A Seal Clubbing in Brazilian Football

Remember the first time you saw the Brazilian footballer Kerlon perform his amazingly silly seal dribble act? You probably wondered how long it would take before an opposing player would club him like a baby seal. It happened this weekend during the Belo Horizonte derby when Atletico Mineiro’s Coelho chopped down the Cruzeiro striker, touching off a brawl as you can see in the video above. “I don’t think he should do that in a derby,” Atletico goalscorer Marinho whined after the match. “I hope he learns, he could have got hurt.” Actually, I hope he doesn’t learn. Kerlon’s seal move is ridiculous but it is entertaining, especially when it ends with a forearm shiver.

There's nothing illegal about the foquinha. If the Atletico players don't like it, they should find a better way to play.

Raposas comem galos. Good luck in Serie B, Galos.

Greatest seal clubbing ever.

that's probably the best youtube'd soccer vid ever...especially the part where the teammate obviously bends down and screams "HOW BOUT THEM APPLES?!?" in portuguese.

That's a clever move -- must be irritating as heck for defenders. :)

Atletico Mineiro, is my favorite club of all time and since im brasilian, im so passionate about them, cruzeiro is our rival and we HATE them sooo much. i think the player shouldnt be doing that in a rival game so it was obvious that Coelho would hit him. oh well

GAAAAAAAAALLOOOOOOOOO !!!!!!!
