Sure, athletes may be getting bigger and stronger as the years go by, but one thing that they will always remain vulnerable to is the ever-so-dangerous shot to the nuts.  That is exactly what Athletic Bilbao’s Pablo Orbaiz had in mind when he was looking for revenge after being tripped in a Spanish league match by Getafe’s David Cortes.  Laying on the ground as his opponent stood over him, Orbaiz delivered an up-kick directly to the package of Cortes, causing him to hit the deck immediately.

It may not have had the same flair as Nuno Pinto’s no-look crotch kick, but what it lacked in style it surely made up for in brute force.  I’m sure Cortes can attest to that.

Burger King is the new sponsor of Getafe for the upcoming season and that means the popular BK symbol will be plastered on the front of the team’s jerseys, but wait.  That is not all.  The home of the Whopper added a little something else to the fun.

As if soccer celebrations were not interesting enough already, Burger King has spiced things up for the Getafe players and fans.  On the inside of the jersey, a picture of the King’s face was placed for goal celebrations.  What better way to express you excitement after a goal against Barcelona than by running around sporting a lazy-eyed Burger King face over your own.  It’s almost as good as porn star Natalia Zeta‘s celebration, which involves no shirt at all.

And just in case they aren’t sure how to use it properly, each kit comes with instructions on how to properly celebrate a goal with the King.  Something tells me Ronald McDonald soccer shoes are right around the corner.

Hat Tip – [Dirty Tackle]

“Pepe lashed out and kicked Casquero on the ground and a second swipe saw him rake his studs over the midfielder’s back. In the ensuing melee he struck Getafe’s Juan Albin in the face.”

As crazy as this sounds its not, we have video evidence of Pepe intentionally pushing then kicking Francisco Casquero twice.  After he commits the viscous foul, Pepe tries to console the wounded Casquero as he knows he’s done something wrong.

Upset and embarrassed at what he had done, Pepe had this to say to the media,

“People know this is not my style. They didn’t give a penalty when (Real Madrid striker) Gonzalo Higuain was fouled, then later Casquero was free in the area, I arrived late, and gave away the penalty. It all happened very quickly and I lost my head. I can’t explain it.”

Maybe next time Pepe will think with his head and not his deflated soccer ball.
