Italian football side moons opponents, scores goal!
"When the moon hits your eye like a big pizza pie, that's amore..."

In the latest fashion statement out of Italy, soccer players are dropping their shorts to score goals.

Catania, a team in the country's top division, unveiled the new look while taking a free kick. The players lined up in a wall and dropped their shorts in an effort to block the goalkeeper's vision.

The Sicilian team carried out the maneuver to perfection Sunday. Three players dropped their shorts practically to their knees so Torino goalie Matteo Sereni couldn't see the kick by Giuseppe Mascara, who scored during Catania's 3-2 victory....

Former referees coordinator Paolo Casarin called the move "unsportsmanlike and in bad taste."


Aw. c'mon, Paolo! A story like this happens only once in a blue moon! :P
