I'm completely confused as he catches it and IMMEDIATELY kicks the ball straight to the sideline without any pressure. Then I read the commentary: "And now

can receive medical attention." The medics promptly trot in. As they kicked the ball out of bound intentionally to stop play, the ball is turned over to us. At which point, Gael Glichy immediately threw the ball out of bound [if that makes sense] to give the opposing team a goal kick.


I know this sounds like a ridiculously miniscule thing to be going ga-ga about [when I have so much more significant things to do so about] but I think it's insanely awesome that the SI team managed to get this into the engine. It adds . . . I don't know. It adds some "life" or something. I'm sure someone else can find better and more eloquent way of what it adds but all I can say about it would be: "cooooooool."

Kudos, SI team.

I've seen this happen in FM 05, FWIW.
