Not content with punting a shot into an Arsenal fan's facial region at the World Cup, Jan 'rocket foot' Vertonghen has kicked a ball at a girl's face during a Belgium training session.

A photo emerged of a concerned Jan Vertonghen standing over a young Belgian girl who appears to be holding an ice pack in the vacant chasm where her face used to be.

Jan's expression clearly reads: "I need to stop doing things like this."

A Belgian team doctor can be seen preparing a magic sponge, while four other unidentified staff members stand around just to make the girl even more uncomfortable than she already is.

We know they're called Les Diables Rouges, but this just takes Belgium's devilish, abominable evil to an entirely new level, not long after they knocked the heroic USMNT out of the World Cup.

At the time of writing, Jan Vertonghen had failed to tweet an apology to "football fans everywhere", and we can only assume that this means he feels no remorse.

(Please note: Jan Vertonghen is one of the nicest men in the world and stayed with the girl until she came around, after being knocked out).
