Nasty clash of heads between Smalling and Huntelaar in the Holland's 3-2 win over England.  Huntelaar made contact with the ball a millisecond before Smalling (going for the ball) made contact with him.  Looked like both players were knocked out before they hit the ground... certainly Huntelaar was.  Blood all over the box...

Both players hospitalized, sadly... hope they're okay.

I dunno about all ah dat nah... I sure if either ah dem know what the outcome woulda be both ah dem, given the chance again, would pull out.  Smalling suffer a buss head, but judging by the "thousand-yard stare" in his eyes, looks like a concussion too.  The picture of Huntelaar on his back, hands frozen in the air... dai'z just how he look on de video too.  This clip was the Sky feed... the Fox feed might been even more graphic.  Top it off, Huntelaar land face first (ala Drogba vs. Norwich), hence the grass in he mouth... and the broken nose.

I agree with you dey. As much as I am for total commitment, sometime a second guess does be beneficial. Them 2 men should not play ball for a couple of days period.

One man seeing the ball and naturally think head to goal the other seeing the ball and saying get it away, playing for their country no second thoughts about injury, no playground training stuff as far as they were concerned , i would call that total committment.
That is the reason club coachs dislike these friendlies.

no. italy had the larger share of everything..chances, posession, territorial domination etc..just that in friendlies they tend to not give an ass and their performance was quite mediocre..US came out to play tho. and i must say that since Bradley has joined chievo he is a much much better player i was always impressed with how he adjusted to serie a...i actually have respect for a US player

Total commitment, and misfortune.  The margin between the norm and a career ending injury is often very small... I hope they both make full recoveries and can continue playing without the mind-f*ck that incidents like this could bring about.  Look at Petr Cech and how long it took him to become himself again in goal, even after officially coming back...

Kicker and Fishs... I understand all dat.  All I saying is I doubt either ah dem men say "I going fuh dat ball... I really doh care if I knock mihself out in de process I throwing caution tuh de wind."  Instead I think each player saw the ball and legitimately thought the ball was his to win and didn't really give any thought to getting injured. 

Looking at the number of balls headed in the box, the number of serious injuries are very low and so in my mind they didn't even give it a thought.  Is not like a 50-50 challenge on the ground where somebody know they coming out with ah jam foot.  To me "total commitment" includes both a calculation, and disregard of the risk.  Maybe I overanalyzing it, but I just find it hard to accept "total commitment" in this case.

I wasn't disagreeing with what you wrote... just adding the element of misfortune.

Not sure if total commitment always (or in this case) involves a calculation - The ability to totally commit is probably due to the failure (or inability because things happen so fast) to fully calculate, or as you say they mighta held back or pulled out of the challenge altogether... In the end I think it was misfortune - the timing and the inches just didn't work out right - i.e. there was nothing reckless on either side of the ball - just two hard back men going after the ball with everything they had.  Hunt looked like he was dead!!

Agree with you on everything.  The look like he was dead talk is good talk.  Look at how his hands (and eyes) are frozen in the moment.  Remember he was tracking the ball coming in from his right and as he turned in that instant flicking his head to the left, his eyes would have been looking all the way right... just as he was knocked out.  His eyes still looking right.

Meanwhile doh fuhget poor Smalling on de grung... dat man staring off into outerspace.

Spain vs. Puerto Rico.

BAYAMON, Puerto Rico–World Cup champion Spain will play 134th-ranked Puerto Rico in an international friendly in August.

Federation spokesman Jorge Carretero says the match will be played on Aug. 15, a short time after Spain attempts to defend its European Championship title in Poland and Ukraine.

The match is expected to be played at the 12,500-capacity Juan Ramon Loubriel Stadium in Bayamon.

Carretero says it is Spain’s ”obligation” to play against teams ”from all continents” and it has played most of its friendly matches overseas since winning the World Cup.

Carretero says there is no agreement forcing Real Madrid and Barcelona players to be in the squad and ”the players picked by the coach will go.”

Who: Spain men’s national team vs Puerto Rico men’s national team

What: International FIFA Friendly

Where: Estadio Juan Ramon Loubriel (Bayamon, Puerto Rico)

When: August 15, 2012

Why: It only is the most important match in Puerto Rico’s early soccer history. It also is the first time that Spain visits the Caribbean.

It was basically Jamaica's C team against Costa Rica's C team and Jamaica had a man sent off for two yellow (the first of which was apparently not all warranted).  I wouldn't put too much stock in to it.
