Could be considered slightly NSFW
Streaker Soccer.

I'm guessing it's fake - I just don't believe a barefoot girl could score like that.

It's actually not that unbelievable. In sooccer, you're told to kick with your instep or the top of your foot for a straighter kick, so it is possible to do it barefoot.

I'm saying "Plausible".

ETA: That girl can score with me any day of the week! [fish]

It's fake, and i'll tell you why. When the streaker catches it and scores the keeper is dissapointed and pissed right off because he thought he should have got to it - this reaction would not have occured had he conceeded to a streaker - much more likely he'd have been laughing his ass off with everybody else on the pitch.

Also, the crowd go nuts and this only occurs when a 'genuine' goal has been scored but the clear giveaway is the genuine reaction of the keeper - the streaker has been superimposed.

Well indeed - 25 years of watching the game and that didn't occur to me [lol]

That said, i'd be tempted to play in 'that' streaker [Wink]

I'd say it's fake, based on the reactions of the players. They seem to be taking it in stride rather than as interference. Maybe superimposed, though they did a good job of covering each of the angles. I think it also could have been staged.
