Footballing Tragedy

The footballing world as a whole was left in shock as the game lost one of its top professionals in the captain of Barcelona club Espanyol's Jarque.

While Jarque might not be a household name in football, his untimely passing is starkly similar to the death of Antonio Peurta from Sevilla not so long ago. Both had passed due to heart failure. Some have wondered if the professional game's physical demands had contributed to such untimely and sudden deaths. Most of all, one has to wonder how extremely fit atheletes such as Jarque could just topple like that, its almost too hard for the fans of Espanyol or the general public to contemplate the early death of a young and professional footballer, with a world of opportunities ahead of him.

Being lovers of football and the passion it stands for, the editors of this blog will like to extend our deepest condolences to the family, friends and the fans of Daniel Jarque.
