That sound you hear is 100,000 sharp intakes of breath.
Javier Mascherano may have been an absolute hero against the Netherlands but it came at a cost to the Barcelona midfielder - he tore his anus while defending a shot from Arjen Robben.
The 30-year-old had to be taken off in the first half after suffering a clash of heads with Georginio Wijnaldum, battling back superbly to put in a man of the match performance.
In a game of very few chances, Robben came closest to opening the scoring towards the end but his shot was blocked by the outstretched leg of Mascherano.
Unfortunately for the former Liverpool man, the consequences were just a little bit dire.
