[lol] Serie A team score by dropping their shorts!
-
Torino visited Sicilian Serie A side Catania on Sunday, and became of the first victims of a stunt that would be better suited on the playground. In order to block the goalkeeper’s view of a free kick, three Catania players, including de-robed forward Gianvito Plasmati in the picture above, dropped their keks around their knees. The trick worked brilliantly, as Giuseppe Mascara’s free kick sailed past keeper Matteo Sereni to secure to 3-2 victory for the home side:
“This is a strategy that (Catania coach Walter) Zenga tries continually in training,” the club’s chief executive Pietro Lo Monaco told RAI state radio yesterday.
Former referees coordinator Paolo Casarin called the move “unsportsmanlike and in bad taste.
“It’s a trick that should not be tolerated anymore by the referees,” Casarin said.
Lo Monaco responded: “A trick? I wouldn’t say so. It’s up to the referee to decide if it should be penalised, otherwise I don’t see where the problem is … Good taste is relative.”

Italian footballers drop their shorts for new free-kick routine: 3pm video
Serie A side Catania have developed a unique free-kick routine that involves their players dropping their shorts in order to block the goalkeeper's vision. The tactic, dreamed up by former Italian national goalkeeper Walter Zenga, was employed to great success against Torino last weekend, as you can see here:

Former referees coordinator Paolo Casarin dismissed the tactic as "unsportsmanlike... in bad taste... [and] a trick that should not be tolerated anymore."
How long until it catches on in the Premier League?
