Maybe soccer players aren't wimps

I take back most of my previous comments ridiculing soccer after reading this.

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.

That is obviously the only scoring he is going to do for some time. Ouch.
