Nefarious World Cup Villain Mark Van Bommel Gets His Comeuppance
Soccer, Video January 27th. 2012, 11:42am
Mark Van Bommel got punched in the face during last night’s Coppa Italia quarterfinal between Milan and Lazio. He had it coming. It’s not so much the studs-in tackles, the testicle tweaks or the homicidal elbows that distinguish the Dutchman, but the frequency, the shamelessness and the restraint. He never injures, just causes an immense amount of pain. Van Bommel neither pantomimes nor feigns innocence, he is dissociated.
It is a shame that Van Bommel did not predate satellite television and the Internet. Scarcity and incomplete analysis would have enhanced his legend. Here are some of his greatest hits.
- UFC 146: Roy Nelson Knocked Out Dave Herman
- UFC 146: Stefan Struve Probably Broke Lavar Johnson’s Arm
- Bench Clearing Brawl Between Indiana and Purdue In Big Ten Title Game
- Philadelphia 76ers at Boston Celtics, Game 7

Van Bommel’s thuggery is the yang to Barcelona’s Sergio Busquetts’ diving and pantomiming ying.

For soccer, that wasn’t a bad punch at all. And it seems like the officials all missed it completely.

Anyone who has to fight, even with the most modern weapons, against an enemy in complete command of the
airpitch, fights like a savage against modern Europeantroops, under the same handicaps and with the same chances of success.-mark van rommel

I remember standing to win money if Spain beat Holland and being outraged at the Dutch’s eighty years war tactics.

Soccer players get in the way of soccer way, way too much.
If you’re gonna punch someone on TV, freaking punch them.

Um, were those “dirty hits” all that bad?

He got him hard right in the side of the head and the ear. It probably stunned the shit out of the guy. And he did it without getting noticed (and probably red carded). He was trying to get some revenge without getting in trouble. The point was made. This isn’t hockey where you cna really lay into someone with only minor official retribution.

In every example, he wasn’t going for the ball, he was trying to hit the other guy. And yes, going cleats first into the side of a guys leg is bad. You catch it right and it’ll break the other players leg.

Do you talk like you write? Because I read your posts with the same voice that I use when I read Drew Magary’s version of Jason Garrett.

You could have also gone with Mohammed Sissoko. He’s had a couple pretty nasty injuries.
