Grizzly Posted May 9, 2010 Share Posted May 9, 2010 This wasn't shown on any of the sports broadcast highlights so I made a video of it on Youtube. This is how to show your appreciation to the fans for supporting you. I like at the end when the ref gives him a yellow he reacts kind of like, "Guilty as charged and well worth it! " Thanks to MassiveAttack for the match video. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rocco's definitely not your typical expressionless, NCAA, milquetoast-type personality in North American football... Great to see! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Bob Posted May 9, 2010 Share Posted May 9, 2010 Placentino is the sort of player I hate only because he plays for the Impact. If he were a Whitecap, I'd have his babies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeremy Posted May 10, 2010 Share Posted May 10, 2010 To be objective I don't see why the ref gave 5 minutes of extra time... but I am very happy he did! And I love Rocco. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr.Impact Posted May 10, 2010 Share Posted May 10, 2010 Have to admit, that's some sweet footage!. The build up on the play was fluid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonovision Posted May 10, 2010 Share Posted May 10, 2010 To be objective I don't see why the ref gave 5 minutes of extra time... but I am very happy he did! And I love Rocco. There were, what, 7 substitutions in the second half. Not to mention a good minute or two of stoppage with the sending off and penalty. It didn't seem too far out of line.

masster Posted May 10, 2010 Share Posted May 10, 2010 I have to admit that along with Jordan, Rocco is one of the few Impact players that I really like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soju Posted May 10, 2010 Share Posted May 10, 2010 Nice cool build up in the final third. Placentino's a stud, he reminds me of Pesch there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
montrealjuventus Posted May 10, 2010 Share Posted May 10, 2010 i am not even sure he scored this goal. the ball goes in the net clearly off Arango from NSC Minnesota. i wonder if he actually flicked the ball off Arango or he just missed it and it went in off the defender? what do you guys think? By the way, don't look at his celebratiom and conclude that he scored from his reaction. any forward in the world would have done the same in this situation touch it or not. Well done Rocco anyways and well done impact! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mtlfan Posted May 11, 2010 Share Posted May 11, 2010 Taking off your shirt and getting a yellow card is Stupid. It does only one thing and that is hurt the team. It serves no purpose at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MastaK Posted May 12, 2010 Share Posted May 12, 2010 Taking off your shirt and getting a yellow card is Stupid. It does only one thing and that is hurt the team. It serves no purpose at all. He would've been booked for running to the other side of the field anyways. That's a pretty dull comment. After giving two extra points to the team (or should I say 3 because he scored the two goals), I think he has the right to celebrate the way he wants.

jpg75 Posted May 12, 2010 Share Posted May 12, 2010 I was thinking the same, but someone on the MTL board says he paused it at the right moment and it's indeed Rocco's goal. I thought the same as the juve guy in the post above yours and watched the video and paused it as it hit Placentinos' head. I'm about 99% sure the goal is his, the only other thing i can think of is it could have hit the defenders foot after he headed it... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Talk to me when he gets suspended for 5 yellows or whatever the rule is. Team first is my motto.........no exceptions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mtlfan Posted May 12, 2010 Share Posted May 12, 2010 ^Oh my, sounds like you rule your U-8 girls team with an iron fist! What a loser statement ! Here is just one example of stupidity. Championship set for History Whitecaps and Rhinos to battle for historic title in USL First Division Championship Saturday -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- USL News Release Tuesday, September 26, 2006 ROCHESTER, NY – Saturday’s USL First Division Championship live on Fox Soccer Channel at 7:00 pm ET matches up two of the most successful franchises in the history of the league. The Championship Game is the lone separator between the three-time champion Rochester Raging Rhinos and first-time finalist Vancouver Whitecaps Sebrango’s strike against the team that had traded him in the offseason prompted a celebration that saw him remove his shirt, resulting in his second yellow of the night for a red card and automatic one-game suspension – both mandates of FIFA. Take a yellow for a good reason. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daniel Posted May 13, 2010 Share Posted May 13, 2010 There's a difference between taking a second yellow in a game (a semi-final at that!), and taking a yellow in early league play when it takes 5 to get suspended. Rocco doesn't play every game. He simply won't play for the one game he gets suspended. Have some fun, that celebration was epic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr.Impact Posted May 13, 2010 Share Posted May 13, 2010 Well this might seem like a stupid question, but i'll ask it anyway. Why is a yellow card given, when a player takes off his shirt after scoring a goal? I would venture to guess, that it has something to do with sportsmanship or wasting time.

Daniel Posted May 13, 2010 Share Posted May 13, 2010 It's a bit of both. FIFA mandated it a few years back as too many people were doing it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jeremy Posted May 14, 2010 Share Posted May 14, 2010 Personally I never understood the need to take your shirt off after a goal. There's like a hundred ways to celebrate better than this, without taking a card. Be original! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
