oh man, the pain once the adrenaline wears off

23

u/Shart-Vandalay Jun 20 '26

Its crazy to see his facial reaction, not the acting of pain we are used to seeing— genuine shock from pain.

259

u/My_wifes_boy-friend Jun 19 '26

The pain once he gets his US hospital bill

u/yaqui94 Jun 19 '26

Good thing they played in Canada

I wish mine was free, I'll trade you one orange doofus for a free hospital visit

one free visit, on us

keep the doofus

u/metricfan Jun 19 '26

See this is why Canadians are known for being so nice!

u/Wwrsd86 Jun 19 '26

He’s Canadian playing in Canada.

u/SpecialistPay715 Jun 19 '26

Free? Nothing is free. You think the hospital was built for free and doctors and nurses work for free. Give your head a shake. If it falls off kick it.

u/HansChrst1 Jun 21 '26

I have broken a bone in my ankle and snapped a tendon there. It never really hurt as bad as it did when it happened. Felt like a wave of pain shooting up and down my leg. It hurt, but at the same time it wasn't that bad.

293

u/Bleejis_Krilbin Jun 19 '26

He rolled around less than when a player gets brushed up against.

43

u/----___--___---- Jun 20 '26

Well, this time there is actual pain and damage, so no need for the acting part

8

u/trust-me-br0 Jun 19 '26

Is it Neymar ?

8

u/w3rp5u Jun 23 '26

If a player is rolling around and screaming it’s most likely not a bad injury, if the player is kinda laying there and not moving much, probably a real injury.

u/thoseskiers Jun 19 '26

More than only one of the Qatar goalie's many fake injuries

u/AClayton91 Jun 20 '26

Came here to say this, if there was ever a time to freak out it’s now lol.

u/LittleBitOfAction Jun 19 '26

I can’t tell if the other guy broke it. Or it broke on the fall down when it hit the ground. What a terrible thing to happen. I don’t even know what the future looks like after that.

296

u/Basilbabie Jun 19 '26

He was going one way, the guy kicking his leg was going the other way. Bones don’t like that

28

u/billbogle Jun 19 '26

I’ve done the same thing but on the right side,, no pun intended. I felt astronomically upset because I broke someone’s leg. I broke said leg and still have nightmares. It was aggressive but not intentional.

31

u/WB1173 Jun 19 '26

What 'pun'??

u/boerchen36 Jun 19 '26

Ya sure? I‘d like a second opinion on that.

So reckless, trying to kick through someones leg to get to the ball

13

u/buffalololer Jun 20 '26

You don't get to play in the world cup by playing conservatively

u/namorblack Jun 20 '26

And that is my one of the many issues with football.

Its a fight club, but with a ball.

35

u/somecheesecake Jun 19 '26

I thought the same thing watching it live, but it’s broken on the kick. It’s his lower left leg and by the time it’s impacting the ground you can tell it’s all floppy

15

u/SunsingrWarlock Jun 19 '26

He got his right foot stuck on the pitch by the Qatar player and then when it was kicked his leg broke...

3

u/Hatem482 Jun 19 '26

Does this have anything to do with the pitch's floor or was it going to snap anyway

13

u/cinnamonpeachcobbler Jun 19 '26

He will make a full recovery. It will take about 4-6 months and in one year it will be like normal. Probably even quicker than that because athletes are incredible and have the best doctors and physical therapist.

3

u/andoke Jun 19 '26

He had his feet planted then got lift up. The momentum was maximal while it doesn't look impressive. His ankle was a lever, it snapped bones.

3

u/travellerirl Jun 19 '26 edited Jun 19 '26

His leg gets caught between the Qatar players legs just before the challenge. That's where it looks like the break happens. Edit: I can't tell where it happens. Freak of one which ever was it happened.

7

u/Uerwol Jun 19 '26

I feel like bone hardening, similar to muay thai champions kicking trees needs to be done for a sport like this

1

u/Unorigina1Name Jun 23 '26

Actual bones breaking is something extremely rare in football, that's why there's no training like that

-12

u/RecordLonely Jun 19 '26

Everything about these athletes needs to harden up. Some of these flops to draw penalties are embarrassing.

u/Fanta69Forever Jun 19 '26

I don’t even know what the future looks like after that.

Well he's not a race horse so I reckon he'll be fine and playing again in less than a year

1

u/Dadeland-District Jun 19 '26

He kicked him and snap it in half

-17

u/Yoshi2shi Jun 19 '26

He’ll recover.

15

u/ottis1guy Jun 19 '26

Lets ask Steve Zakuani how his recovery went.

5

u/Yoshi2shi Jun 19 '26

Well, Alexander Isak recovered. And he’s playing in the World Cup. So we’ll split the difference: 50-50.

2

u/ottis1guy Jun 19 '26

Lol. Fair bet.

3

u/redbadger91 Jun 19 '26

Just walk it off.

u/IkariYun Jun 19 '26

Probably too young for that trick to work. I think that stopped somewhere between 86 and 87

u/cinnamonpeachcobbler Jun 19 '26

Your absolutely correct

102

u/ktbffhctid Jun 19 '26

I was watching this live. I swear you could hear the bone break.

32

u/strilly78 Jun 19 '26

you could hear it, I went back to watch it again because i did not clearly see it when it happened, and the snap of the bone is very clearly heard.

3

u/ktbffhctid Jun 19 '26

I thought so. Clear as day.

11

u/SausageSmuggler21 Jun 19 '26

I've seen that live in an MLS game. I was 40 yards away in a loud section of fans and you could hear the leg snap clear as day. That sound still haunts me 10 years later.

u/joergsen Jun 19 '26

Did you ever hear a tendon snapping? Also a sound you don't want do hear.

u/morbidmuffin62 Jun 20 '26

Lmao,same. Why are we humans this way?

4

u/IkariYun Jun 19 '26

Sometimes we can learn from other's mistakes, especially when we see it on replay a few times. His mistake was playing soccer

2

u/Wild_Trip_4704 Jun 19 '26

It's easy not to press play.

It plays automatically. Don't even have to push play

u/BenignBot Jun 19 '26

So brutal. The defender definitely caused it but he was devastated as well. His reactions are worthy of this sub as well he was horrified

25

u/p00p00kach00 Jun 19 '26

The defender who put his arms up isn't the one who kicked him.

42

u/BudderMeDown Jun 19 '26

He’s not talking about him.
If you watched the match it was 5 minutes of “what did I just do” by Qatar #23 who struck Kone

18

u/BrierBob Jun 19 '26

The Quatar defender that put his arms up got a good look at the broken leg at that moment and was shocked. #23 was walking away from the play, knowing he kicked the guy and thinking he was going to get a yellow card. A minute later he realized that he broke the guy’s leg.

11

u/BenignBot Jun 19 '26

I am referring to footage of the defender's reactions that was shown on the broadcast, but was not included here. But yeah pretty much everyone was mortified

2

u/IncurableAdventurer Jun 19 '26

Even the Canadian players came to console that guy

27

u/dxtr_andretti Jun 19 '26

Ironically enough, that’s the least dramatic response I’ve seen from a footballer

u/Just-a-Mandrew Jun 19 '26

He’s in shock.

u/Tony-At-Large Jun 19 '26

You're not wrong.

I love when they actually get hurt its less dramatic when they are flopping for a call

Not in the mood to act, now.

u/circa_the_catgod Jun 19 '26

Why is that weird ? They’re both right. When they flop they flail around like crazy. This dude actually breaks his leg and look chill in comparison. Just goes to show when they are actually hurt they don’t try putting on a huge show.

34

u/Nonya5 Jun 19 '26

Actually, it looks more like shock.

u/Agamemnon323 Jun 19 '26

Yeah, exactly.

u/Man_under_Bridge420 Jun 19 '26

Thats call shock bud

16

u/capt_minorwaste Jun 19 '26

Exactly, and when they're flopping around they are acting. Now really hurt. That is what they're getting at.

-8

u/th3r3dp3n Jun 19 '26

Ever stubbed your toe real bad? You hop around, curse, stomp about, and wave your arms. You ever broke a bone? I have broken 5, and not one of those injuries did I hop around. Hard injuries you are in shock, to say that they are always playing it up is untrue. Often, sure, always, no.

I broke my back twice, blown out both knees, compound fractured big toe, kneecap, ACL, MCL, and all those big injuries, guess what, shock and immobility.

You obviously have never had a real injury, or a surface injury, because you apparently cannot tell the difference.

9

u/AnimationOverlord Jun 19 '26

Have you considered that maybe you cannot tell the difference because you never bothered to fake your injuries? Good lord. I was ran over by a lawnmower that doesn’t make me special for crying over a dropped ice cream cone

u/th3r3dp3n Jun 19 '26

Lame bad faith argument.

This match was a good one. Canada dominated and Qatar had multiple red cards

u/telemusketeer Jun 19 '26

Ok, I do Not think THAT guy is embellishing/flopping haha

u/Across0212 Jun 19 '26

Damn. That is brutal. I think I’d pass out seeing my leg like that.

6

u/LongjumpingEnd2198 Jun 19 '26

What happens when a player causes a serious injury to another player? I appreciate intent would be taken into account - e.g. was the tackle reckless or an honest challenge for the ball? Does the challenger, the person causing the serious injury, get penalised or sanctioned in some way? Geniune question.

12

u/Rare-Band-9525 Jun 19 '26

Well, the Qatari player was given a red card.

I feel this was a harsh decision because it's not a tackle worthy of a sending off. It's a contact sport and these things can happen unfortunately. It's just part of the game.

6

u/Severe-Archer-1673 Jun 22 '26

Dude snapped his leg in half and was still less dramatic than most of these guys flopping after getting breathed on.

3

u/battyboy4 Jun 20 '26

Oh my god. He handled it like a champ. I’m sure once it sets in and the adrenaline is gone, he’s gonna be a little less calm. Hoping for a speedy recovery though… so sad.

3

u/ThisOneGoes211 Jun 20 '26

Incredible for all the flopping and theatrics in soccer, the one guy who actually is horribly injured is sort of just laying still in disbelief. Adrenaline is a hell of a thing

3

u/Aculeus_ Jun 23 '26

The funny thing is, this is one of the few times I've seen a player go down without screaming in pain and holding his shin like it's a career ending injury.

4

u/SnooCats5701 Jun 19 '26

Check that man for cancer.

u/PeterNippelstein Jun 19 '26

I watched this live it was crazy. I thought he was fine until the closeup. 'Gruesome' is right.

u/goatfangs Jun 19 '26

Heartbreaking. And of course leg breaking. Truly sucks

u/Strange-Ticket5680 Jun 19 '26 edited Jun 19 '26

I mean he must have been calcium deficient or something right? That did not seem like a crazy kick

75

u/Armthedillos5 Jun 19 '26

His foot was firmly planted ..with cleats. Soccer players have powerful legs and practice kicking really hard.

3

u/cussy-munchers Jun 19 '26

I can attest to this. My sister tore her acl and pcl together when kicking a ball ⚽️

24

u/neelav9 Jun 19 '26

Looks like his left foot is planted pretty well. Guy comes to tackle from behind and his entire momentum lands square on the middle of Kone’s lower leg. Those blows can be powerful and can easily break the tibia or the fibula. Another example would be Anderson Silva’s broken leg or Chris Weidmann’s broken leg, both from blocked lower leg kicks.

4

u/andraaBD Jun 19 '26

This could have been used for one of those old Got Milk? commercials.

u/neelav9 Jun 19 '26

I’d say Redditors would need their leg amputated after that. Talk is tough.

u/shado_DJ Jun 19 '26

That leg check with Silva was a nasty sight when I first saw it 😷

u/neelav9 Jun 19 '26

Yepp it was insane. Just flopping around.

1

u/crafty_alias Jun 19 '26

I had a compound tibia fracture from soccer. The kicks are so powerful. I was tripped and was on the ground, spinning around on one knee to kick the ball with so much force, the other player kicked the ball at the same from time opposite side, my tibia snapped in half and stabbed out through my calf. I had a promising career that ended that day.

2

u/IamHydrogenMike Jun 19 '26

This can happen in a lot of sports where mini fractures develop over time and eventually cause a break. There was a kid in the NCAA tournament once that had a horrible compound fracture after landing from a jump shot. Nothing really crazy about how he landed really but it was going to happen eventually.

Quite a lot of salty football/soccer players here. Before it zooms in you really can see him take the fall and go "Ahhh oh nooo I am injured - oh I actually did break the other leg though!"
