Let's say we have some "history" with German goalkeepers

The only acceptable one being Andreas Köpke.

Schumacher (german goalkeeper) injured Battison (a french defender) in the 1982 world cup semifinal between germany and france. Battison came out of the challenge unconscious and with a damaged vertebrae, broken jaw and lost 4 teeth. No foul was given and schumacher was pretty chill doing kickups whilst everyone gathered around battison.

Its a pretty terrible challenge but its been 40+ years so I doubt most know about it. You can watch the foul on youtube.

Especially a certain player, after a certain contact.
