The Inaugural "Caught it on the UpBounce"

When a certain Retired Ginger Prince and I are engaged in one of our twice-daily Fifa battles, there will be 25 shots that careen wildly over the net for every one goal from distance. Thus, we've created an excuse to be used in every situation where someone tries to belt one home from distance and ends up decapitating a 2-dimensional fan in row Z. We just exclaim "Whoop, caught it on the upbounce!" The blame is transferred to the game, and everyone goes home happy.

This does not only happen in Fifa, however. Today in the Champions League play-in stages, an unknown midfielder from FC Zurich put on his Gerrard pants and tried to boom one in from many a mile away. Needless to say, he caught it on the upbounce:


Sorry for the shoddy video quality, but shout out to Greg's iPhone for the technology. 

Bayern was 1 goal to the good at this point, and miserable finishing by the Swiss enabled the Germans to move on to the group stage of the Champions League. Stay tuned for exclusive coverage of the UCL all season long!
