Who says you can't use your hands in soccer? Of course you can. I'm not talking about Maradona's "Hand of God" (if you are English take a deep breath) or Beckham's newest Italian hand moisturizer. I'm talking about the creative ways we manipulate all ten of our digits to express the joyous rapture of scoring a goal.

The Soccer Quiz is this: Name the owners of each of the eight goal celebrating hands pictured below. Share your answers with us in the comments.


Celebration #1:Celebration #2:Celebration #3:
Celebration #4:
Celebration #5:
Celebration #6:
Celebration #7: Celebration #8:

Want the answers? I'll post them at http://corvallissoccer.ning.com/forum/topics/great-goal-celebrations next week so you can see how you did.

#2 = The Robot by that tall skinny crappy english guy

#4 = Ronaldinho

Ronaldinho = 1
Peter Crouch = 2
Bebeto = 3 ?

It might be easier to know if we were talking the 80s, 90s, 00s, or all time periods?

I think #8 is Tim Cahill (Everton?)

David Norris (Ipswich Town) got fined for doing the same celebration in the Championship earlier this season.
