Second….Why did everyone ignore the offensive player with the possbile broken knee cap?

LoL… you were the first after the first first

Die!

Too bad the goalie probably just took a dive. Didn't see any real nasty contact, and his rolling around fits the "oh my god I'm hurt, please stop the game" playbook perfectly.

Work is Daily

First!!
Work is Daily

Fuck that.

True football fairplay. Doesn't happen too often in professional football, but so awesome when it does!

American Football

This game is called soccer…

AnyoneForCoffee

And it happens all the time! The crowd will often start boo-ing if play continues while a player is down injured.
Scotsman

*shakes head* *sigh*
Joe

No, it is not. We invented it, we get to name it.

Brutal Deluxe

You also came up with the term Soccer. Eat it, you limey fucker.

P90

Thinking 'Limey' is an insult proves what a dipshit you are.

ShakeyTheMoyle

I've always wondered why the 'Limey' word. What's it mean?

DanAbnormal

It is because the English sailors used to eat limes so they would not suffer from scurvy.

fred

can't tell if trolling or stating historical fact.

Joe

its a historical fact one of hte vitamins contained in lime i forget which one. also "American football" you're such a dick this isnt /b/

Adam

Really? You couldn't remember vitamin C? Someone did not take flintstones vitamins as a child…

Brutal Deluxe

Is he not British, then, if he's claiming his countrymen invented soccer? Would "Limey" not then be accurate? If I'd said "British fucker," would you have assumed British to be an insult?

More to the point, though, am I hitting close to home by pointing out what a bunch of dipshits you are when you get angry when the term "soccer" is used? It's your own fucking word, invented by you to describe the game in question!

Also, somewhat tangentially, I enjoy both sports, and also plowing your mom because I love fucking fatties.

P90

The way you used the the word was as an insult and by swapping it with 'British' you would have had the same intention, unless you are a complete mug, you know this.
What we get angry with is the typical arrogant American responce that because football it's not that big in the US it therefore must be crap or gay completely ignoring the fact that it's the most followed and played team sport on the entire planet.

Dr_StrangePants

shut up, gringo
Da Sandman

no… it's not…
Shak

Football, as in playing a ball with your feet.
Same goes for Handball. Play a ball with your hand.
Basketball, involves balls and baskets.

American football on the othe hand, use a ball that doesn't look like a ball and is very rarely played with the feet.

tsulo21

Actually American football started off similar to soccer with the kicking and passing of a round ball, except that hitting and tackling was allowed. So basically it was like soccer but not for pussies.

ChairmanMeowz

so you're talking about rugby.

jella

and you play rugby without the extra padding too

I have Dig Bicks

i call it, american football is actually american rugby. thats what is should be called all over the world. its similar to rugby and mostly played in just the US..hence the name… you all you guys can stop fighting over the name like shitheads and move on with your life

I have Dig Bicks

*i call it american rugby

skeptic

no, it's not. In every country, the game that you play with your feet it's called football. The game you mean (handball) is called football only in this strange country. If you go elsewhere and say "football" no one is going to think "handball". Or better "handegg"

Batex

its not called soccer, europeans call it soccer, english invented football, its called football – then you have gaelic football, australian rules football, american football and rugby – get it right – football is being played in this video!

JKP

Be honest… If you compare American football and football then you have to see that football is played with foots much more, than American football… Thats why FOOTBALL is FOOTBALL!

Wiiliam rodriguez

Nice…any other douche in any other league would have taken the shot.

I_Hate_Paula

people don't fake injuries in any other league "because it is apart of the strategy"

that_guy

true faking an injury is part of it…but that right there didnt look fake

eman

FOR ALL YOU REDNECKS WHO RIP ON IRAN!!! THIS IS THEIR NATIONAL FOOTBALL TEAMS…. FUCK THE GOVT .. NOT THE PEOPLE!!!!!!

Schott

what does the national football team have to do with iran as a whole? I can Judge Iran to be crazy and wanting to start some shit without saying anything bad about the Football team being bad.

stun

so wait did he kick the ball out of bounds just so the guy could get some help? that's pretty kick ass if so.

TheAutomaticMan

that is exactly what happened, and the guy that did it is a fucking boss
Steve

Glad to see you are with us Stun
Chris

lol I like how this is second highest ranked
josh

It is awesome that he kicked the ball out of bounds so the guy could get help but how f*cked up is it that he needed to kick a ball out of bounds for him to get help? Why don't they just stop the play and get the poor guy some medical attention….that is just stupid

Da Sandman

normally if the guy stays down, the referee stops the game to let the medical team do their work. Sadly, most teams would be pissed the fuck off if the ref did that in a situation like this, where the yellow team had a chance to score. Luckily this player has a great sence of fair play.

passwordistaco

They never stop play until the injured players team gains possession. Refs won't stop a scoring opportunity.

Paul from the gump

The term is "advantage"

Poo

As if this needs another reply but they only stop play for a head injury. The rest of the time it's just a broken arse or a bruised t-shirt or something so no point.

gallagherian

clearly

Epic kindness is epic.
Cal1

Knowing footy the keeper knew he couldn’t get back in time and played foul, there all pussies check the link
Anonymous

Wtf is that. He should have stopped play by scoring a goal.
Wild Frank

What an awesome dude

Ay Ay Caramba

True… although, while he was eager to help the goalkeeper, he somehow neglected the fact that his own teammate was down and writhing in pain as well.

etcrr

very cool
Unfkngblvbl

I've never seen a dude fucking spin like that…….must've hurt bad.
TheAutomaticMan

This is awesome, i wish people that i have played sports with/against were like that. But i suppose that's 'Merica for ya.

BruthaV

Yeah, it happens here in America too, dumb ass:

The J

Seems to just be you. You might learn to get along with others better, give you more of the results you seek.

TheAutomaticMan

i see, so because i played with a bunch of douche bags, i'm automatically the cause of said problem. Noooow i understand how the world works, thank you

Lisa

Definitely awesome, and rare to see. But I felt kind of bad for the other yellow player who was writhing around in the goal box while everyone clustered around the goalie. Did nobody notice him or was he doing the typical soccer "OMG I'M SO HURT" thing?

Active_hunter

I have the same question. …
mammalsauce

There was 1 guy with a bag running out to see the other guy right before the replay starts.
Si1entStatic

I think because the yellow player was writhing and the goalie was motionless, the goalie took priority and yes there was a trainer running for the yellow player.

(as long as the goalie recovered) Kudos to the goalie for attacking the ball.
Nicnac

also, the yellow player was injured in the leg. The goalie was probably booted in the head. Head injury takes priority.

bart

f*ck that, GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAAAAAALLLLL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Swaff

bbbbbbbbbbbbbbzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

Nerf Herder

No one ran over to the forward that took the goalie out. Forever alone?

Nerf Herder

No one from the forward's own team…
6655321

Head injury or leg injury. Which one is more important?

Nicce

Leg of cause – can't kick a ball with a broken leg…

Anonymous

America kicks ass because we don’t stop and make sure you’re ok after we knock you the fuck out. Sorry I don’t apologize for beating your ass. Get a set man up.
lorycowery

So refreshing to see a professional player take responsibility and do the right thing especially in a sport where, more often than not, they are expected by coaches and the higher-ups to dismiss these situations and play on for the "advantage of the situation."

SARmedic

I totally agree with you, and some soccer players are the worst offenders. My hat's off to that guy.

look

helping an opponent is priceless, but ignoring your hurt teamate in the same collision is stupid.

Jake too

No offense but The goalie took a knee to the face, his teammate hurt his knee… i think his teammate will be fine.

look

understood, but he didnt even make an effort to look after his teammate. He could have broken something at least. Thats all i was saying.

first class move. Wish more people were like that.
ezjio

That is completely normal in football

AnyoneForCoffee

Thank you. What league of total ****s do the posters above watch?

In the UK, in fact all over Europe, this is expected behaviour.

bobbob

I wonder if the above posters would also be shocked to see that the red team most likely gave the ball back to the yellow team after the ensuing throw in??

P90

Exactly, this happens all the time.

bringthedoo

Hmmm Pretty boss I agree but *technically* his own guy was down as well and offsides (one defender behind him minding the net) Technically if he scored it would get called offside anyway.

wkdfrog

you sir do not know what you are talking about
the_junglist

I don't think you understand "offsides."
http://twitter.com/CAWT @CAWT

No it wouldn't, because the downed player is not "active".
DaddyD

Wrong. Learn the rules. The yellow player who was down was not involved in the play so he is not offside.
Buzz Killington

wrong as hell. shut up doo.
Da Sandman

epic trying to look smart attempt fail

I'm glad that our(Iranians) sport is known for fairness!
tnx Chive!

Dcolbert

Futbol is not IRANIANS sport. My understanding is it is kind of the WORLD'S sport. But we're glad you're there, involved, and displaying awesome sportsmanship… I

Signed,

The World

(I think the word you were looking for is "our TEAM"… but I don't speak a lick of Iranian, so trust me, I'm not judging.)

Spirit

It's just one of Iran's premier league teams not our team!! I meant being fair is prevalent in Iranians all kind of sports!
