Siphiwe Tshabalala, owner of one of the world's most enjoyable-to-say names, scorer of the opening goal of the 2010 World Cup, has gone and scored one of the most absurd goals we have seen since...well, in a while.
Hoo, boy! What a rip.
We don't really have anything to add, save our love of saying "Tshabalala."
Tshabalala.
Tshabalala.
