    RIP Enke!


    P.S.
    What he did is very selfish... It's not the way one should end his life.

    That's highly debatable. When it's a burden to live, it's like suffering every single day and hour. Sometimes there is no way out but suicide.

    Depression is something very hard for people to understand. This guy obviously was very low, and felt he had no other option. It can get the best of us sometimes.

    I can't stress enough how much I really really hate it when people mindlessly throw out this.Especially since to say that,it's very selfish thing to say in itself and shows no compassion and understanding on the suffering this poor man went through.


    BTW,way to go Arkadios.Nice first post to start a football thread. :P

    RIP Enke
    Before judging him, u guys should know that not only was he suffering from depression but he also had a 2 year old daughter who died in 2006 due to a heart birth defect.

    RIP.
    was a good GK too bad he had chosen this way but you can't judge him.
    what sunoverhstreet said is right but for people in normal condition, you can't know untill you're in hi's condition (and i don't wish anyone to get to enke's condition) so don't judge him.

    Randomly encountered the Greece squad for WC. What a joke. Greece has sky-high fortune to consecutively play in int. tournaments due to ending up in the most pathetic qualifying groups regularly. Same scenario for 10 years or so.

    Let it be known that this comment came from one of the English guys.

    Current US team is awful, notwithstanding lucky wins over Spain. We used to have a good defense but somehow it has evaporated in recent years.

    You might not like it, but their play style is unique. And most of the times, it actually works.
    Perhaps. nonethless the fact remains that greece tend to to drawn into the by far easist qual. group in comparison to other. maybe that is a causal reason explaining the outcome.

    Fener fans have gotten used to tragedies I believe, but this one went into masochistic extremes! As one Galatasaray fan put it "If they asked me to write an ending for this season, I couldn't come up with a more cruel scenario. It was too painful.."

    FIFA bans the "paradinha". How is the US supposed to score now?

    Old news, but RIP. Enke once played for Fenerbahce. I think it was 6-7 years ago. In the first game of the season, Fenerbahce lost 0-3 at home to a weak opponent, and all the spectators mocked him because of the goals he conceded, cheering excessively when he did catch a ball etc. The next day he had left the country.

    Pressure on players is even bigger in Turkey or in Greece. Probably one of those experiences he never really recovered from.

    Not the first and won't be the last one to be unable to manage the pressure generated by media and fans. Does Sebastian Deisler ring a bell? The German Beckham, the new wunderkind. It was too much for him.
