Let's Hope He Doesn't Always "Score" That Quickly

The BBC is reporting a new world record for the world's fastest goal scored in a soccer match. A player for Cowes Sports FC scored just 2.5 seconds into a match with Eastleigh Reserves. Given that soccer is not the most tightly timed of sports (extra time anyone?) I have no idea how this feat was determined. In an amateur game, no less. The only explanation given is a FA official's statement that "[t]wo-and-a-half seconds may not seem long enough to complete the manoeuvre described by the referee, but we appreciate there was an exceptionally strong wind." Well that settles that.
