deeeyam

that's a whole different story. (i'm referring to the Hockey guy)

Direct pressure on the wound as quickly as possible. I saw on a TV show a couple of years ago where some guys (caught on tape) were four-wheeling on ATVs, and one guy ran into a barbwire fence. He cut three of the four major vessels in his neck and lived ...

Soccer is definitely a rough sport, especially in the US.

Interesting comment....Perhaps they're just clumsy..!
After all, it's not a contact sport in the rest of the world.....;)

Was there ever a video of that MLS wrestler falling to his death in a match a couple of years ago? I forgot his name, but his brother wrestled, too. That must have been gross.

While in the army reserve in the 1970's I got to order Army movies for our unit to watch at meetings. On a lark I ordered some medical movies. We spent a Sunday afternoon watching things like 100 ways to perform a tracheotomy with things like razor blades and ball point pens. There were also movies on treating combat wounds to different parts of the body and how to treat wounds you'd be likely to get in nuclear, chemical, and biological attacks. It was all very realistic. Some guys got sick and had to leave, many others had to stand up and scream. It was really funny.

Okay, you asked for it. My college goalkeeper comes out for a one on one in wet conditions and collides, sliding, with the other teams forward. Players studs catch him in the taters and he rolls around for a few minutes before struggling back up..... game goes on for another 35 minutes, we all think he's suffered nothing worse than a stomach ache and a bruised pair of beans.
When we get back to the locker room and he undresses to take a shower, (go ahead hang on to them if you think it will help you deal with this), he says, "Uhhhh guys, could you call the trainer please!"

A trip to the hospital, 11 stitches, and one hour later we were all still to horified to eat dinner! HE RIPPED HIS SACK MAN!!!

I have no idea how he played those 35 minutes??????

[Preston McMurry]

His were made of brass (so to speak ...)

Btw, that would make a great pickup line: "Hey, baby, wanna see my scar?"

Henrik Larssons is the worst non-career ending legbreak ive ever seen in football, Luc Nilis' was about as bad and it finished him.
You can see the larsson one on kazza/morpheus etc its classed as humour, I wasnt laughing that night in lyon thats for sure It felt like someone had died watching him get stretchered off with his foot hanging at that angle. sickening stuff.

Nah, and Nick Garcia didn't even get whistled for a foul, let alone get carded.

Sorry, I meant WWF wrestler. It was Owen Hart.

Oh, just thought of another...



The keeper was a little less fortunate -- all the front teeth were pushed back. Serious blood everywhere. They thought he had a broken or dislocated jaw. It turned out that jaw was ok -- they had to do surgery to pull all teeth back into place and wired them in. It took 120 stitches inside his mouth and 40 on the outside.



Well, that's similar to my story only a bit messier. I was playing indoor soccer and jumped to head the ball. The girl I was marking was standing right in front of me and also jumped up-but didn't do so until AFTER I had already headed the ball and was coming down (the twit). Anyhow, my teeth went into her head and I fell face first onto the floor (you know-just as an added bonus). I was convinced all my front teeth were gone when I picked my head up and saw the floor covered in blood. No-they were all just totally pushed back in my mouth and I had to have them pulled forward, "emergency" braces put on for 3 months. When I went to the emergency room the doctor looked at them and said "Well-that's messy. Nothing we can do for you right now, just don't go home and eat any apples."
Thanks.
The other girl just got a bunch of stitches in her head.

Not really an injury I guess, but it happened at a soccer game. My older brother was playing and a little bit after halftime the referee collapsed. He had a heart attack and died on the field. Very sad.

I know, but I couldn't pass up a chance to take a shot at Garcia, since he never passes up a chance to take a shot at anyone else. ;)

Me to Garcia, from 15 ft away, at Open Cup match last weekend, as ball boy gave him the ball: "Hey Nick, why don't you elbow the ballboy!"

I kill me ...

Thanks for the late nite laugh! Can i use it when he comes to play my buddy DaMarcus's Fire team?

When I was in seventh grade I was on a breakaway and I was tackled by both the goalie and a defender chasing me. They both hit my leg, I hit the ball.

I broke both bones in my right leg and the tibia came out of my shin (compound fracture). I''ll never forget this kid on my team, Eddie Costello, screaming "his bone is sticking out of his leg, his bone is sticking out of his leg!!" I was in the hospital for three weeks.

I made it back to soccer though and played on the Virginia state ODP team and in college.

Oh yeah, the ball went in the net, I didn't find out until I was in the hospital. We won 2-1. They ended the game early.

Way to take one for the team.

Didn't see this one, but ... I was watching Stern on E! sometime last week when they had a lady on talking about how when she was younger a girlfriend of hers lit her fart, and it exploded, burning her whole ... ummm ... private area.

Buck Shelford, NZ rugby union player;

"He played 48 games for New Zealand, 22 of which were Test matches. He lost just one - the infamous Battle of Nantes in 1986 against France. It was his second Test, and he played most of the match with a testicle hanging out of his scrotum, worked free by an aggressive French stud in the 20th minute. We can probably forgive him that one."

'60s, University of Utah basketball game. Team was winning the conference and ultimately went to the final four--but without one of our starting forwards who broke his leg in that conference game. In the midst of the massive noise that a home crowd can make, I (and everyone else in Cole field house) heard the snap. Immediate, dead silence. Sometimes the sound is worse than the sight.

'90s. Son's travel team scrimmaging another one. Two players go up for a header, one earlier than the other. The first one up, on the way down, hits the side of his jaw on the shoulder of the late jumper, on his way up. Collapses to the pitch. Eventually is taken to the side. Keeps going out of and coming into consciousness. Paramedics arrive by ambulance. More working over him. Ten minutes pass. In the distance the chop, chop, chop of a helicopter. Med-evac lands on the pitch, carries him off to Fairfax Hospital trauma unit. Outcome was ok for him, but it's the only time I've ever seen anyone med-evaced from a soccer match.

And to give anecdotal evidence to which is rougher, one season I watched every football (gridiron) and every soccer game at my kids' high school (I always watched the soccer--it was the football watching that was unique that season). Final score: three ambulance evacuations from the soccer games, none from the football games. Of course, there were twice as many soccer as football games, but even so...

Brings new meaning to the phrases: 'hot pants' and 'I've got the hots for you' :D

henrik larsson's broken leg a couple of years ago, it was mad f'ed up.

Yet another in a long line of skateboard doofus's on Real TV last night: Tries to do a 'grind' (I belive it is called) along a railing down some stairs. Naturally, he crotched himself. Except this time instead of mashing his potatoes, he broke his leg. When he landed at the bottom the stairs, you could tell it was broke. When he rolled over, his body moved, but his leg didn't ...

It's called a rail grind. I can tell you from experience that there is no pain like catching a your boys on parking lot concrete rail. Though busting a Ho Ho and having the trucks catch your boys ain't to good either. I got injured more often skating than all the other sports I played competatively combined.

Six pages into this thread, and I'm quite surprised that no one's mentioned the horrific injuries that Mike Ammann suffered a couple of years ago, when he was the MetroStars 'keeper, in the collision with Mamadou Diallo. Ammann, to the best of my fleeting memory, suffered broken ribs, a broken cheekbone and several facial lacerations.

I never got to see that myself, personally. It occurred during my first trip here to Australia, and I've never seen any videotape of it, even. If anyone was an eyewitness to it, was it as bad an incident as it sounded?

Earlier this year, I do recall bringing the Ammann-Diallo incident up when I heard of an injury to a star player of AFL footy over here, when Essendon's full-forward James Hird caught a knee flush to the face against Fremantle and had much of the same damage as did Ammann (save for the broken ribs). Hird's playing again, but he had to miss close to ten weeks of action after having hours of plastic surgery to repair his damage.

Cheers,
