Could you guess?
No engagement, head butt or red card involved in this image at all.
Despite the complete lack of sliding across the turf, flashing of over-developed abs, jumping on each others backs, playing of stacks on the mill, punching of corner flags, giving of esoteric hand signals, crawling along the ground like goannas, pulling off of shirts or performing of back flips this is actually a goal celebration. A really cool goal celebration.
Despite the shyness and humility of the striker and the attacking mid-fielder (responsible for the assist) you can see the unbridled joy on their faces. They didn’t need to put on a show… but what a glorious moment of “thank you” and “congratulations.” Its just a couple of junior members of a regional first grade women’s soccer team having a good time. Take note, World Cup players and other soccer professionals. This is a goal celebration to die for!
