Did Mexico Just Perform The Best Goal Celebration Of All Time?

Tired of scoring goals in their weekend annihilation of Cuba, El Tri decided to put more effort into celebrating them. But where does it stand in the rich history of over-the-top goal-scoring revelry?
January 12, 2015

In what was a routine 9-1 thumping of Cuba during the group stages of the 2015 CONCACAF U-20s Championship, Mexico pulled off a considerably less than routine goal celebration. 3-1 up after 19 minutes, El Tri rolled out this delightful human bicycle:

Quite the feat of human engineering. It certainly scores well for team-work, and clear evidence of a back rest on the saddle gives Mexico's next generation further points for style: this is undoubtedly a classic Raleigh Chopper they've constructed.

But where does it sit in the pantheon of all-time great goal celebrations? While El Tri's human bicycle certainly knocks the spots off a Nani backflip or a Francesco Totti Selfie (though the Roman scores highly for poignancy and passion), until they've assembled a body of work comparable to Stjarnan FC, the Icelanders will remain the undisputed kings of celebratory overkill.
