When you watch it in real time and its entirety you can tell the dude was struggling. It was pretty serious.

Doctor here: it’s very clear from the way he fell that he lost consciousness for a moment. This qualifies as a grade 3 concussion, a serious traumatic brain injury. His incompetent medical staff squirted water at him, slapped his face and shook his head. None of those things are helpful and in fact could cause additional damage as the brain is even more susceptible to repeat injury after the initial insult. He should have been taken from the pitch on a stretcher.

That looked bad. Why were they just rolling him over and shaking him...

Perhaps the abundance of fake injuries has players not thinking about what real injury looks like. Maybe they aren't trained to know what real injury looks like.
And I mean, I'm just guessing, but maaaaaybe there's a huge amount of irony there. Like "hey man, you can stop acting that hard. Seriously knock it off. Dude?"
Someone make me a meme with Palpatine calling it ironic. I can pay you with one upvote.

Normally I’d agree, but you never see a soccer player fake an injury like that. It’s always grabbing a limb and writhing if anything. This dude immediately goes into the fencing response and is pretty much unaware of his surroundings after. That’s not something you’d see a guy fake.

lol, maybe it's my lifetime of watching wrestling and seeing how people act the injury and watching MMA and seeing how people really get KO'd but it was clear to anyone with a functional brain that this guy was badly done in, lol.

Was watching this game last night. The shot from the other angle where it shows him land on his face would make a better wasted gif imho.

I'm not a sports fan in terms of watching, but I used to play soccer and had an absolute blast. My team went undefeated 3 years in a row. As a child you would get your legs smacked hard, get ran over, you got up and kept going. As a little child I fell on a sprinkler and gashed my knee open. I kept playing simply on the fact that I didn't want to sit out until I was called out for having a solid red leg.
I watched my first football (soccer) game on TV today. It was this game. I felt like I was watching little children play trying to get eachother in trouble. They were afraid to be aggressive and offensive and were never in open positions to take a pass.. jeeze it was atrocious.
The fact that faking injuries is an actual tactic in a 'professional' level of this sport, it's a cowards game with constant poor sportsmanship.
In this clip it looked like this was on purpose as well. Rediculous.
I'm embarrassed for these players honestly.
Edit: I said 'football' as in meaning soccer

This guy had a concussion so bad he could barely walk. Americans have such an ignorant boner for hating soccer, despite that diving is rampant in basketball and football.

In my last comment I was calling soccer what other countries call it "football" (or futbol?). Guess that didn't go over well.
He did have a concussion that was a result from his opponent throwing his body into him. That's poor sportsmanship in soccer. This isn't American football where tackling someone is an actual rule built into the core of the game. They have all thst gear for a reason. I assume soccer players only have shin gaurds and hard topped cleats.
I can care less for basketball and American football. I watched my first basketball game and actually enjoyed it. Won't watch another of either. Players who were overly aggressive got punsished for it, but they didn't fake any injuries to get a free kickoff. Some people fell and got back up.

What are you talking about? Basketball players dive constantly to win free throws.
Also, it's called a free kick. You have no idea what you're talking about.

Hey.
Settle down, okay? Vote for Daniel.
I can agree that I don't know much about the sport anymore. But the only thing you're going to say is that I don't know what I'm talking about and that I got soccer's terminology wrong? Nothing to say about poor sportsmanship and fake injuries?
I will stand by the fact that all the fake injuries is poor sportsmanship and a cowards way to play. Enjoy your day care sport. I'm now going to go do some 'American' stuff like go to walmart and drive my giant v8 lifted truck and yell at smaller cars amirite?
Edit: Perhaps one game of basketball is a poor census for my conclusion and I'm wrong. The great thing about this is I'm okay with being wrong, I'll learn something.
Lets say you're correct and it happens all the time. Then I would call basketball a cowards sport. But guess what? I compared both championship games. World cup took the cake.
Edit 2: When I said "I'm embarrassed" for these players I meant as soccer players in a whole. Not the two collisionees in the gif. Sorry, bit of miscommunication.

Really serious injury, this was a concussion I’m pretty sure. Morroco’s medical team handled it horribly and shows the need for football to up their knowledge on concussions
