We have a few stars, who better than Zidane?
Joking.
To be honest I’m not totally sold on him as a manager.

Think I’ve mentioned my (hopefully) budding cricket administration career. Anyways, we have a team in the KZNCU Coastal Premier League which is the highest amateur league, each province has one and each has provincial (first class) players in it. I played in that league 15-20 years ago. Sometimes they get a sticky wicket and the players en masse bitch about it to the point where umpires are now accommodating them and delaying starts or even abandoning games on pitches that we didn’t bat an eyelid to play on back in the day. It’s not just football anymore.

Igiraneza Aimé Guéric, a midfielder of a Burundian second division club, Les Guêpiers du Lac, died tragically following a match against LLB Amasipiri Never Give Up. According to the testimonies on the spot, the death was caused by a coin swallowed by the player in the middle of the match.
The article headline linked the practice of have a coin in the mouth as “witchcraft”. I see that more as a superstition.
RIP.
On a not so similar but similar note (don’t know if that make sense at all), I see that a lot of players chewing gum while playing, which I found it is horrifying, as the chance of choking by accident is high.
