At the 2002 World Cup in South Korea, Ahn Jung-Hwan celebrated his tying goal for South Korea in a draw with the U.S. by swinging his arms and moving his legs in a speedskating motion imitating American Olympic star Apolo Anton Ohno. It came about four months after Ohno captured his first career gold medal in the 1,500-meter short-track at the Salt Lake City Olympics despite not crossing the finish line first. South Korean Kim Dong-Sung was disqualified.
In 1999, Liverpool star Robbie Fowler got down on his knees and put his left hand over his left nostril and simulated snorting on a white line after scoring against Everton. The display brought him a four-match suspension and fine. Whether orchestrated or purely spontaneous, emotions are running high.
"Scoring a goal, no matter where it is, is a huge feeling," Diskerud said. "It's just an overwhelming feeling and you see 10 players chasing you to celebrate the goal you scored with them."
