Gremio’s Douglas takes a leak on the Maracana pitch surrounded by a team huddle

Well, nothing gets your team geed up for a match more than forming a huddle while one player takes a knee and proceeds to urinate on the pitch. This was the thinking behind Gremio’s Douglas as he marked his territory on the Maracana pitch by cocking a leg and letting a stream of urine trickle out from his shorts.

Unfortunaltey for Douglas, the pre match ritual didn’t prove to have the desired motivational affect as Gremio played out an uneventful 0-0 draw with Fluminense in the Copa do Brazil.

Perhaps for Douglas, when nature calls, everything else takes a back seat, even if that means taking a piss at the most inopportune time. Much like this fan found out when he popped to the porter cabin, only to miss a goal.
