LYON, France (AP) -- Cameroon midfielder Marc-Vivien Foe died after he collapsed in the heat during the Confederations Cup semifinal against Colombia on Thursday.
"It is an incredible tragedy," FIFA President Sepp Blatter said. It was the first time a player died on the field during such an international tournament.

I've seen it live, though I didn't know it was that bad on the moment. Then on the next match (France - Turkey) they announced his death and asked for a minute of silence, most of the french players (Foe used to play in French clubs and most of them knew him) started to cry...it was really terrible.
When France first scored, french players all pointed to the sky in memory of Foe. It was very moving. You can find a picture of it at
www.fifa.com.
The final of this Cup is supposed to be Cameroon - France. Don't know if it's gonna happen...If it takes place anyway it will be a really really sad game...
Yesterday was a terrible day for international soccer.
