The Worst Ankle Twist Ever

I am looking for translators to translate this post into German. Email me if you are interested.

This post has been translated into into Korean here (한국). Spanish translation (en Español). Portuguese translation (em Português).

This is another messed up video, but compared to the rest it is not that bad. It shows a soccer game. This is a 2007 game between Cruz Azul and Tecos UAG, two Mexican professional soccer teams. The injured player is named Carlos Andrade. He was very badly injured in this incident, and his ankle was fractured. He was laid up for many months but has made a full recovery.

Halfway through the video, one of the players charges another player and tries to kick the ball away from him, but in the process, he somehow twists his ankle at a complete 90 degree angle!

It remains that way while he is on the ground. We then see a team on the ground attempting to deal with his injury. Next he is being carried off the field on a stretcher. His ankle is still twisted at an un-Godly angle, not really 90 degrees, but maybe 80 degrees or so.

I've never seen or even heard of an ankle twist that bad, but perhaps they are more common than one might think.

This gives a whole new meaning to the phrase twisting one's ankle!
