Cameroon player dies after semi-final

[Solver]

Cameroon football player Marc-Vivien Foe collapsed during the semi-final against Columbia in Confederation cup, which Cameroon won. His heart stopped, and after less than an hour, he died without getting conscious, after unsucesfull attempts of doctors to restart his heart.

Very sad .

Damn......

(Wow, ameroon and Colombia made it to the semi's.) who's the other semifinalist?

[Solver]

France and Turkey, they're playing their semi right now. So it's Cameroon against either of those in the final. And I'd bet on Turkey.

Aw man. I remember watching him, he used to play for West Ham.

I've always loved the Cameroon side, they play the game the way it's meant to be played.

He's also a player for Manchester United Reserves.

Bet drugs were involved in there, and of course will be hushed up a lot.

Do you HAVE to make these comments, Bods? You know, they get checked for drugs well enough, and this is a very, very faint chance. Show some respect...

A lot of people in football take drugs. Dropping down dead is a classic give away sign of abuse. Tests are inadequate too.

Another reason it will get hushed up, he is black.

[Solver]

A lot of people take drugs after they stopped playing football. Take Maradona for example. And he didn't drop dead... he died afterwards. His heart stopped, which, to me, is a perfectly valid sign of it not being able to take the physical pressure.

"A lot of people take drugs after they stopped playing football. Take Maradona for example"

You are joking right...

[JCG]

Poor man. We shouldn't be taking drugs into consideration until tests are done, but then that wouldn't diminish the tragedy of his death.

...

France vs. Cameroon will probably be the final...Turkey's losing 3-1 right now. Turkey will likely beat Colombia for 3rd place though.

[Solver]

I can't see what are you laughing at... OK, so Maradona did use some stuff while playing, but that was when he was already on the downside of his playing careet. And, if he hadn't used it, he would've played in 1994 World Cup...

[Solly]

"And, if he hadn't used it, he would've played in 1994 World Cup..."

He didn't?

Yep, drugs it is.

The first Turkey Cameroon match was not that great. Nice to see Cameroon make it to the finals.

marc vivien foe, as in the man city player??

very sad news

[Drogue]

A great tragedy Much as I would like to think it was simply from stress and overwork, I do not wish to be naive. Cameroon are a great side, and have been for quite some time. The style is so distinctive and vibrant, it's hard not to be enthralled by it. A great loss for the sport, however it came about.
