Wish he played in the PL - would be great for a fantasy team

He has to make up for the ones he lets in.

I've heard of this guy before. I'm sure he's not the only South American guy who runs across the pitch to score from set pieces. Is there another with (much longer) hair?

Got to say that takes balls from his side, it's not only when they're 4-0 up with 10 minutes to go. They could quite easily lose games if he doesn't sprint back up the pitch if he misses 1.

Edit- looking at some of his gotta admire some clearly great technical ability. He uses the ball well, no need for a long run up.

The other famous one was the Paraguayan Jose Luis Chilavert.

^That's the guy.

Of Ceni:"He has scored 100 goals in 950 appearances - from 43 penalties and 53 free kicks so far (February 13, 2011)." Wiki

Includes 4 in play goals! :eek:

The player who went down has awesome acting. Rolls once, gets on his knees before diving and writhing around in pain, grasping his shin...made me smile

Wonder how much extra time the match had, they must have spent 30 minutes watching fireworks

Just watched all 100 of them. He's better at set pieces than most of the England team lol!

Viper² · 28 Mar 2011 at 14:55

Wonder how many free-kicks he has missed? Or conceded goals from being so far up the pitch.

Sycho · 28 Mar 2011 at 16:23

Check Chilavert's goal vs Argentina i think it was....one of the players was about to take the free-kick yet he was taking a while and Chilavert ran all the way to it just slamming it in from 40 yards or so as soon as he got there.

Thats a mad achievement lol.

The celebration is insane.

Just reading that and I saw Sao Paulo paid €7.6m for Luis Fabiano! What a bargain.

If he wasn't in his late 30's I'd suggest him as a possible VdS replacement
