The examples of the celebrations being "carefully choreographed" before hand seem to be all celebrations which are peformed in the heat of the moment. e.g. the player telling the crowd to be quiet. The famous Bebeto celebration (the baby one) I'm not sure you would class as being "carefully choreographed", the player scoring the goal probably knew what he was going to do, but his team-mates are usually just copying his actions.

"Raúl invariably kisses the ring finger of his left hand after a goal, a salute to his wife." While the Raul celebration is a salute to his wife, is it ""carefully choreographed"? Does Raul practice kissing his wedding ring before games?

Would Mark Bresciano's extremely odd celebration habit of standing still as a statue [1] be worth adding here? -- Chuq 11:25, 26 March 2007 (UTC)

What about Thierry Henry and Emmanuel Adebayor's unique dance celebration that was demonstrated during their premier league exploits? Screwboat 15:00, 8 May 2007 (UTC)

Actually I believe that Tim Cahill got his celebration from Archie Thompson at the 2006 WC and not vice-versa. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 87.102.148.17 (talk) 06:29, 6 December 2007 (UTC)

Can anyone explain the 'A' sign that players make with their hands? These seems to have cropped up in the Premier League in the last few weeks. Shindigo (talk) 18:28, 17 December 2007 (UTC)
