Papa, ahugata la Mundial




I think with anti-seizure medication, Salvador will have no excuse not to play the World Cup. I can assure, you, nobody will stop this man, he will play the World Cup. If he said that to his dad, it's because he feels like he can make it!

MEXICO CITY (Jan. 25) - Salvador Cabanas, a star player for
Paraguay's World Cup team was shot in the head Monday in the
bathroom of a Mexico City bar.



Cabanas, a forward for the Mexican team Club America, was in
critical condition. He was conscious when he arrived at a
hospital where he was being operated on to remove the
bullet, team president Michel Bauer told Televisa network.



"He was a bit confused and didn't know what had happened and
he was asking where they were taking him and why they were
taking him there,'' Bauer said.



Two suspects were detained and details surrounding the
shooting are unclear, Mexico City Attorney General Miguel
Angel Mancera told Televisa. Mancera said Cabanas had gone
to the bar with his wife and was shot before dawn.



Juan Angel Napout, president of Paraguay's soccer
federation, said a doctor would travel to Mexico to
accompany Cabanas.



"We are praying for him,'' Napout said.



The 29-year-old player is a striker for the Paraguayan team
that is grouped with defending champion Italy, New Zealand
and Slovakia in the first round of the World Cup.



Cabanas has been playing in Mexico since 2003, when he was
with the Jaguars. In 2006 he was sold to Club America. He
has 125 goals in 218 games in Mexico and is one of the best
strikers in the Mexican soccer league.



Steve Bruce, manager of the English club Sunderland, this
month expressed interest in signing Cabanas.



Cabanas was honored as South America's soccer player of the
year for 2007 by Uruguay's El Pais newspaper, the only time
a player in Mexico has won the award. He is a former scoring
champion in the Mexican and Chilean leagues.
