Go Hoops!

Once upon a time, I lived in St. Andrew's, Scotland. While there, I lived with a few Irish caddies from the Old Course who taught me to love Guiness and to hate the English. They also introduced me to a little soccer (or football, if you are inclined) team out of Glasgow known as Celtic FC. The Hoops, as they are known in those parts, have had an impressive run over the past few years; winning the Scottish League championship 5 out of their last 8 chances.

Unfortunately, they have never had much luck in the European Champion's League. That is until yesterday, when they notched a solid 2-1 win over Italian powerhouse, AC Milan. Its still early in the tournament, but its a great win and is proof that the team can play with anybody. Watch the video below to catch the game winning goal in front of a fanatical home crowd. Be sure to watch till the end when a member of that crowd rushes the field and lands a phantom blow to AC Milan's keeper (Dida) who proceeds to take one of the greatest dives of all time:

Update: The fan who rushed the field has been arrested and banned for life from Celtic matches for his stunt.
