World Cup 2010 - Worst Tackles Ever Suffered

World Cup 2010 - Worst Tackles Ever Suffered


Xabi Alonso isn't impressed with Netherlands midfielder Nigel De Jong, after a kung-fu style challenge on the Spain star during the World Cup final 2010.


Despite claiming the trophy after a 1-0 win, Alonso still had no sympathy for De Jong, brandishing the challenge "one of the worst" he'd ever been on the receiving end of.

Quite how referee Howard Webb decided it was not worthy of a red card is a topic of debate among Spanish fans, and even De Jong admitted he was lucky to still be on the pitch afterwards.
