An Icelandic football team that became a global
Internet hit after a fun goal celebration admitted they now felt
under pressure to make fans laugh.
Millions went online to watch the video on YouTube of Halldor
Orri Bjornsson and his teammates celebrating a goal during a league
match in July by pretending to fish and bringing in a player on an
imaginary line.
"We did not expect celebrations from a team in a premier league
in Iceland to get all this attention", Bjornsson said about
Stjarnan FC's newfound stardom.
"Now we are under a lot of pressure. It was hard to do better
than "The Angler", but since then we came up with "The Bicycle" and
"The Birth"... we are trying to stay fresh", he said, as his club
sits 6th in the 12-team league.
Ideas for novel celebrations came after training, Bjornsson
explained. "We decided do something funny, there is a good morale
in the squad and we kind of took it from there."
As for the famous "Angler", Bjornsson thought that one up when
on a fishing trip with his father.
"I told the guys about it... and everybody liked it," and the
rest has made Internet history.
