Today's soccer news
Turkey-Germany, Euro 2008
Not sure if this will make the highlights, but from my perspective, it will be the game's most memorable moment. About two-thirds of the way through the opening half, with the score tied 1-1, a German player and an a Turkish player collided on a header, drawing blood on both sides. The German was cut on the face, so they took him to the sideline and immediately began threading the needle to stitch up his cut. The Turkish player had the benefit of being cut near the back of his head, an area covered by hair, so the Turkish trainer made a quick, efficient fix. He spread the hair, swabbed off some blood, and stapled the midfielder's scalp on worldwide TV. Classic. Who says soccer players aren't tough?

Just saw that. it was fantastic. Andy Gray: "Just throw a few staples in and get back out there. It doesn't hurt. You're playing to go to the finals."
