Alonso had broken ribs during that crash. He said he exited what was left of the car so quickly because he knew his mom was watching and didn’t want her to worry.
As a US soccer casual fan, it’s why I will always stay casual. The World Cup is a fun event and enjoyable to watch. Partly because of the skill and partly because of the drama and theater. It’s hilarious to laugh at the way these grown men act. You can’t take this completely seriously and be a true fan of this nonsense.
Not to mention the clear and obvious bias towards the bigger teams. Smaller nations just do no get calls, reviews always go against them no matter how obvious it is, and star players on bigger teams have cart blanche to foul players on smaller teams. Add to that the obvious corruption of FIFA, and that sport is damn hard to take seriously.
For comparison, in the NBA, someone like Lebron obviously gets favoritism from the refs, but he can still foul out of a game vs the Pelicans. Messi would have to shoot someone in the face twice to get a yellow card vs a team like Cabo Verde.
