And fair play to terry henry for his goal dedication last night.

Good picture in the paper of 5/6 French players standing around Henry all pointing to the sky...

Is it France and Cameroon in the final?

Should be an emotional affair...

[J.O.F.A.S]

According to Harry Redknapp he was about to sign Foe for Portsmouth.........

MAN CITY HAVE RETIRED THE NUMBER 23..........BEST GESTURE POSSIBLE I THINK..............Nice gesture by Theirry Henry too!

RIP

I say play the final for Foe

Absolutly shocking news, really terrable.

Heres the chronology of it according to FIFA

Terrible news. Hes a great loss to the game. Seemed like a proper gentleman.

I think that they should name the confederations cup after him. I think that Blatter has already suggested this. It's a good idea.

[drummer boy]

its such a sad thing to happen. i couldn believe it when i heard on the radio at first it was believed that he swollowed his thoung but in the paper today it said he had a heart attack. didnt ronaldo nearly swallow his thoung in the world cup final in 98. such an awful way to go.

Where did you hear that? The papers are saying that all they can say for sure is that it wasn't a stroke.

i don't really understand how it could happen without a challenge though, we're the paramedics on the scene fast enough?

There's some things where it doesn't matter how quick you are on the scene, you don't have a chance of saving a person - I think 1 in 10 heart attacks are unavoidably fatal.

Rigobert Song is quoted as saying his last words before leaving the dressing room for to start the second half were "Boys, even if it means dying on the pitch, we must win this semi-final"...

it was on a european channel on digital. although now they are saying they are not sure what happened him

I was actually watching the game when it happened, went away for a bit and came back 2 hours later to hear it. Awful thing to happen. Glad to see sepp blatter got the abuse he deserved last night at the final BTW.
