Soccer player in Sweden stuffs ball under his shirt (Video)



On Monday, a soccer player in the Swedish second division earned himself a yellow card for catching a soccer ball underneath his shirt.

It happened late in the game as Hammarby was running out the clock with a monumental 5-0 lead over Degerfors. The big lead may have caused Norwegian Jan Gunnar Solli, a defender for Hammarby, to get a little carried away when accepting a pass from a teammate.  Granted that Solli didn't touch the ball with his hands, but the referees had no choice but to penalize him for the illegal move.  Otherwise, everyone would start doing it.

Now that's something you don't see every day...at a professional level, at least.  Little kids do this sort of thing all the time.
