Paraguayan soccer player apologizes for exposing penis after scoring

Paraguayan national team striker Raúl Bobadilla is facing a slap on the, er, wrist from soccer officials in the South American country after appearing to expose part of his penis while celebrating a goal.

After his 86th-minute strike on Dec. 23 sealed a win for Guarani over Primera Division rival Libertad, Bobadilla ran to the sideline and removed his shirt — an automatic yellow card under FIFA’s laws of the game — and then began to pull down his shorts, too.

While video of the incident appeared to show that Bobadilla’s bare back side was visible to half of the stadium, including the referee, the 33-year-old was not shown a red card.
