Interesting Superstitions in Football --Sergio_Goycochea

The Argentinian goalkeeper took his superstitious practice to another level. There is rule in football, where you cannot leave the pitch before the game ends. In a world cup quarter-final match against Yugoslavia, he had his nature’s call, and as he could not leave the pitch, he had to urinate on the pitch itself.

He performed well in the shootouts and Argentina won. He did this again against Italy and Argentina won again. After he made this a practice to do this before every penalty shootouts and he considered it his lucky charm.
