A Broken Nose (2014)

Ghanaian footballer, John Boye knew that the best way to defeat USA in 2014 was by using his quick feet. Only his quick feet were used a little too well, especially when they broke the nose of Clint Dempsey. Dempsey still soldiered on and despite having a hard time breathing, played until USA won 2-1.
