The U-17 World Cup match between the United States and Croatia Tuesday afternoon in Chile featured a stirring 2-0 comeback from the Croatians to salvage a 2-2 draw. But the REAL highlight moment of the match occurred between two Croatian teammates in the second half in something you don’t normally see at any level in soccer.
Injured soccer player takes too long leaving the field, so his teammate picks him up and drops him to the ground
With teammates like this, who needs opponents?


Here you have No. 7 Josip Brekalo see his ailing teammate, No. 16 Marko Gjira on the field. Rather than have the medical staff come on and help Gjira off, watch how Brekalo picks him up and throws him onto the ground.
This Croatian kid wasn't having any of his teammate's time wasting. pic.twitter.com/mPD3xKHpMP

Damn, Croatia player just pulled Savage Move of the Day, picks up his crying and allegedly hurt teammate, throws him on sidelines #PlayOn
