In the Face!

If you had told me yesterday, when I was all mopey and depressed about the futility of life, that today I would get to use my "little kids getting beaned in the head" tag twice I would have told you "meh"... yesterday really sucked.

the dirtiest 12 year old soccer player in the world

First off let me apologize for the awful quality of this video. It literally looks like someone captured it with their camera off a computer screen playing the video. However if you can get past that, and the 20-30 seconds of boredom at the beginning you'll find glorious video of some 12 year old just crushing kids on a soccer field in Hong Kong. If you really want just skip to the 1:36 mark where he kicks some poor kid in the head.

story time: Last week my rec team was getting blasted 4-1, 5-1 something like that. None of our midfielders (except you Guenna) were getting back on defense and when we actually gained possession of the ball we couldn't string 2 passes together. Hell, we couldn't string one pass together. Anyhoo, this one guy on the other team had 3 goals and after the third I decided that the next time he got the ball I was going to foul him, hard. Now I've never been a dirty player, it's been years since my last yellow card, but there's only so many step-overs and pull backs you can take from a guy before you start to lose it. Especially when the game is essentially over and the rest of your team has decided that defense is for sissies.

Long story long, I tried to trip the guy (in the box no less!) and I very unexpectedly got all ball. It was the most disappointing clean tackle I've ever made.

Heads Up!

I'd like to think that videos of kids getting hit in the head are much more sophisticated than videos of grown men getting hit in the crotch.
