Soccer: Man scores on his own goal, costs his team the game

Soccer, football, the beautiful game. Whatever you call it, it's a pretty big deal all around the world. Armenia faced off against the Republic of Ireland in a recent match in the qualifying round for the Euro 2012 tournament. Ireland ended up winning the match by a margin of 1 goal, one of their goals was conceded by a player on the opposing team. The fact that the deciding goal in the match was an own-goal is tragic. For Armenia, the fact that as a result of this own-goal, Ireland advances to the next round is adding insult to injury.
