Is he faking? I bet he's faking.

A Belgian soccer player identified as Julien Lecomte reportedly picked a terrible time to suffer a concussion and three displaced vertebrae. After he was elbowed in the back of the head in the box, Lecomte went down in a heap, as soccer players often do. Lecomte wasn't merely trying to draw a foul, though, unless he's really good at faking serious injuries.

The referee wasn't buying Lecomte's injuries, leading to the incredible image of the ref issuing a red card for diving while Lecomte's prone body lies on a stretcher.

Check out the incident in the video below.
