Nigel De Jong put in one of the dirtiest tackles of the MLS season on Darlington Nagbe. The former Ajax starlet only received a yellow card for the challenge but retroactive action looms as the world takes notice of his poor reputation.
There are two types of deep-lying central midfielders in soccer: those known to put in the hard challenges, sit in front of the center backs and do the "dirty work" of the game and those who sit back and spray smart passes all over the field.
Nigel De Jong is the former of those two options and he did a very bad thing Sunday night.
