PAINFUL TACKLE FOR PLAYER (Soccer - a game played by real men! ;o) )

A footballer had to have six stitches in his penis after it was ripped open in a tackle.

Chavdar Yankow, 21, sustained a three-inch gash playing for Hamburg 96 in Germany.

His shorts were "soaked with blood" but team doctors managed to patch Yankow up.

Amazingly, after the painful incident Yankow returned to the pitch and played on.

And the German went on to score in his side's 2-0 win over Frankfurt.

Hi TheBigB-

A three-inch gash in a sensitive area is closed with only six stitches? That man might wish to consider speaking to a REALLY good plastic surgeon before settling for the athletic trainer's handiwork...

Well, he has balls.

(I assume he still does, anyway.)

Chavdar Yankow

Damaged Wiener and Defeater Frankfurters

Ouch.

Just ouch.

Soccer, a game played by 5 year old girls. World Cup Soccer - 2 hours of chasing the ball around to see 1 (maybe2) goals. BORING!


Real men play Lacrosse.

Did I read this right? HE WENT BACK AND FINISHED THE GAME??? Man, that's . . . dedication.

I am a total coward with a VERY LOW THRESHHOLD OF PAIN.

Then again, folks always seem surprised that I didn't start going to a dentist who used Novocaine when filling a tooth until I was about 30.

Beat me (no pun intended) by THAT much.

On the positive side, he now has a built-in ribbed tickler.

Soccer: A game for socialist sissies.

Ouch!!!

Rugby players eat their dead.

[linkinpunk]

He only needed SIX stitches?

No wonder they call him Shorty.

This is the kind of commitment and self-sacrifice I expect - demand - from my 8- and 9-year-old players!

[miele man]

LOL, big time. First laugh of the day. Now I can go on and "take on the day". Thanks.

I watched the Eagles and the Falcons play last night. There were only a very few scores. Hardly a boring game, though.

I knew there was a good reason I prefer Chess!
