Didn’t a keeper cut himself on purpose once with a blade hidden in his sock?

 

Chile's goalkeeper Rojas in the World Cup 1990 qualifier against Brazil. Chile ended up getting disqualified by FIFA and the keeper was banned for life I believe.

I can see that cheating bastard Bruno Fernandes trying this in the near future. VAR will look at it and tell the ref to give them a penalty and send the opponent off. It won't matter where on the pitch the incident takes place. Hell, it probably won't even matter even if it happens after the full time whistle.

There was a similar thing in rugby a few years back. Harlequins faked a blood injury substitution with capsules to get a better goal kicker on, they were called out on it, and their physio cut the guy's lip in the changing rooms to make it look real. Lots of people ended up banned as it was apparently a common practice and the physio was initially struck off but later reinstated.

Bizarre that he would know that someone would lash a firework at his head then go down and cut himself. 

 

If you've ever seen the old Maracana the pitch is fucking miles away from the crowd so whoever threw it at him should have got a job as the top sniper in the Brazilian/Chilean army.

People in the stands normally struggle to avoid pissing all over the floor, yet have world class accuracy when launching missiles or aiming laser pens at players.
