Worst ever fouls/bad tackles

What is the worst foul or bad tackle you've seen in fooball?.

 

The foul on Cannigia by half the Cameroon team in the world Cup of 1990 was as hilarious as it was brutal, plus Souness stamping on the Steua Bucharest's midfielders' balls then moaning to the ref about the dirt on his sock was hilarious.

 

Any others?

Schumacher in the 86 World Cup.

 

Ben Thatcher on Mendes.

 

Keane on Haaland.

 

Anything by Stephen Hunt.

That's probably the worst one I've seen for pre-meditated hospitalisation (and it was the '82 world cup). The poor fucker who got in his way was Patrick Battiston.

As far as I can remember Schumacher didn't even get a yellow card for the foul nor was a free given

That's the fella's name. And was it really '82? Good job I never had a bet on that.

I saw a documentary about that incident a while back, and they interviewed Platini. As soon as they mentioned the name 'schumacher' you could tell Platini wouldn't piss on him if he was on fire. Apparently he thought Battiston was dead or very close to dead. And when you see the incident you can see why he might of thought that.

 

Its the camera angle behind the goal that shows you how late Schumacher was:

that one on cannigia was what he needed. he was walking over them and a good kick tends to slow these players down. what i would be pissed of about is the greasy little argy twat who stamps on the defenders foot and runs off sharpish.

 

i never saw that game (due to being born around that time) and i sincerely hope someone got that cunt back. 'twice as hard' as my dad would say.

I'm going to be controversial.... Everytime I watch the Schumacher one, I don't see what the fuss is about. He came out to kick the ball, realised he wasn't going to get it, and his momentum took him into Battiston.

 

It's not as bad as Keane on Haaland. Dirty cunt.

Scumacher doesn't jump into Battiston until the ball is past him.

 

Clearly pre-meditated.

Momentum schmomentum. He had time to get out of the way.

 

He cleaned him out.

He lead with a right bum cheek/elbow combo. Those are always the worse kind of fowls.

I think you're right TK. It was his elbow that took out Battiston's teeth, and his arse cheek that fucked up several vertebrae.

 

All in all, I think you can say he 'connected'...
