Paula Radcliffe famously took a toilet break on the roadside during the London Marathon because of stomach cramps caused by something she ate (she went on to win). -- Melinda Shore - Software longa, hardware brevis - Prouder than ever to be a member of the reality-based community |

If France had won, *then* I'd have been disappointed in the game. Apparently you were rooting for France. France. spit and more so by the French stars. There was absolutely no need for Zidane to end his career on such a sour note, Yeah, I take back what I previously said about Zidane. He's a "*******o," as no doubt many Italians are calling him today. And after reading a few more things about him, I discovered that he's done that before. Plus stomping an opponent in the groin. He was lying on the ground at the time. Good soccer player. Poor sport. A strong head blow to the chest (like the one he gave to Materrazzi) can cause sudden death ("commotio cordis"). http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j1i_l0OeeMc And soccer players use their heads almost as much as their feet, and so their neck muscles are very strong, etc. and it says something about the lack of condition of an athelete (IMO anyway) when he's got to go out of the game because of cramps. I have to agree with Melinda (damn, I hate it when that happens!). No matter how well-conditioned (and/or hydrated) an athlete is, getting cramps is still possible. Happens all the time. -- Handsome Jack Morrison |

It can be a nutrition issue, transient health problem, and so on. In this case, hydration could be an issue. It's been hot out there, and it isn't like they stop play and let the atheletes drink water. Although, from what the commentators have said, the refs have been good about letting people take a little time here and there to do just that. Suja |

My preference is for a wide open, offensive style of game, and this wasn't it. The first half was entertaining, the second half and overtime, a lot less so. Which is why I normally don't watch soccer. But that's the way the game is played in big matches. Defensively. And the Italians were probably the best defensive team in the tournament. Good soccer player. Poor sport. Probably. There are accusations out there that the Italian player said something deragatory (Zidane is of Algerian descent), but tha's still no excuse. Speculation, yes. But I don't think either player has made a comment yet. It's good that Zidane doesn't play hockey, where insults are virtually part of the game. Getting an opposing player to lose his cool (and sent to the penalty box) is actually part of the pro game's strategy. I have to agree with Melinda (damn, I hate it when that happens!). No matter how well-conditioned (and/or hydrated) an athlete is, getting cramps is still possible. I understand that. On the world's biggest stage, on the day when your team needs you the most... I don't know. If you can't do it, then you just can't do it. I've had those days before. When the tank's empty, it's empty. -- Handsome Jack Morrison |
