There's brittle and there's someone hitting the middle of your leg with their entire force. That tackle would have snapped an elephant's leg in two.

Why didn't it receive a red card? It didn't even receive a yellow. Bad referee?

Because he got the ball with his front foot. Though to the letter of the law it should have been a straight red and a penalty through reckless and excessive force.

The possession play without an end result is coming back to haunt us again. Dominating the game, 230 more passes than PSV, barely threat into our half the entire game yet losing.

"English" teams no longer seem to have the knack of European football.  Not long ago they were dominant.  I think Manuel Pellegrini will be judged by his European performance given the availability of Jurgen Klopp.  However Man City have also been hit by injuries (Aguero, Delph, Sterling just back from injury).  

I put "English" in quotes because most of them are filled with overseas players, managed by overseas managers, and owned by overseas businessmen.

Pedantic I know but a 2 footed scissor tackle is impossible.

A two footer is tackling with both feet, a scissor is tackling with one and scissoring the opponent with the non tackling leg after the leading foot tackles.

You do kind of need two feet for scissors though, if not it's just a knife.

Yes, hence saying a 2 footer means both feet tackling.

Not strictly true. A two footed tackle isnt automatically two feet together. You'd never see it, but if we're being pedantic it is definitely possible.

Wishing Luke Shaw a full recovery from a horrific injury. Shaw, IMO, is one of the best LBs going around and an injury like this is so unfair.

The referee(Nicola Rizzoli) should be ashamed for taking no action for such violent tackle. This is a referee whom has previously done a CL and WC final.

Double fracture confirmed.  I think Hero's assessment is right (but recognise everyone around Luke Shaw have to be positive to keep him motivated to recover).

Devastating injury to a player who was going to really breakthrough this year & showcase what a talent he was. I believe Aaron Ramsey had the same injury, took him about two years to fully recover & get over his psychological issues, as a result of the injury. Looked like it avoided the ankle & knee, so hopefully it's just a clean break & that with the best surgery & physio, he can come back as strong as ever for club & country. I guess a positive, if you can call it that, is that it's not his favoured left leg. 

Terrible news & now a long slog of a recovery ahead. I think it will be closer to 18 months+ out probably, as United won't rush him back, given his age. Looks like England will now have to rely upon Leighton Baines for the Euro's, although he showed in the WC, how out of his depth he is at that top level.

Good luck in the recovery, Luke.

I'd guess that Shaw could be out for around 12-18 months but you do see other athletes recover much faster than the time it would take years ago. Steven Stamkos broke his tibia against a goal post in November 2013 and was back playing in March 2014.

Luke Shaw what a man, let's hope he comes back as strong as possible.

Disgraceful tackle. There is no need to swing the trailing through once you have played the ball. Only reason to do so would be to cause injury.

Re the ref, I think he was in shock.

Think people are way off, in terms of the timescale. 18 months is ridiculous, if it's a simple double break, no complications, then it should be in the six to eight month range. They had it on Sky earlier, Eduardo had the double break near the ankle & had infections. He was the worst case & was out for 12 months in total. Henrik Larsson suffered a double break & was out for just 212 days, Bryan Oviedo was out for 218 days & Antonio Valencia was back in action within six months.

If its a break, then it shouldn't really (but with less than adequate rehabbing can of course happen) affect him any which way. Generally speaking, the structure damaged comes back stronger if its a broken bone. Only if it was a ligament rupture would concern really arise. those can be dicey.

To be honest, I'd only care for the fitness of Sturridge & Shaw. Wilshere is pretty much a lost cause & the rest should be nowhere near the first team.

Florenzi's goal for Roma was pretty incredible

Because he rips apart a side from Azerbaijan? Talk about getting carried away.

Am I really getting carried away when I say "could"?  His wiki page has the following:

He joined the youth system at MK Dons aged 11 and broke into the first team five years later [that would make him 16 years old], during the 2012–13 season. Over the next two-and-a-half years he made 74 league appearances for MK Dons, scoring 22 goals, and played for the England U17, U18 and U19 teams.

So of course one always must be careful in making predictions, but I feel that my cautious "could" comment was justified.  I accept others may disagree.  But it is not as if England is blessed with new young talent.  Most cannot get into premiership team. He certainly deserves to be put on the radar.
