UFL Rant N Rave Top 3: Best Goal Celebrations

Goal-celebrations are as much a part of football as the goals themselves. We all know of Tim Cahill's 'boxing Aussie', Nani's acrobatic flips, Peter Crouch's robot dance, and the list goes on. And perhaps the most entertaining set of routines would have to be that of Icelandic side Stajrnan football club.         [Video: Icelandic Team Celebrations ]
 In the UFL's current season, we have seen a few notable goal-rejoicing. Here is our top 3:
Eric Dagroh Dance: You've seen it during the UFL Cup, and again during Kaya versus Air Force. The man they call 'The Dagger' bustamoves after getting one in. We would never know to what beat,  but a source from Kaya says, "in his mind, he is dancing the waka-waka". [VIDEOEric Dagroh goal vs Air Force ].
Roel Gener Acrobatics: Up in the sky, it's a bird, it's Jhong Hilario. No it's Roel Gener. I give the perfectly-placed header a 9, and the somersault-backflip celebration a 10. [VIDEORoel Gener vs Nomads ].
Carli De Murga Pose: Tebowing? Not quite. The Filipino-Spanish fullback notches his second league goal via a penalty kick against Green Archers United. To celebrate, he either points to dedicate it to someone back in EspaƱa or shows GAU how big his bow & arrow is. Or a Rexona moment. [See photo above].
