Today’s Video: Bye bye birdie

Note: In order to make up for the lack of blogging on Thursday we’ll publish several posts over the weekend.

The highlight of Wednesday’s Argentine soccer playoff game between San Lorenzo and Tigre does not correspond to any of the goals or great saves. Rather, it has to do with a pigeon that was at the wrong place at the wrong time.

(Video not safe for animal lovers):

The player who inadvertently killed the bird- San Lorenzo defender Gaston Aguirre- was remorseful and confessed that he “will be remembered as the pigeon killer.” Perhaps that won’t be the case on Saturday.
