Horror Tackle Nets Belgian 10-Match Ban



It's not everyday a soccer highlight on YouTube nets an age warning restriction. Standard Liege ace Axel Witsel's tackle on Anderlecht's Marcin Wasilewski this weekend in a Belgian league match certainly warranted such a warning. (Again, you've been warned.)

If your stomach is strong enough to watch the clip, Witsel's ban until Nov. 23 doesn't seem that out of line, especially since Polish international Wasilewski's broken leg will keep him out for up to 12 months and will certainly next June's World Cup. Witsel should miss at least 10 league matches and Standard Liege's upcoming Champions League matches.
