Shaolin Soccer is Real in Brazil

I thought the movie Shaolin Soccer was done with CGI, but apparently I was wrong. It was filmed in Brazil with real actors, and no digital effects were used.

What you can't see is the goalie bursting into flame and exploding shortly afterwards, a move given almost as much applause by the crowd as the goal itself. YouTube commenter, FTW:
Now Real are going to buy him for 50 Million Euros

Now, now. Real wouldn't buy him for 50 million Euros. They have to wait in line behind Dan Snyder, who doesn't know exactly what he'd do with him but SHINY THING GIMME GIMME. Actually, that's a joke, too. Snyder doesn't get really excited about overpaying for free agents until he knows they're over 30. Then he gets out the fire hose that sprays money and gems and turns it on full blast in their direction.

That’s just ONE GOAL, though.  Did you see the whole Falcão highlight reel?

My personal favorite has to be dancing on the ball for about five seconds right in front of the goalie, two yards in front of goal, and then finishing to the right with his left foot.  CROSS-LEGGED.  You have to see that one to believe it.

one thing to point out, that is the defender not the goalie, the goalie has the ball kicked over his head. still that is some serous comentment on the defenders part.

Dude has got some sick a$$ moves.  He makes defenders look stupid!!!   I am wondering why there hasn’t been much more pub about him???    Like shorterperson advises above, check out the entire Falcao highlights.
