Best Wishes to Eduardo

Sam & I are huge Arsenal F.C. fans, in fact we're borderline obsessive fans. Yesterday morning one of our players, Eduardo da Silva, suffered a horrific injury resulting from a sloppy but dangerous tackle in Birmingham City. The tackle and resulting injury was so upsetting that Sky News and Setanta Sports, the two broadcasters, refused to replay it.

There's been speculation that Eduardo's injury could be career ending which would be an awful tragedy for someone so young, talented and passionate about soccer. I could hardly think of anything else most of yesterday. Yes, I know, obsessed.

There is some better news this morning. A Croatian news source (Eduardo was born in Brazil but has Croatian citizenship now and plays for the Croatian national soccer team) has said that initial reports of three fracture in his leg were exaggerated and that there was only one break. His prognosis is better than initially believed. I pray that he'll have a full recovery and will be back on the pitch much sooner than expected.

Good luck Eduardo. You're in our thoughts and prayers.
