Ruud Van Nistelrooy Video – Holland vs Andorra
Ruud van Nistelrooy has had his share of taunting by opposition players for missing penalties.
He rarely gets the chance to avenge it in the same match though.
Against Arsenal RVN got pushed around and laughed at by Arsenal fans, and he took the taunts quietly and put the next penalty away in the next game with consummate ease and professionalism (although his post-goal celebrations suggested were a bit overexaggerated).
Against Andorra though, RVN gave up the traditional celebration for this:
I have two questions – why weren’t the Andorran players booked for taunting RVN on his missed penalty (or were they?), and since when does clapping in the face of an opponent get a yellow card and a blatant shove gets no card?

Ruud’s booking reminds me of that time Kim Milton send off Rooney for clapping in his face.
It is considered bad sportsmanship and is bookable but i guess the referee over the saw the first incident.
That cracked me up. Nice one Ruud, cheeky bastards taunting one of the best strikers around, talk about setting yourself up for a fall.
Hahahahahahaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa…. mannnnn I wish I was RVN to be doing that……. f***…. hahaha damnnnn…. LOVED IT!!! Good post Ahmed, good post… long live soccerlens!
