Hats off to the 'Hips Don't Lie' star here.

If you didn't capture the footage from Saturday then you need to get on it, because Stoke City and Switzerland forward Xherdan Shaqiri scored what will go down as a contender for goal of the tournament at Euro 2016. It made us make funny noises. https://twitter.com/NicoleHolliday/status/746716792798707712 Along with admiring the beautiful invention that was that goal, we found ourselves making several and increasingly unfunny Shakira-related puns in the immediate aftermath of Shakiri's wonder strike... because they have similar names.
