Re: Goalkeeper Dies While Celebrating Saving a Penalty
This happens ever year or so where I live in Baseball games. The ball hits the chest and causes the heartbeat to go into an arrhythmia pattern that does not compress and keep the blood flowing properly. Basically it just quivers like a bowl of gelatin and with no blood flow you pass out and die.

Re: Goalkeeper Dies While Celebrating Saving a Penalty
Soccer (Futbol) seems more idiotic than most team sports. The only thing more faggy IMHO is the American football quarterback reaching into the bent over guy's ass to get the ball to start the play. That has true homosexual overtones. Strangely, soccer is more dangerous than it looks. I played lacrosse and soccer in high school, and we had 3X more injuries in soccer. A fully broken leg, broken nose, tons of torn tendons. The leg muscles are strong and you are swinging them thru opponents legs. |

Re: Goalkeeper Dies While Celebrating Saving a Penalty
As much as I dislike 99.9% of your comments. I like this one. It's not inventive, fictional, biased, rude, racist or fucked up! Now... that's something!  (Growing up perhaps!) |

Re: Goalkeeper Dies While Celebrating Saving a Penalty
Terrible way to die, taking a hit to the chest by a soccer ball like that? Look at the way it bounces after it hits him. Honestly, I don't think there are ambulances for kids games? Unless that's an Argentinian thing? |

Re: Goalkeeper Dies While Celebrating Saving a Penalty
There’s something particularly sad about this to me. It looks like a small community game with family and friends cheering and chatting in the stands. The way they cheered for the goalie reminded me of how we cheer for our kids at sporting events, which is what got me the worst! So sad

Re: Goalkeeper Dies While Celebrating Saving a Penalty
It didn’t look like the ball hit him in the chest. In fact, it looked like he started to stumble a bit just before the play.

Re: Goalkeeper Dies While Celebrating Saving a Penalty
So I'd agree this is probably a case of 'commotio cordis'. This can occur to a healthy heart, especially prior to adulthood as the chest cavity hasn't fully developed and is more vulnerable. An AED (defibrillator) would give a higher chance of survival as, contrary to what the article says, this was not cardiac arrest, that comes later. This was most likely ventricular fibrillation, which is the same symptom as (but not to be confused with what is) seen in apparently healthy sports players who drop dead as a result of underlying cardiomyopathy. A defibrillator is useless on somebody who has undergone cardiac arrest, which is the total absence of a heartbeat, but increases the odds of survival on somebody experiencing a dangerous arrhythmia. Very, very sad - there's nobody the blame, it's simply bad luck of the draw. |
