Goal!

Both the Silver Vixen and the Gorse Fox enjoy watching (good) football. Reading the write-ups on matches that they have watched often produces confusion as the pundits evidently have watched an entirely different game. For wahtever reason GF+SV missed the Real Madrid last night. Reading the write-up here, however, it seems we missed a fairly unique game:

t was a European night and Raúl was prepared for one more achievement, if that was possible, in the history of football. In the ninth minute, he headed a banana from Beckham, the number ‘7’, a great captain, left behind Alfredo Di Stéfano on the list of highest goalscorers in Europe and with Real Madrid.

Now, GF has watched a lot of football over the years (and played a great deal of it)... but a banana?
