Soccer Player Gets Injured Then Gets His Foot Run Over By The Injury Cart
I suppose that’s one way to stop soccer players from embellishing injuries. If you want to take a dive or flop around like a dead fish every time a defender breathes on you, that’s fine. Just know that the injury cart driver is coming in all gas, no brakes like the ambulance from the old school Madden games.
God that fucking game was awesome. The OG Madden not only had ambulances that appeared to be ghost ridden by Marshawn Lynch, but they also used to have highlights from other Madden games that you watched during halftime of your game. And it wasn’t just a run play that would go 5 yards. It would be long touchdowns and shit you would actually see during a halftime show. I know EA Sports doesn’t HAVE to do anything since they own the NFL license. But bringing back the ambulance and those halftime highlights would make Madden feel a little fresher than it does every season. And making injury carts that were driven by drunk soccer hooligans, or even better robots, would make watching soccer much more fun and show us which players are hurt, injured, or fakers.
Blogger’s Note: I was originally going to blog that the injury cart driver was looking to take that player’s mind off whatever his injury was by going the Major Payne route and running over his foot.
But I went the OG Madden route because football season is almost and I am just coming to grips for how much I am going to miss it. It’s almost cruel that the season ends with the playoffs that usually supply us the best and most memorable games of the year. It’s like eating every single one of your favorite shitty foods then going on a diet cold turkey for the next 8 months. It sucks.
Regardless, Major Payne and John Madden Football (that’s what it’s name was back then) are two pretty fresh and timely references in 2019.
