Remember Aljosa Asanovic? Man, he really knew how to use his elbows. The great thing about him was that he never got caught. He constantly elbowed people without ever getting a red and very rarely a yellow. His favorite move was to shield the ball, wait for the opponent to attack him and then deliver the punishment with short, quick and unnoticed elbow swings. He made them look like a natural part of arm movement while running. The funniest thing was that the refs usually called the fouls in his favor after the opposing player would try to retaliate. He was an unrepeatable genius of elbowing!
asanovic was a tidy player as well. I never really noticed most of the elbowing, he hid it very well.
I love Bergkamp, but he throws a great elbow . Ferrara, I love him at Juve, he gives and receives good elbows. Janker, I haven't seen him in a couple of years, but when he was a Munich, he busted hella grills and noses. Serie A is an Elbow league.
I'm going to have to say that Ludacris gives the most fearsome elbows I have ever seen in my life. That's a man that really can "Throw them bows.", I know I wouldn't want to be on the receiving end of one of those.
I was about 30 rows up in the 94WC game between USA and Brasil, Leonardo hit Tab so hard, you could hear it from where i was sitting.
Good to see Lalas again (American red head with lots of hair) Dennis Wise is good for the elbows... sometimes he stretches up there, and catches them in the breadbasket
And I thought I over-reacted on Leonardo's elbow to Tab Ramos. Imagine if Tab could have played the entire match. My recollection is that the U.S. had the better of the play until that point. Leonardo's hit was so hard, I could hear in Georgia. Leonardo should have been banned from the rest of the tournament in addition to the red card he suffered.
What about the number Abby Wambach did on the Nigerian defender at 2003 WWC? Now, that was was world class.
Well, her name was Kayoed (K-Oed, that is). And she only dropped to the ground writhing in agony after standing up, wiping her brow, and looking inside her palm. Next time, just go to the blood bin, please.
