AUSTRALIAN star Jordy Bos had to be carried from the field in the World Cup last 32 tie against Egypt following a horror tackle.
And the offender didn’t even receive a yellow card – much to the chagrin of Aussie boss Paul Okon.

The Feyenoord left-back, 23, was on the end of a strong tackle from Egyptian Zizo.
To be fair, Hafez won the ball first but he also went straight through Bos leaving the speedster receiving treatment for a substantial period of time.
As Bos eventually left the field at half-time, he could be seen unable to put any weight on his left leg before he was replaced by Kai Trewin.
Okon told SBS at half-time: “Terrible tackle.
“From what we understand, the referee played advantage but he doesn’t come back and book the player.
“Disappointing.”
