Hulk soccer star sends goalkeeper through the net

He shoots, he scores!

In a shot that is too good to be true, 28-year-old international soccer superstar Givanildo Vieira de Sousa, aka “The Hulk,” lives up to his nickname when his single kick of a soccer ball sends the goalie flying through the back of the net.

Many are calling this video a PR stunt, and they are correct. The whole thing was most likely staged for the Hulk’s first day of pre-season training.  It also looks like the hole was cut out of the net in advance.

Hoax or not, it hasn’t stopped the video from going viral. The 13-second clip has more than 6 million views.
