Some people say soccer's not a contact sport. But those people have never been smoked in the face from three feet away by a soccer ball (or, if they have, they don't remember it). TodayBayer Leverkusen's Christoph Kramer unenviably treated Europa League fans to a scene more common after a car crash or, say, pretty much any Cincinnati Bengals game, when he was stretchered off the field with what is probably a severe concussion. The blow to his coconut is not the first of Kramer's severe head problems (which makes it even worse) as he stated last year that he remembers nothing of the 2014 World Cup Final as a result of being concussed in that contest.
