Argentine goalkeeper gets hamburger thrown at him, then eats it (VIDEO)

The Argentine first division game between Racing and Belgrano on Saturday was about as exciting as the 0-0 final score would indicate, but Belgrano's goalkeeper Juan Olave did something that made it a little more interesting.

During the match, a fan tossed a hamburger at the long-haired Belgrano, and he proceeded to pick it up and nonchalantly take a couple bites.



It's better than fireworks and they do love their meat down there in Argentina.

Dog interrupts Argentine soccer match, gets petted and carried around (VIDEO)

An Argentina Primera Division soccer match between Belgrano and Quilmes had to be halted late in the first half when a lost dog wandered onto the pitch.

Instead of chasing away the curious pooch, Quilmes' Sebastián Romero decided to calm the nervous black Labrador down with a belly rub.


The dog was then gently carried off the field by another Quilmes player, Jonathan Zaccaria to cheers from the crowd.



However, another team-mate, Joel Carli, was in no mood for the adorable bonding and barked out orders for Zaccaria to speed things up.


Boo.

Argentinos Juniors fan tosses dentures at coach during team's loss

An Argentinos Juniors fan was so fed up at the miserable season his team was having he threw his fake teeth at the head coach while the coach was arguing a call on the pitch.

Monday's 3-1 loss  to Belgrano was just too much for the unidentified fan who hurled his phony uppers at Ricardo Caruso Lombardi while fans unleashed a chorus of boos and threatening chants against the last place club which has lost five straight.

Announcers from Argentina's TV Pública took in the bizarre scene from the broadcast booth while cameras zoomed in on the dentures that landed a few feet from an oblivious Lombardi, who was arguing in vain with the fourth referee in the dying moments of the match.

"I've never seen anything like this ... key chains, radios, shoes, but teeth?"





Dentures were just one of the things hurled at Lombardi and his players by fans at Diego Maradona Stadium.



 Despite the dire situation and one toothless fans' hatred of him, Lombardi was confident, even defiant, during Monday's post-game press conference.

"I have the balls that are needed to prevail. And if we have to go [to the second division], we'll do it with our heads held high."

As for the still unknown denture-throwing culprit, just look for the guy gumming his chorizo in the stands.
