This is awful. He's 29 yo.

Lots of discussion recently about teens bypassing college to go pro. Teens should not be competing against adult men.

...The club said in a stmnt that initial tests revealed “a fracture to the 1st cervical vertebra” & a cut to the back of the head. He is set for further tests with a specialist neurosurgeon, the club added

Klinsmann posted on Instagram to say his season was over and thanked Cesena and Palermo fans...

I found myself thinking about the late American soccer journalist Grant Wahl, who died while covering the World Cup in Qatar in 2022.

Wish you were here, Grant.
