tackle

Twistiano Ronaldo

 

There’s a bug in a FIFA game (not sure which year) that causes the great Cristiano Ronaldo to do a very uncomfortable kind of tackle. His team doctor must have massively increased his cod liver oil intake.

Sliding tackle

 

A tackle that failed so badly (or was it unluckily) that the poor guy slid right out of that pitch, right out of that football ground and slid straight onto the bus for the ride of shame home.

Messi’s tackle

 

A slow-motion shot of Argentine and FC Barcelona football legend Lionel Messi tackling and nutmegging an opponent during an Argentina-Bolivia match. This is why he was on the cover of FIFA 16, dammit.

I don’t know what’s more silly. The fact that this footballer was (nearly) tackled by one of his own teammates, or that the tackle was poorly executed (with comical results). Painful.
