THE COUCH — Imagine that your family and friends have come over to your house to watch the big game. There are chicken wings, soft pretzels, licorice, mozzarella sticks and pizzas on the counter. Your new TV is perfectly mounted to the wall. Yes, you have all the ingredients of a perfect viewing experience.

Your team scores three goals in the first half and it seems that victory is almost guaranteed. When your favorite player nets an insurance goal, your excitement level is off the charts.

Then you get kicked in the face by your cousin.

As you can see, being a sports fan in Caserta, Italy, comes with its share of hazards. Even in the comfort of your own home a celebration can go from jubilant to painful.

"During the celebration for the victory of the Italian national football team, Carlo involuntarily receives a blow to the face," the caption succinctly explains.

We feel your pain, Carlo. Hopefully, you have healed up from this unfortunate face kick and you can enjoy many more seasons of watching the national team without injury.
