Crocodile eats footballer during training in Mozambique

Direct Translation via Google Translate. Edited.
[Regnum] In Mozambique, a crocodile attacked a 19-year-old footballer during training and ate him. This was reported on June 24 by the Daily Sun.

It is specified that the footballer of the second division club of Mozambique "Atletico Mineiro de Tete" was jogging on the football field located on the bank of the Zambezi River when he was attacked by a five-meter crocodile. His teammates did not have time to help the young man.
"Red Card!"
Crocodile attacks in the Zambezi region are a regular occurrence. Policeman Leonel Mucina confirmed the incident, stressing that the footballer's body has not yet been found.

In May last year, police officers in Clear Lake City, Texas, were searching for a missing woman and found her body in the jaws of an alligator on the riverbank. The police officer shot the alligator to prevent it from doing more damage to the remains.

#4  Not dying and having kids, SteveS. Though of the two, having kids is more important — once they’ve been born, so long as there is someone to care for them, the genetic parents aren’t quite as critical.

#3  And here I thought wind sprints were hard! It may be a bit unorthodox as far as sports training goes, but if you can survive being eaten by a crocodile, you are one tough sonovabitch.

If you think about it, there is an evolutionary basis for this. We are the descendants of people who did *not* get eaten by crocodiles, trampled by elephants, or felled by plague. Not dying really is the key to the evolutionary benefits program.

#2  Say...you remember that cheesed up video of the paramilitary men hanging out on the prison soccer pitch, acting like simple poor footballers just trying to make the grade?
