Previous Nigel de Jong victim on his latest horror tackle: "It makes me feel sick"

Related Topics: Nigel de Jong, Stuart Holden

Poor Darlington. Poor Stu.

No one knows what it feels like to be in Darlington Nagbe's place right now better than Stuart Holden. After Nagbe was carried off the field after sustaining a leg injury from a reckless Nigel de Jong tackle, FOX Sports cameras turned to Stuart Holden.

Holden, 30, is a former United States international who was forced to retire prematurely due to a series of unfortunate injuries. One of the most severe injuries Holden picked up was the result of a very similar tackle by none other than Nigel de Jong in a friendly between the USA and the Netherlands in 2010.
