Malicious Monday: Nigel De Jong’s Kung-Fu Kick on Xabi Alonso
Posted by Eric Beard
While Howard Webb really did an overall excellent job refereeing the World Cup Final, the Netherlands should have gone a man down in the first half. Nigel De Jong went absolutely mental and decided to give Spain’s Xabi Alonso a kick in the chest. How Xabi went on to play the rest of the game, I have no idea. De Jong should be ashamed of himself to make such a rash tackle, but he probably won’t be. After all, this isn’t the first time the Dutch midfielder has done something like this while wearing Oranje, just ask Stuart Holden….
