CRISTIANO RONALDO SEES YELLOW AFTER REMOVING HIS SHIRT
In the soccer world there are rules, like in any other sports.
One of those rules is that you NEVER take off your shirt before the game is over, it is ok to get shirtless for the final victory but it is conceder offensive to do so during the game.
During his first home match since his ankle injury last night, not only did Cristiano Ronaldo set up Madrid's first goal he also managed to get a yellow card for removing his shirt in celebration of his goal as you can see on the picture above [source]
"Taking off my shirt was an instinctive reaction. I know that I made a mistake but I'm human. I didn't want to do it."
I think Cristiano should wait for his new Emporio Armani underwear campaign to show us some skin!
And if a picture is worth a thousand words ... a video is worth a million ;-)
So where is that rule written? You can get a yellow card for unsportsmanlike behaviour, but that is a matter of discretion.
