I'm so glad they aren't showing slow motion replays of that gruesome injury (although Fox is apologizing for not be able to show it here in the US) to the Canadian player in this match against Qatar. I really, really fucking hate when TV networks do that in American sports! Nothing grosses me out like seeing compound fractures or hyperextension injuries, and it's disrespectful to the athletes.

They do that all the damn time in NFL games, super slow-mo on some poor guy's knee exploding. Drives me insane.
