There's nothing worse that a young fella with notions.

Thailand's Buriram United and Japan's Gamba Osaka were playing in the AFC Champions League recently, and the scoring was opened, in some considerable style, by Buriram's Theeraton Bunmathan. Bunmathan's perfect inswinging left-footed corner kick deceived everyone, looping over the goalkeeper before nestling into the net at the far post. Much like an eight year old does when he scores on the local green, the Thai fullback decided the best way to celebrate was to pretend he's the best player in the world, as he copied Ronaldo's famous goal celebration frame for frame. Having said that, he has the celebration down to an absolute tee. Be your own man, for God's sake! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f-ByevLmdGY
