Testosterone did reach toxic levels in soccer
I just saw a blurb that top world cup coach was strangled after losing a match....
Sportsmanship, yeah right....

That was Pakistan's cricket coach, not football....Originally Posted by uscitizen
It's suspected that he was murdered by a match-fixing cartel.
Nothing to do with lack of sportsmanship in the game (cricket is the most sportmanslike sport), but of corruption and crime outside the game.

I remember in the 1994 World Cup, when Columbia lost to the U.S. on a fluke american goal, that the columbian goalie totally flubbed, that goalie was murdered back in columbia within weeks of returning.

Andreas Escobar? He was a defender who scored an own goal and was shot on his return by a local gambler who lost a lot of money because the game was lost.
No-one denies the passion that football instills, in Europe and S America it is very tribal as you can tell from our hooligans.
But cricket is different....
