Of all the ways of winning a free kick, pretending to be floored by a piece of cloth has to be the worst

In a recent  match between Corinthians and Palmeiras, (fat) Ronaldo managed to score his first Campeonato Brasileiro Série A goal in over 15 years.

This wasn’t the only historic event to take place during the game, however, as Argentinean midfielder Sergio Escudero became the first player stupid enough to pretend to be struck by a linesman’s flag. Quite what was going through his mind when he attempted this crappy bit of play-acting is anyone’s guess.
