Hey, want to see a soccer player try to stick his entire arm up another player’s ass?
I’ve complained a lot lately about people interrupting soccer matches with explosives, but having watched this clip, I’d prefer that over the alternative. This is Saudi Premier League midfielder Modeste M’bami going elbow-deep on Khaled Al-Zaylai and getting away with it, and I guess the silver lining here is that he didn’t pull out with one of Al-Zaylai’s kidneys.
In the 50th minute of a match between M’bami’s Ittihad and Al Nassr, Al-Zaylai was tripped from behind and fell on the ball. Ex-Camerooon international M’bami was eager to get his opponent away from the ball, so as the ref blew his whistle for the foul, M’bami jammed his hand up Al-Zaylai’s backside as if he was trying to use the Saudi midfielder as a ventriloquist’s dummy. Though Al-Zaylai clearly didn’t appreciate this, he remained surprisingly calm and didn’t retaliate as play continued. (via Dirty Tackle)
So yeah, bring on the grenades. I don’t know what’s scarier … the chance that your opponent might Shawshank Redemption you if you fall down, or the fact that the refs won’t do anything to him for throwing a forearm in you. If a guy decides he wants to uppercut me in the upper intestines, I demand swift justice.
Additional Note: I think we use the Reasons To Hate Soccer” tag more than we use Kate Upton.


It’s fun to see clips like this, especially when foreign nationals argue with a straight face that American sports encourage violence. This would never happen in the NFL.
Well, unless Ndamukong Suh is playing.
That guy’s got the moves that make the ladies go…
no seriously the ladies just go, they can’t be there because Saudi Arabia. WORST – Saudi Arabia.
Where do we go from here? Shoving grenades up the soccer players’ butts!?
Challenge accepted.
