Euro 2012: Luis Figo Has The Goal Celebration of the Tournament So Far
Here’s Portuguese football legend Luis Figo, sitting next to Portuguese football legend Eusebio, at Thursday’s Portugal-Czech Republic quarterfinals clash in Warsaw. And here’s Luis Figo and Eusebio right after Cristiano Ronaldo’s rather definitive headed winner in the 79th minute:
Much respect to European football Gods who wear their national team jersey underneath a blazer that probably cost more than all of my worldly possessions. Also, great to see a stoic suave-ologist like Figo lose his cool in the most passionate way possible. (H/T to 101GreatGoals, as usual, on this.)
Update: Via reader Nelson Vasconcelos wants you to know that our favorite Portuguese announcer got pretty excited as well. LAAAAAAASERS!!!!!!!!!!!!!
