Something new from the heading " The story behind the famous quotes ". Increases in the Colombian championship game between Atletico Junior and America. Suddenly the opposing striker suffered an apparent seizure and sleep breaks in no man's land of offside position, alone and away from friend and foe together fall and majestically. This could never have been in life a swallow, no player in the world would have thought to get away with something. Well, but the Colombian championship would not be the Colombian championship, if it does not exist yet Penalty. But behold themselves:

Byron Moreno rules!

From the series: The story behind the famous quotations.

Quote: Giro giro tondo / Casca il mondo / casca la terra / tutti giù by terra.
(Turn around and around / the world falls down / falls to the earth down / all on the ground)

Who said it: An ancient nursery rhyme, whose origins lie in the dark

When: What I know, pretty old

History: One of the simplest and most widespread Italian nursery rhymes. The children form a circle and hold each others hands, while the above text crowed loudly as possible and of course the highlight comes at the end when all throw themselves with the final line on the floor. Probably no Italian child grows up without having to have practiced this exercise a few thousand times with undiminished enthusiasm, which of course affects the behavior of Italian striker in the penalty area (see Pippo Inzaghi). The "Song" is now ubiquitous in Italian kindergartens, even if the origins date back to safety a few centuries. These games are part of Italian culture and oral tradition bekant in all landscapes, dominated by the Austrian Friuli to southern Sicily - with slight variations typical of the region.
