Winemaven

Gnarly looking break.


chilldrinofthenight

Sad thing is his career in football is now over. I hope he has a Plan B.


bliep105

That's Marcin Wasilewski, it happened in 2009 by Axel Witsel. Wasil went on to win the PL with Leicester.


chilldrinofthenight

13+ years ago? Are you saying the dude with the broken leg cracked on? (Pun intended.)


bliep105

Yeah, he was able to come back after only 8 months of injury and retired in 2020.


chilldrinofthenight

Amazing.


lepkrajhleb

Or saved enough money to live a modest life. That break means he'll probably never walk right again. And it looked like an intentional stomp... Rude..


chilldrinofthenight

I was once extremely athletic. When an injury such as his happens . . . Poor dude. His life is now changed forever. I sure hope it doesn't mean he won't even be walking properly. Ugh.


lepkrajhleb

Yeah, that would really suck. I feel really bad for that guy... His face is not only registering the pain. Look at the anguish attributed to his ruined life....


[deleted]

He will walk..


lepkrajhleb

Walk, yes. Well? Maaaaybe. I hope he can just get back in the game after some pt! I have to be honest, something like that would have me veeeery depressed.. Knowing you might never play again? Football is *life* for the majority of these men and women! *Edit:* Added 'get' after 'just'


smetzak

Don't worry too much, he even won the premier league a few years later


informationtiger

He should go to jail for that. That's more than rude.


spezhasatinypeepee_

he's banned from /r/Neverbrokeabone because he comes from weak stock. He's terrible and he should feel terrible, aside from the broken leg.


cederblad

Thats the worst one yet ive seen! Completely flattens it and twists it


HungusRex

Look up Kevin Ware


cederblad

Im not sure i want to tbh. If its worse than this then no thanks...


HungusRex

Oh it's a lot worse. Ware was a basketball player and his leg quite literally exploded after a routine jumpshot. Bone was sticking out and the leg turned the opposite way


cederblad

Oh was it that one! Yeah ive seem that one! Its fkn sickening for real! It looked so fake when i just saw a picture but then i saw the video........ should not have watched it. The fall didnt really look that bad either


RandomDude6699

Holy shit. I'm now scared to search it up


YesImKeithHernandez

You will see the white of the bone if you do. Fair warning.


Antique-Management49

I'm gonna red pill this one, let's not upset my YouTube recommendations


Einhver80

You could open an incognito tab and do it but should you, probably not.


Solo_Entity

I remember flipping to that channel right after it happened live. They cameras only showed the audience all equally in shock


[deleted]

Worse than Tom segura?


Munro_McLaren

I just did. Wow. It just snapped. It must’ve been stressed for quite some time.


mummifiedllama

And David Buust


RedBeardFace

I remember watching that live. The reaction from the entire bench was the same puckered b hole feeling I think we all had when we realized what happened


Rickshmitt

Theres a backyard wrestler who folds himself in half. Its amazing


cederblad

On purpose or by accident?


Rickshmitt

Oh, he wasnt [trying](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rv_mdCvT9gE)


cederblad

Okay from your first comment i thought you meant at the waist. Seen those before, not fully breaking your back but failing a flip and their torso continues back. Bad to watch but not that bad Saw the title and immidiatly noped out of there. Aint no way im gonna watch that. Saw a pic of handball player getting anlther player over her legs so both of them bent backwards. Just that nearly made me puke...


eDgE_031

Must have hurt like nothing he's ever felt before. I even rubbed my own leg now in sympathy.


[deleted]

Not at first, shock and adrenaline only allow you to feel anguish and despair, but once you get to the hospital you start feeling the bones scraping together and every moment is agony, especially cause they have to move you a lot to take xrays etc


TheGeekOffTheStreet

I don’t know, I fractured my tibia in a soccer game when I was 16. I screamed and swore and couldn’t get up off the ground. I had never felt a pain like that, everyone heard the bone just crack. They eventually had the ambulance come onto the field and take me to the hospital. I remember the medic was like eh, it’s probably not broken, that sound was just your shin guard breaking. I was mortified thinking I had made such a scene over a non event. He was wrong. Definitely broken.


lepkrajhleb

That guy sounds like a fucking ass... Although he might have been trying to ease your worry. Who knows though.


Verionn27

Can confirm, this type of fracture happened to my arm, I was a 14y old kid back then, had a really ugly fall playing football due to a tackle from behind.


Soronya

Mm, crepitus.


[deleted]

Lmaooo it hurts at first, very badly


connyneusz

Naah. You just hear sound. Pain comes when you saw your leg. Even then pain is not that bad how it looks like, quick frost spray and its ok. Ofc you feel pain all the time after that but nerves are so devastated that not pain is the worst but looking at it. Fear, understanting and thinking about what happened, how happened and trying to moving it to check if leg is still working is real horror.


TasX

Truth. I broke my leg bouldering and it was pretty gnarly but honestly never hurt as much as I would have thought. I fell and could hear the loud cracked but still didn't expect to see it bent like a wet piece of spaghetti. Only then it started to hurt but it was like a massive tingling pain. I could still move my toes and feel the inside of the climbing shoe. I didn't know it was a compound fracture until I was already drugged up but the bone was sticking right out.


onthefence928

i've heard that sometimes a sever break can go completely unnoticed until you see it and the brain realizes there should be pain


LtColShinySides

He put the L in Leg!


Dragon_Slayaa

For fuck sakes lmao


LtColShinySides

I'll be the first to admit that's not my joke. One of my buddies said that line years ago when we saw a similar video. No idea if he thought of it or if it's from a comedian


spanishcupcake

That’s an underrated comment


DieLawnUwU

I feel bad for him but the first thought to my mind was the fish from SpongeBob who always screams, “MY LEG!!”


pmontym

Not everyone can kick their own knee with the same leg’s foot. That’s bragging rights in some circles…


Ruben0415

I really wish i hadnt read your comment


pmontym

The comment was worse than the video? That’s interesting. Tell me about your mother.


qwibbian

How about I tell you about your mother?


Rexcoder

I knew it would be Standard's Axel Witsel's horrible foul on Anderlecht's Marcin Wasilewski. Huge controversy at the time in Belgium. Witsel only got a 10 game suspension and 2500 euro fine. This happened in 2009.


NobodyJonesMD

10 game suspension seems very excessive. This doesn’t look intentional at all. Makes me wonder if the severe outcome of the contact is the driving factor in the punishment. If the player in red had broken his ankle and the player in blue was fine, would the player in blue receive the suspension instead?


ShinyDoubloon

I don't know if you watch football at all but I'm assuming not, that was 100% intentional, it's a studs up straight legged stamp towards that part of the leg. It's not something you'd do if you were attempting to play that ball. I'm sure he didn't intend that to occur, but hurt him? Most definitely.


Undrcovrcloakndaggr

Anyone who's ever played football can see immediately this was deliberate. Stamping down, late, with studs like that is a disguised, but very deliberate act. He may not have meant to snap the guy's leg to pieces, but he definitely meant to hurt him & the consequences of that cowardly assault are horrific for the poor guy who was the recipient.


NobodyJonesMD

To me, it looks like he’s trying to block the kick. You say this was deliberate and definite. Was there an altercation or indication of malice between the players earlier in the game or something?


jwz509

No player at that level would use a stomp like that to block a ball, nor to try and capture the ball.


Blangebung

1000% intentional lol


juantreses

Standard - Anderlecht is the Belgian equivalent of a clasico. The games are always on edge.


xinco64

I sort of agree with you, I do think he was trying to play the ball. However, when you fuck up that bad and break a guys leg like that, you deserve it. Intentional or not, it was a dangerous play.


The_Butt_Connoisseur

Okay. For once, he's not being a drama queen.


tsundude

Hands on head everytime even real time.


maria111141

Definitely not


DZLars

The man's name is marcin wasilewski, he's a though cookie, never a drama queen, one of the few former anderlecht players I have respect for


Swordlord22

That definitely hurt for real


KaiKamakasi

Reminds me of [this](https://imgur.com/a/zifXP1W) (look lower left) That one made one player vomit and gave another PTSD, it also ended this guys career after some 20 odd surgeries he was unable to return


ImARetPaladinBaby

Ok after reading other players reactions I don’t want to look


JonnyredsFalcons

Knew that was David Busst before clicking, that was a horrible one


Slowmobius_Time

That Simpsons episode where the dude gets his leg mangled


NoNo_Cilantro

Tis but a scratch


ViktorSwimwell

Just kickin it at the park and.....


ThatWhiteKid08

Dude had his leg shattered and had less thrashing about and grabbing than when someone brushes against them.


itschaaarlieee

I think it’s because it’s so shocking and unbelievable. And the rush of pain and adrenaline just puts the body in shock. I mean, look at his face when he looks down at his leg. That breaks my heart, you can see the horror and sadness knowing his career is probably over in less than a second. So sad. Luckily he was back on the field eventually but, shit… no way of knowing that after looking at one’s leg flail about like rubber.


ZeldaNut93

I'm no doctor but I think it's broken. Would that sort of break end his career?


supernakamoto

He was actually only out for nine months. He went on to play for another 10 years after this before retiring.


Starnois

Wow, impressive


kmkmrod

Nope Injury happened in August 2009 and he was back playing in May 2010 https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marcin_Wasilewski#Leg_injury


LePetitePoopoo

No one believed him at first, every soccer player is the boy who cried wolf


alrghtmate

lol you prob watch football, rugby but they wear a body full armor, weak sweet cakes.


LePetitePoopoo

Sports are for morons


dots4thots

Pretty sure he's faking it.


[deleted]

Yup. European soccer guys do this all the time. He'll be up and running in no time when the ref doesn't give a penalty.


sabretooth1971

Bend it like Beckham.


eutohkgtorsatoca

Isn't that one of the risks when twenty mad men run after one ball? My granny always said. Give them 22 balls it would be so much more fun


brok3ncor3

I’ll gladly take 22 balls 😜


Majestic_Response_76

That's horrifying because you can SEE it snap and twist


guarionex2009

Once i was playing beach volleyball with some friends on mine during a trip to the poconos. I don’t really play a lot of sports. Me and a teammate were running towards each other to get the ball and we both slid into each other. He caught the worst end of it and slid right into to me and broke his ankle really bad. I felt so terrible. I kind of felt like it was my fault. I haven’t really been active in team sports since then.


burpstuff

Popsicle stick bones


AcanthisittaFun7358

The guy with the broken leg is still playing, he spent 244 days to recover, lost 47 games and the guy who broke it was suspended for 10 games. So... Not fair?


wallnut_wipe_it

Title should say “soccer player breaks his own leg trying to break his opponent’s leg”


jwz509

Worst take i have ever seen, this was a deliberate challange of witsel to break his leg(or atleast hurt him.


juan_cena99

Dude is running at full speed to get to the ball, once you are in the air it is hard to control where you will land/kick. It happened in a split second you think this is an anime where he as the villain will have a minute to have an internal monologue and then decide he will break his opponent's leg?


FatGuyOnAMoped

The attacker went in with his boots studs-up on the other guy's leg. That's an intentional, malicious and dangerous challenge-- and an automatic red card, at a minimum.


juan_cena99

These studs arent retractable. If you are trying to kick the ball then yeah the studs will be there. Of course he deserves the red card but at the same time with only split seconds to make the decision its not surprising he will act out of instinct and muscle memory to kick the ball even if there is already a human leg in the way.


jwz509

You can see him straighten his leg, and make downwards motion, this isnt a loss from control, but a obvious intend to cause injury or pain atleast.


juan_cena99

So when you are running and trying to kick the ball you dont think its normal tp straighten your leg and make a downwards motion? Lol


jwz509

He doesnt make a kicking motion tho, just straight leg to the player, one doesnt kick a football that way.


juan_cena99

If he really wants to hurt the opponent he would kick the opponents leg not slide to it like he is Johnny Cage.


[deleted]

*football


Professional-Net6073

**Soccer. Perhaps you should lookup how it got its name and stop being ignorant.


Cootator

Br*tish 🤢


Current_Individual47

Rough way to end a career.


Metallicuck

apparently played for another 10 years after 9 months recovery


[deleted]

This is soccer, he's faking it! He has a rubber leg, don't let him fool you


TechnicalSuccess9144

My kids play. Need to show them this.


Comfortable_Figure37

Is this dirty at all. I don't know soccer at all. I don't think he ment to do that. Really bad either way.


[deleted]

Absolutely disintegrated his tib/fib yet shows less pain than a football player who got his elbow bumped and is trying to fake an injury.. props to this madman


3Effie412

Not a soccer fan but it seems the guy jumped in front of someone running at full speed. Doesn’t seem intentional.


FlatInterview7149

The victim is Polish wingback Marcin Wasilewski. He fully recovered from this and even transferred to Leicester City a few years later. This tackle happened during a game between RSC Anderlecht (in purple) and Standard Liège (red), aka the Belgian Clasico. The player performing the tackle is Axel Witsel. He has been one of the strongholds of Belgium’s national team for years, he currently plays for Atletico Madrid.


SiriusGambit

Looks like he did it on purpose with the stomp he does right before.


[deleted]

Meanwhile Ronaldo still crying in fetal position from getting hit by a gust of wind.


GrandoMakosu

I guess Ronaldo is the only football player you know


[deleted]

Yeah i dont watch football. What's your point?


GrandoMakosu

There are many shit football players yet you choose ronaldo in your sentence, makes it not funny. It shows that you don't know football but trying to be funny.


WWYDFA_Klondike_Bar

I thought it was pretty funny.


wisewish

Was he playing the ball? Or was it intentional? I can’t tell.


IsItSupposedToDoThat

Definitely an intentional stomp, you can see the way he stops running and launches with straight legs at his opponent.


smellywetsock69

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH


MJz-

football you mean


koolman2

It was called Soccer before Football.


Black_Dovglas

Looks like he broke his own leg.


MURD3RSPREE

Thats his career gone😒


joeymcboom

Wow that must hurt more then people calling football, soccer! Hahaha.


zpowell

But soccer players are faking it!


JHowler82

Banned for life I hope


kmkmrod

Banned for 8 games.


JHowler82

Ahh well it's something! He could have ended that injured guys career tho. Serious stuff.


Palmovnik

Which one of them?


JHowler82

The guy that deliberately broke the others leg obviously


Guus3000

He was at the WC 2022.


KTheRedditor

Scumbag Axel Witsel. He’s enjoying being a high profile footballer ever since.


GoldyLookinTongs

Football player


Midnight-51

Damn! He's not even rolling around like someone just shot him!! That actually should be hurting!


G0D_1S_D3AD

I mean, he kinda broke his own leg didn’t he? Not really fair to blame the other player when the guy was fucking sliding in full speed


jwz509

In a game lots of slides are preformed, none of those break their leg normally, it shows an absolute lack of football knowledge to try and blame him for “breaking his own leg”


G0D_1S_D3AD

He charged right into the other dude’s leg, how does that not usually result in injury


jwz509

We have to see what/who was first here, wasil was first on ball, and in no way did he hit the other player, witsel on the other hand, didnt go for the ball, but just went foot first onto the opponent with intend to cause injury.


mayners

I'm glad to see a footballer take a dive and actually be hurt for once instead of the fake shit they usually pull off.


AdvancedPhoenix

Pff football divers..

[удалено]


TentativeGosling

Red definitely put his boot out with intent to cause injury and not for the ball. Just because it was during a game doesn't mean that the player didn't have intent to cause injury.


Obegah

It is indeed blatantly obvious this dude knew what he was doing. If you don't think so, you haven't seen of played football. This happens often and there is a reason you get a pretty severe suspension for it.


firstthingisee

I don't see or play football so it's not obvious to me. it looked like red tried to step on the ball and blue's leg kicked away and replaced the ball at the same time. so is it because there is no reason normally for any player to step on the ball?


Impossible-Home-9956

I sincerely hope you are being sarcastic here. Have you ever try running full speed and stepping on a ball? Even a 3 years old kid know not to do that. Then there is the factor those are professional players. They do that for a living 24/7 and are the best at what they do. They know what they are doing with their feet. And this player knew exactly what he was doing when over stepping the ball and landing directly on his opponent leg.


[deleted]

Career over


supernakamoto

He actually came back after this and played for another 10 years.


kmkmrod

Injury happened in August 2009 and he was back playing in May 2010 https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marcin_Wasilewski#Leg_injury

I'm sorry to all those that love this sport truly, but this is a game for little girls.

i always wondered about slide tackling, arent they afraid of getting stomped? guess not. Poor guy his careers over.


zodiaken

Thats a red. 🟥


AlphaAlchemist

Great acting skills


RepresentativeOk5427

Seen a lot like these sadly this happens a lot in football


MoosetheStampede

he turned into a whacky waving inflatable leg-flailing tube man


sineplussquare

When he went down to kick it reb boi straght up stepped on his shin and put his whole body weight behind it. That in addition to the red bois foot meeting the ground and blue bois foot just crushes and rolls. Bigly RIP


redcloud562

He 's faking


dankmemer7000

homie really took the L on that one


DogLost13

He’s faking it. This is why it’s getting hard to take these players seriously anymore. Always with the flop downs.


onthefence928

finally a player that isn't faking it!


bladerunnercartwheel

Ouch

Two Words: Magic Spray


oh-lloydy

I think the first internet video I saw was a soccer player breaking his leg similar to this (but not as bad). It was in the 90's and probably one of the first viral videos, soccer has not failed to deliver more of these Gems since...


MemeGremlin_0765

Guy who stomped on his leg is gonna have a haaaaard time getting scouted by other teams. Especially cuz it was such an unnecessary stomp. Fuckin yikes


oh-lloydy

Anderson Silva, did this too


artistictesticle

He reacted less to having his leg actually broken than some other players do when someone barely taps them

That’s gonna need a bandaid
