American Michael Bradley scored a huge goal for A.S. Roma on Sunday, netting the lone tally in the 82nd minute against Udinese. The win saw the Italian soccer club tie a record for the best start in Serie A (Italian first division) history at 9-0.
It was an exciting moment for Roma fans, and radio announcer Carlo Zampa certainly did not skimp on his call. As Bradley’s strike crossed the goal line, Zampa let out a number of high-pitched shrieks before repeatedly screaming “Lex Luthor!”
Your guess as to what connection a Superman villain has to Italian soccer is as good as ours (Bradley and Luthor are both bald, maybe?).
