I agree with Rami, I think it’s pretty clear that he was giving a Nazi salute. The possibility that he was is increased by the fact that Spartak Moscow have a large neo-Nazi following in Russia.

Anyone in America see Woody Paige talking about this on Around the Horn today? Said it showed what a weak sport soccer is. Apparently us fans always talk about how hard penalties are, and then this guy showed us how easy it really is.

Laurie… I was thinking the same thing. These teams play in the Champions League??? No wonder the same teams end up in the Champions League finals.

What a guy! Russian security is a joke, and to think the US was engaged in an arms buildup with these morons!

I am never a proponent of this sort of thing. But that said, this seemed pretty harmless and funny. The timing was perfect — seemed like none of the players knew he was coming until he took the shot. And it was a good shot. And Rami, yes, I think you’re imagining the salute.

Am I imagining this or did said pitch invader also give a nazi salute during his celebration?

P.S. Their attendance looks like a New York Red Bulls match.
