Sometimes, succeeding in sports is all about being in the right place at the right time.
A group of pickup soccer players in Argentina learned that lesson recently as they watched a dog scamper onto their field and actually score a goal.
As you'll see in the video below, a young man swings the ball past the goalie and (accidentally, we think and hope), hits the dog standing at the far post. The dog, of course, heads the ball home for a score

Clearly offside...
(And you won’t see the dog go into theatrics complaining to the officials ;)
Does he get a Old Yeller card?
No, but the CSPA (Canine Soccer Players Association) has filed a lawsuit claiming that the league hasn’t done enough to prevent head injuries in their members.
They’ve indicated that they’re willing to settle for kibble, treats, and a good belly-rub from club officials any time they ask for it.
Should have been disallowed - he’s a mile off-side.
Dude. Air Bud did this yeeeears ago.
Well, finally a non beer-related dog has done it. Air Bud was non union, anyway.
