Brave Jaramillo Succumbs to Ankle Injury!

Top football players can command a very high salary as soccer is one of the toughest sports in the world. These athletes have to endure a lot of ferocious challenges when fighting for the ball. The physical nature of the game means there is always a bodily risk in getting injured. Some are serious but not life threatening. Most skillful soccer stars are prone to serious tackles but they can usually walk off the pain if the challenge is not that harmful to the leg or foot. Mentally tough and brave players are highly resilient to most challenging tackles. Experience at tackling also helps to avert a lot of injuries which can turn nasty. That said, star heroes are human after all. Getting knocks to the legs or body has become the norm in a soccer game. But the pain becomes unbearable when the tackle involves the foot or the ankle. The latest soccer boots have become thinner as well. There is almost no protection when the foot is stomped on or when the ankle is caught. Mexican hero Jaramillo can certainly bear testament to nasty foot injuries which forced her to retire with just minutes to go!
