| 27th June: Tragic News as Marc Vivien Foe Dies |
| Cameroon midfielder
Marc-Vivien Foe has died after collapsing during an international
match in France. The 28-year-old fell to the ground unchallenged in the 72nd minute of a Confederations Cup semi-final against Colombia in Lyon. He was treated on the pitch before being stretchered off and receiving further treatment, including mouth-to-mouth resuscitation and extra oxygen. Medical staff are believed to have tried to restart his heart for 45 minutes but without success. "The player was still alive when he was taken to the medical centre in Gerland Stadium in Lyon, where he died," said Alfred Mueller, Fifa's Swiss medical officer for Lyon. Very sad day for football. Eur04world would like to send its condolences to the family of Foe - he will be missed.
