Footie

Today, playing soccer, I jumped up to make a header and clear the ball away from our goal. I got the ball but some guy kicked me in the face. I was taken off. All the parents were horrified, saying how badly my nose must have broken. Turns out my nose was fine. That's just how my nose looks. FML

Today, I had a soccer game. A player from the other team hit me in the face. In the next half, she was the goalie and I was determined to score on her. When I finally got my chance to, everyone cheered, until I kicked the ball into the goal post and it bounced back and hit me in the face. FML

Today, at a soccer game held by my girlfriend's family, some idiot went to kick the ball, missed by a mile, and hit the ground hard. So I started a slow, sarcastic clap. I got a load of angry looks, followed by verbal abuse when we found out he'd split his head open on the ground. FML

Today, I was playing one on one soccer with a girl like. I accidentally kicked the ball right into her face. The ball rolled back towards me and as I was running to see if she was ok, I kicked the ball… right into her face again. FML

Today, at work I was playing football with one of my camp kids in the indoor-pool. I saw a co-worker walking by and I decided to hit him with the football. The football slipped out of my hand and I hit a lady in the face, breaking her nose, and causing her to fall and get a concussion. FML

Today, I was sitting on a fence watching a friend play soccer. He accidentally kicked the ball at my face and made me fall off the fence into mud. I laughed it off and got back on the fence. Two seconds later he did the same exact thing. I fell wrong and slammed my face into the fence. Pain. FML

Today, during a soccer game, some utter moron got the bright idea of trying to score a goal from his side of the field. I sarcastically made a big show of just barely stopping the ball, and nailed it off to the side. The ball hit a kid so hard in the head that he had to go to the hospital. FML

Headshot

Today, I was walking around in a park when I pass some kids playing soccer. One of them kicks the ball as hard as he could at me. Luckily I catch the ball. Then I drop kick the ball, intending to say "go get it." Instead it ricochets of a nearby tree and hits my face. FML

Today, I got hit in the face at a dodge-ball tournament. My entire mouth was bloody. The sad thing is, I wasn't even playing. FML

Today, I was walking down the street, when I saw a guy in front of me trip and fall forwards, and I quickly jumped forward to steady him. Apparently he thought he was being mugged, and threw his head backwards into my face, leaving my nose a bloody mess. FML

They didn't need to be so nosy. Congrats on getting the ball though.

When that happened to me I blacked out for a few minutes. Hey, on the bright side at least you will have an excuse, and a bad ass story!

Everyone wear cleats in soccer. And cleats aren't sharpened, it wouldn't hurt as bad as it sounds.

Don't sweat it, OP. Tyler, The Creator has big ears and a gap between his upper teeth, but does he give a **** on what other people think? **** no, and you should definitely do the same, OP.

i feel like all of these people would KNOW thats what your nose looks like, are you sure they didnt just think it was broken from watching the impact and not the looks?

Correction: in America, it's called soccer. Everywhere else, especially Europe, it's called football.

We call it soccer here in Australia. Football usually refers to Rugby or Australian Football League rules (A.F.L).

OP could live in the UK but be originally from a country which refers to it as soccer. Or, because this site almost certainly has more readers from outside the UK than from in it, he could just have decided to call it soccer so that most people would understand which sport he was referring to. After all, as far as I know, soccer only refers to one sport, but football could be understood as several different things.

Thanks for clearing that up guys. But in the US, there "soccer" and "football" are 2 very different things. I know cause I live there. Go Manchester United! You know, the English football/soccer whatever-you-wanna-call-it team.
