some really good news for a change

Because of the sorrow and tragedy that occurred yesterday when Italian football player Piermario Morosini collapsed and died in the middle of a match, I was happy today when I came across an article about someone who has recovered from a horrible accident.

Salvador Cabanas is a Paraguayan footballer born August 5th, 1980, who was shot in the head in Mexico City in January 2010, age 29, while he was with his wife in a nightclub. At the time he was playing for Mexican Club America. The bullet was not removed, and after a long period of recovery, Salvador has returned to Paraguay to play with his new team, 12 de Octubre. He was a prolific goalscorer for club and country. In 2007 he was the top goalscorer in the Copa Libertadores with 10 goals.



These are all from yesterday, when Salvador debuted with 12 de Octubre.

He was one of the lucky ones! Like also Sergio Sanchez, Ruben de la Red and Fabrice Muamba! :((((
