Maybe they should've stretchered him off - it must be a DREADFUL injury, getting hit in the leg by a soccerball. You know those hamstrings can be damn sensitive.
believe me, it can be painfull, especially when the ball is wet. And if the shot was from a guy like batistuta you probably can't walk for about a week. Unfortunatly footballplayers these days considder acting like they die in the penaltyarea a form of art. Not only are they begging for a penaltykick, they also beg the ref to pull a yellow card on the guy who tackled him. It's mostly the south american and southern european teams that do this, it's disgusting !
