into the upper right hand corner. I paid tribute to vincenzo montella, and ran down the sideline that our supporters were on. They went nuts. I also did a few flip-throws that game. Gotta love high school rivalry games. my favorite was when I ripped a 25 yard blast.
