World Cup Face-Mimicking

The 'Ouch I've Been Fouled' Competition Pokes Fun at Soccer Injuries

This hilarious 'Ouch I've Been Fouled' website asks viewers of World Cup soccer to send in their best imitation of soccer players and their injuries. Everyone knows (including pro soccer players) that generally injuries on the soccer pitch are a bit dramatic, especially during major games like the World Cup.

World Identity Lab decided to make a collage of World Cup fans' best 'Ouch I've Been Fouled' faces. The result is hilarious; I'm considering sending in my own imitation.
