Nigel de Jong is an asshole

I usually don’t write short blog posts, but the Nigel De Jong tackle on Stuart Holden has fired me up.
On a scale of 1-10, it was a 9.3 on the horrific scale. It was way worse than Ryan Shawcross’ tackle on Aaron Ramsey last weekend. I have no idea what De Jong was thinking, but watching the play a half dozen time it looks like he was trying to break Holden’s leg. How he got away with not getting a card goes far beyond unbelievable.
It’s halftime of the match right now and ESPN has said practically nothing about how terrible the tackle was. I should be amazed by that but I’m not. More on this later when I come out with the report card but I just hope Holden doesn’t have a broken shin.

Honestly, that was way worse the Clark’s or Kljestan’s at Confeds. If an American makes that challenge they get sent off. Fires me up too. That and about a dozen terrible calls on hard-but-fair Bradley tackles.

He’s finished now. After the shameful display in the final, his stock didn’t exactly rise.

Well yesterday he did it again. Another leg broken in 2010 – that’s beginning to be a little more than bad luck isn’t it?

So glad to see some commentary about Nigel de Jong. He’s a dirty player, and it is disappointing that he is allowed to play at all. It’s not nice to watch, it’s a horrid example to up and coming players, and it is a disgrace for the beautiful game. Boo, de Jong! Go home.
