Finnish soccer team celebrates goal with a routine inspired by ‘Pokemon Go’

Pokemon has invaded every sport.

by Tim Cato

Pokemon Go is sports, and it has also become sports for college football, minor league baseball, NBA free agency andboxing. Now Pokemon Go moves onto a natural next step: European soccer celebrations.

These are players for Rovaniemen Palloseura, a team in the premiere Finnish soccer league Veikkausliiga, celebrating a goal with a Pokemon Go-inspired routine. Can we call it a Pokemon Goal now?

(sorry about that)
