Soccer, or football as the rest of the world calls it, is not really known as a violent game. Sure, there’s the occasional kick or stomp, but nothing quite like this:

During a match between the Brisbane Wolves Football Club and Peninsula Power FC, Kado Aoci of the Wolves looked like he had a clear path to the goal. However, Peninsula defender Luke Gauci took him out with a vicious clothesline.

It turns out that clotheslining your opponent as he is about to dribble past you is not allowed. Personally, I love how the clothesliner stays down on the ground and pretends to care about the guy he just knocked unconscious. “I swear, I just wanted to slow him down, I didn’t mean to knock him the hell out!” Soccer players are known for being dramatic floppers, but this dude is almost definitely knocked out cold.

In the meantime, he will use his extensive couch-potato skills and Wall-Street outsider perspective to bring loyal readers small doses of insanity every day. In return, he fully expects every reader to mail him gold coins. So, get on that.
