Seattle Sounders’ Chad Barrett hurts himself celebrating goal

The best feeling in soccer followed by quite possibly the worst feeling in soccer.

In a game as long and meticulously planned as soccer, an early goal can mean the difference between ending with a win and leaving with a loss. That’s why Seattle Sounders’ Chad Barrett was ecstatic after scoring in only the 50th second of play.

But immediately after scoring the goal on the LA Galaxy, Barrett fell with what looked like a hamstring injury. Luckily, he was able to get up and walk on his own power. Hopefully Barrett won’t miss much action due to the injury. Let’s file this event under the Bill Gramática and Gus Frerotte injuries of the sports world.
