Stunning Back Flip Penalty Kick

So you say 'sawccer' is not exciting...well, you're right, most of the time.

But have you seen the Swiss Under 16 League? Of course not. Well, now you have a reason to, thanks to FC Baar's Joonas Jokinen and his stunning backflip penalty kick. Maybe if more goals were scored like this one from the spot, more Americans could find themselves taking an interest in the sport.

Personally I still find this highly unlikely, unless you take Jokinen's backlfip move and make it legal all over the pitch. Imagine, drop kicks and uppercuts via the football boot. Add in a rear-naked choke here and there, and might just make the sport violent enough to take some marketshare away from the Big 4 sports in America.

By the way, FC Baar defeated FC Sempach 3-0, thanks in part to Jokinen's new signature from the spot, which you can watch here.

  1. I made that same move on a penalty shot once. From the red line. True story.
