Eww! New penalty craze dislocates goalkeeper’s arm!

Penalty goes in, arm goes out

It wasn’t so long ago that The Spoiler caught wind of a new penalty craze sweeping the football world. It involves a pre-shot dummy, followed by a good old fashioned thwack, and is known as a “paradinha” – which means “little stop” in Portuguese. It was suggested that “air kick” or “oxygen swipe” might fit quite nicely, but apparently not.

Anyway, as with all zany new tricks, there will be victims, and the first to feel the cold chill of humiliation is this Brazilian goalkeeper (above), who was so flummoxed by the move that his arm snapped back the wrong way.

Ouch.
