Injuries are a part of every sport. A hockey player might lose three or four teeth in a game, while never leaving the ice. In American football, 49ers defensive back Ronnie Lott once had part of his pinkie finger amputated so he could keep playing.

You can’t be too careful with a head injury. That’s why it’s best to go down before any contact can take place and then writhe on the ground, holding your cranium, and thinking about what might’ve happened.
Play can resume after you walk off the pitch, give your head and face a squirt with the Gatorade bottle to remove any non-concussion concussion symptoms.

Soccer is more like American football than people may think and this injury proves it. After a clash of heads the
