The World Cup is officially underway and so far the games
have been super exciting. From Algeria’s
first goal in 28 years, to Guillermo Ochoa’s wonder save against Neymar, to
Portugal’s nail-biter goal in the final seconds of their game against the US,
FIFA fans worldwide have not been disappointed!
Opening week was off to a blazing start with 16 matches and
49 goals, or 3.06 goals per game (the highest average in 44 years)! Since then
we have seen teams both conquer the pitch and the odds and collapse under the
pressure. So far a number of teams have been knocked out of the finals,
including the reigning defenders Spain, but still more will see a sad end
before the tournament is over.
With the victories and defeats we have also seen a wide
array of minor and major soccer injuries, some that have been treated and
others that have meant a heartbreaking end at the World Cup for some players.
Anyone who plays the game knows that common soccer injuries, such as
tendinitis, torn ligaments, or various ankle injuries, can quickly ruin a
player’s game, and the boys in Brazil are all too familiar with the results.
If you’ve been out celebrating World Cup by playing, but
have found yourself in the same painful position as some of the FIFA players,
suffering from one of the common soccer injuries, seek treatment right away to
avoid long term impacts to your own game.
