Last night in Scotland, Celtic shocked AC Milan in the Champions League with this 90th minute goal. During the ensuing hysteria, a fan ran onto the field and brutally assaulted Dida, the Brazilian keeper hardened by years in the unforgiving shit-hell chamber of toughness that is Italy's Serie A.
Let's all pray that Dida is okay.

Soon he will be crossing that Rainbow Bridge.
I've said it before and I'll say it again: those foreigners sure do love their futbol.
Did he have a knife in his hand or soemthing? Because if he didn't, I don't understand how that little slap caused him to get taken off on a stretcher.
Me thinks if he hadn't just given up a game losing goal, he wouldn't have succumbed to the slap so easily.
Holy crap, I didn't know Johnny Fairplay played goalie for Brazil.
What exactly am I missing here…..it looks like the fan barely touched the goalie's cheek with an open hand, the goalie starts chasing him, and then drops like he got hit with an invisible baseball bat ala Clock Work Orange.
AC Milan < Celtic < USA All-Stars =
USA All-Stars > AC Milan =
MLS > Scottish PL + Italia Serie A
MLS=Tits
And might I add "Hahden the fuck up, Dida."
Monica Seles thinks Dida is a pussy.
He Ric Flair'd him. WOOOOOOO!!!
I think Dida has been in the Serie A for too long.
Interesting fact: The average Scottish sentence only contains 3 words. The other sounds are grunts used for emphasis. I saw that on the Discovery Channel once.
I was positive that guy had slashed Dida's throat with a razor, and I checked the news in the hope that Dida survived the blood loss caused by the vicious gash across his jugular. Then, I realized this was a soccer highlight, the land masculinity forgot.
Again proving my point that soccer is for fags. I hope that Dida's mouth isnt affected later when he has to fellate the rest of those pansy wop ball jugglers.
Worst. Flop. Ever.
Yeah, that looked like a flop.
@Lance Martini, BTW +1
What a vagina.
Folks, this and the acceptance of this kind of wussified behavior (multiple people were involved in carrying the stretcher… STRETCHER!!!) is why soccer/football will never eeevar make it big in America.
Dido > Dida
In the goalie's defense, 9/11 changed everything.
and Doo doo > Dido
How about a "Not For The Squeamish" warning or something like that? Fuck, Matt, what if there were kids around?
I'd say the Italians need a tough, hardened enforcer like Vince Carter to settle these types of violent shenanigans.
He was just honoring Marcel Marceau's death.
"De Doo Doo Doo, De Da Da Da" is a good song.
was it because he didn't say "MI SCUZZI!"
Give him credit for sacrificing the body; that guy's got a family to think about!
@mikeski – "Doo doo doo (Heartbreaker)" is also quite good.
Fucking FUTBOL is for fags…..Except when they are banging their hot wives….
I like how every diver assumes nobody's watching or filming the incident.
Pray for Dida?? We should pray for Omarion.
These guys can't even take an assault from a fan like men. How can anyone take soccer players seriously when they can't even stand up to a tap on the cheek?
Wow, this guy flopped almost as bad as Chad Pennington and his hangnail.
Mangina: Pennington's hangnail is more severe than we thought, so it's safe to assume he'll be going on the IR.
I'd like to point out that it was only when the goalie, a professional athlete, realized that couldn't catch up to the *speedy* drunken fan that he was overwhelmed by his grievous wounds.
Before that, the gutsy warrior going HARD on pure adrenaline. Going. For those three or four mincing steps. Then…stretcher time.
Wasn't it in the last Olympics when one player kicked the ball to an opponent waiting to take a corner kick, the ball bounced of the opponents shin, he grabbed his HEAD and dropped like sack of testicle-less crap?
Yeah, Becks will overcome all this. Yup. Bet on it.
Dida must be Portugese for Douche
De Doo Doo Doo, De Da Da Da
What did Shannon Sharpe just say?
I've got a leprechaun shanty playing in my head when we see the fan skip onto the pitch. Kind of like the melody in Spinal Tap when we see a"replica monument of stonehenge on stage that was in danger of being crushed… by a dwarf"
Man Card Status: REVOKED!
The sad thing is Dida once took a flare to the face during a game and didn't fall this hard. Italy is seriously pussifying this guy. Dida was probably running to get his Gucci man purse to hit the fan with.
note to dida: just cause you get da pussay doesn't mean you need to act like one.
Did you see how that fan's turn of pace left Dida for dead? There's a lot to be said for the Scottish daily diet of deep fried Mars bars, Buckfast and a few grams of speed. Breakfast of Champions!
"Take the fall. Act hurt. Get indignant!" – Gordon Bombay
haha, Buckfast. Check out the comments section of any youtube clip regarding Buckfast. Everyone's shitboxed. It must be crack in a bottle. This was a classic radio1 in joke with a clip of a connoisseur of said beverage. [www.youtube.com]
Ah OK.
I was at the Celtic vs AC Milan game last night (I'm a season ticket holder) and I think this article needs some clearing up. First off, the game was amazing, we just bet the best club Football (Soccer) team in the world.
Dida has a reputation for doing this – he is a play actor. The fan disgraced Celtic with his actions – Celtic's support are known in the Football world as being amongst the friendliest, good natured fans around. We took 80,000 traveling support fans to a final 3 years ago, and no-one was arrested for anything on the day of the game.
So what this fan did was crazy, but believe me, as I was only yards away, it was nothing more than a tap on the neck. He didn't have a knife and handed himself in today to be punished (life-time ban from Celtic Park).
But Dida is a total idiot. He's an embarrassment to football and he needs to be punished for being such a prick. Also, he needs to learn how to run faster – that Celtic fan was wasted at the time.
Hope that clears things up – it may well be the most boring post in the websites history, but it was needed.
Also, Mr Horse,
Breakfast of Champions indeed, I can't start my day without all that nutritious chip-pan oil.
