For those of you who think there is no contact in soccer

Doctors say if they hadn't operated so quickly, he could have lost his foot.

Happened this past Saturday in the game of Arsenal vs Birmingham.

He shattered his shin and dislocated his ankle through the skin.

The game was stopped for 7 minutes for treatment and to wash the blood off the field.

Looks like that vid from years back of the tennis player who did the same thing. It's awful to watch.

Video purged from youtube now but the pic is pretty nasty.

Kinda reminds me of that RB from Louiville last year.... *shudder*

You mean someone was rolling around the ground in agony and they actually had an injury? Wow. I don't think I've ever seen that before in soccer.

That injury looks really nasty. I cringed just looking at the picture.

Oh damn, that is rough. Would have loved to see the video. Can't imagine that it was intentional on the part of #4, so why the red card?

went in studs up

The video has been removed from Youtube and everywhere else mainstream at Arsenal's request. I was watching Sky Sports last night and they played the video and froze it at the moment of contact. It shows clearly that Martin was going in studs up and that the force of impact was going to be severe.

Without seeing the actual injury, I knew it would be a horrific one from the look of abject horror on Fabregas' face when he looked down at Eduardo's ankle.

I hope this is not a career ender...
