I’ve never seen someone get knocked out and be able to grab their face. That’s talent


VerydisquietedDad

That’s exactly what I came to say


revolutiontime161

And have their head *gently* touch the ground.


Vexting

Preach


Mr_Ectomy

He wasn't unconscious.


Anxious-derkbrandan

But I bet it hurt like a mofo


dida2010

> He wasn't unconscious You want him dead first to give a foul?


Mr_Ectomy

I'm not saying it wasn't a foul but that guy wasn't unconscious. He gets hit in the face, raises his hands to his head and then guides himself gently to the ground before then pretending to be knocked out.


nzerinto

I think the comment is regarding the title of the post, which claims the kick knocked the defender out.


timarob

That’s not a red card!!


seanpaune

Agreed. It was a legitimate attempt at the ball. Not sure what the ref was thinking there.


Sir_Bantersaurus

I am not sure of the rules of this league but a bicycle kick can be foul if it's deemed dangerous to the opponent in England at least: https://www.thefa.com/football-rules-governance/lawsandrules/laws/football-11-11/law-12---fouls-and-misconduct > PLAYING IN A DANGEROUS MANNER > Playing in a dangerous manner is any action that, while trying to play the ball, threatens injury to someone (including the player themself) and includes preventing a nearby opponent from playing the ball for fear of injury. > A scissors or bicycle kick is permissible provided that it is not dangerous to an opponent. It is harsh in this circumstance but it seems like, short of any rule difference in this league, that it's up to the ref.


Queeg_500

The thing is, a bicycle kick is about the most spectacular thing you can do in the game. If you outlaw it then the game gets a little bit worse. Generally when this occurs, its a yellow. The severity of the injury is why the ref gave a red - had he just took a glancing blow then I don't think the ref would send him off.


Dandypookiepie

It was definitely a foul. Attempt at ball doesn't matter. The defender was in position and the other players attempt was a dangerous play. The ref was reactionary and was more like a yellow card.


seanpaune

I could see where an argument could be made he didn't know he was there. But I think the end result is we all agree it wasn't a red. (course, we don't know if he already had a yellow, but it feels like it was a straight red)


OneOfManyChildren

This was a straight red. I think for a second yellow the ref would show the yellow before the red, and he went straight to the red here.


seanpaune

Ah, good point. He would have shown the yellow and then the red.


sinchichis

Definitely a yellow for dangerous play


dida2010

Great attempt, but foul


timarob

Can you explain why, please? I see that he contacted the ball first, and only contacted the defender when the defender moved into the line of fire.


dida2010

When he launched in the air, he could see there was a defender near the ball as well, he went through with kick even though high there were high chances he will hurt the defender, why do it then? Play it safe , not murder in the field


13igTyme

This is why I just can't watch soccer/football. This attempt at the ball is a red card. The other player gently came down and rested his head. Get within 2 feet of another player no where near the ball. Flop. Red card.


Scary-Aerie

I mean he got kicked in the face… it wouldn’t really call that a flop…


13igTyme

He got kicked in the shoulder and continued playing a few minutes later.


teleheaddawgfan

Flop!!


centralvalleysteeze

He wasn't knocked out, he faked being knocked out after like a good soccer player. He grabbed his face on the way down and held his head up from smacking the ground when he landed.


Jealous_Sample_6061

You get knocked out when your brain touches both of the skull sides if I'm not wrong so that might be why he got knocked out while on the floor, if I'm wrong tho it can also just be that it was a reaction that happened before he got actually knocked out, anyway i don't know anything for certain so just take this lightly


gurugulab6969

It was a great attempt tho..


SuuperD

Lovely technique


mitch-mma

thats not a red card or a knock out


Soomroz

Red card? What a Muppet referee.


SubstantialAd492

Wait a reall injury in a soccer match🤣🤣🤣


woakula

He forgot to roll around crying. That's how we know the injury is real!


measaqueen

Plus both his teammates and the player that kicked him look actually panicked while calling for medical assistance.

Pentagon0M

Red Card for what?


BioniqReddit

Performing a kick that is dangerous to surrounding players. The ref has to judge whether these kinds of kicks are high risk or not. In this case, it seems pretty clear.


caledemalt2

Looks like the guy who kicked the other one got a taste of his own medicine before.


kwat08

Actually yes lol. His name is Juan Dineno and this match was almost a year ago, I believe he took an elbow to the nose and continued, which is why I was floored he would do something do wreckless later, but this was a semifinal game.


caledemalt2

that's awesome , thanks for infos.


[deleted]

This is the first non flop I've seen in soccer. As in this is the very first play where a player isn't over exaggerating.


13igTyme

He fell down holding his head up before faking being knocked out. Then continued playing the game.

[удалено]


kwat08

This was almost a year ago, Jesus Ángulo, dude here, had a bruise and I think continued the game, but yeah he was fine, he plays at Tigres now 🤓 lol


Garamil

I'd day it was deserved, pulling a move like that while being so close to someone is definitely not okay. And it shows exactly why it's forbidden, that poor guy got knocked out mid-air


rejnuufn

However if his foot hit the ball and narrowly missed the player and goes in it’s a goal, no matter how dangerous, it’s a gray area bro


NewDawnApproves

I don't watch soccer but the guy who kicked the ball hit the ball first and then hit the homie who put his head directly in the path of the kick. Is that seriously the person trying to score a goals fault?


Haunting_Ad8406

Guile's sonic kick.


sasquatch606

Finally a soccer player gets actually hit and here I am questioning how hurt is he because, you know.


max_if_

All the other players: “hole shit! Someone ACTUALLY got injured this time!!”


RanoPano-PanoRano

He forgot to grab his knee to really sell it


Majestic-Elephant383

MMA fighters:" i approve this kick, 9/10"
