If tweet fails to load, click here. Goalie was already upset to the point he was down in the other penalty box during an altercation. This was100% retaliation and intentional using the game as a pretense for a violent act.

Goalie could get four years in prison; authorities are looking into involuntary Manslaughter. Deservedly so.

you are taught that as a goalie to protect yourself. It sucks and unfortunate but prosecute? Just No.
And I have no idea what happened before this or if it was intentional but I did play goalkeeper and it's definitely taught from a young age.

This is not the first time this has happened during a soccer match. It was a couple decades ago. Another player came close fairly recently. A Danish player, Christian Eriksen collapsed a few years ago and was actually dead as he lay in the field. They acted quickly and revived him thankfully. He resumed his career not too long after when they couldn’t find anything wrong with him. He recently collapsed again on the field and the team he was playing for said that’s enough and released hiim. They didn’t want to see him die on the field.

if you're being taught to take a player out by running full speed and jumping into him with your knee and hands up in order to intentionally take him out when the ball isn't playable, then you and your teacher are pieces of shite.
There are ways to take an obvious foul without being a fricking moron and doing something that would seriously hurt someone.

I will defer to those who truly understand the ethic, code and culture of the sport. I'm just chiming in to say that it appears-it appears-that he deliberately used his knee to make maximum contact. It felt angry and deliberate. There was nothing about that that felt like accidental contact. Not sure if that matters within the context of the sport one way or the other but I'm sure there are those who are regarded as experts on precedent who can explain this.

Eriksen’s was not from any contact, right?
It’s been a while but if I remember correctly, he just collapsed out of the blue.

In the box
Not at midfield

So, if they ever prove it…that was an act of murder.
