Tragic news from Abidjan, where officials say at least 19 people were killed in a stampede at an overcrowded stadium during a World Cup qualifier between Ivory Coast and Malawi.
“We have 19 dead and many seriously injured,” a military source at the stadium said. The crush occurred after part of a wall collapsed when ticket less fans stormed one of the entrances to the 45,000-capacity Houphouet-Boigny arena in the West African country’s main city, Abidjan.
Blatter and platini often complain about the money in the English premier league, they'd rather busy themselves bringing cash and player topics to the fore front of global football news. Neither have commented on the plight of African football safety standards in the wake or prior to this weekends tragedy.
If cash was involved, I've no doubt that the pair of them would be shouting from the roof tops.
ooh the hypocrisy!
