Cobrastrike? COBRASTRIKE?!

So I'm not sure who saw the PSG - Marseille game tonight (I know Kyle did, as he was sitting next to me) but WTF?! The first 45 was awesome - solid tackles, lots of emotion from both sides, and a crowd-pleasing even 1-1 at the break. The Marseille goal celebration entailed ZENDEN of all people mounting a (apparently) fragile box, and then fell into it. Then PSG answered with a pretty sick fast break. So far, so good. However, after Makelele got his second yellow and was subsequently removed from the field, Marseille managed the unthinkable - the COBRA! Kyle and I couldn't believe it, and could not stop screaming COBRASTRIKE?!, with the proper interrobang inflection. The rest was history, as OM managed to pinch off another, just to really crap on the hearts of PSG fans. Another great time at Corcoran's Irish Pub in Bastille, Paris - too bad the home team lost.

However, we can all agree that the real thrillers of the match came not from the Parisians, but from fricken clumsy, firm assed ZENDEN and monsieur Cobrastrike.

The ball never touched the ground, so it is technically a "spitting cobra."
