With there currently being no football to watch at the moment, football fans are keeping themselves entertained with footage of their favourite professionals juggling loo roll.
Granted, these videos don’t share the same level of unpredictability and flair as your average British footballing match.
Well, that was until Mikael Forssell and Aki Riihilahti posted footage of their attempt. In the video, Forssell appears to be alone and tosses the roll in the air to begin the juggle. Then, out of nowhere, Riihilahti appears on camera, taking out his international teammate from behind.
The video was reposted on Twitter by Crystal Palace, much to the fans’ amusement. The supporters shared a laugh at the duo’s shenanigans, with many debating whether the tackle was fair or not. Many were willing to wave play on, however, claiming that it was one of Riihilahti’s better timed tackles.
That is awesome ????

Which player would you bring back to Palace right now if you could?
Aki Riihilahti
Mikael Forssell
What do we think?
Forssell played just nine games for Palace, scoring two goals during his short spell. Riihilahti, on the other hand, made 150 appearances for the Eagles, scoring 11 goals from the midfield.
