And the Oscar goes to.....


With the Oscar Awards being presented this Sunday, and all the nominees announced, there is one person out there who is making a late push for his consideration.

Chilean player Bryan Carrasco ought to earn an honorable mention for his antics.  With Chile trailing Ecuador 1-0, Carrasco grabbed his opponent's arm, using it to smack himself in the face; his sole intention of course was to get the guy sent off.  Unluckily for him, the referee was not impressed by his act, and gave free kick against him instead.  Ecuador went on to win the game.

Whatcha say about my mama?
Carrasco should have got tips from Italian player Marco Materazzi on how to get someone sent off.  For those unfamiliar with the story, Materazzi "provoked" French star Zinedine Zidane into headbutting him during the 2006 World Cup Final, by saying some not so flattering things about Zidane's mother and sister.  Zidane earned a red card and Italy went on to win the World Cup.

Maybe when his football career is over, he should consider switching to acting; he looks like he's got some talent.  For your entertainment, check out the video below.
