Eats, Shoots and Leaves

Whoever said football was a matter of life and death???

Police say an Iraqi football player was shot dead just as he was about to kick what could have been the equaliser in a weekend game.

Police Major Muthanna Khalid said a striker from the Buhairat amateur team had just the goalkeeper to beat when a supporter of the rival Sinjar club shot him in the head in the final minute of play.

Sinjar was leading 1-0 in the match in Hillah when the shooting happened.
