I just heard that at a Hong Kong newsgroup.
They said that our local newspaper "Sing Tao Daily" reporters saw a photo of Pele outside a hospital in Phuket, Thailand. Those photos are used for the family to identify dead bodies....

A travel agency in Thailand indicate that Pele and his family were really staying at Phuket at that time. So the one in the photo is likely to be Pele.

Dont know if this news is real or crap...but i hope that is only the bulls*it...:(

holy f*cking sh*t that would be terrible :o

Nah.. Doubt it.

I read that there has been no contact with Materazzi since he was on vacation in Maladewa ( one of the area hit by the tsunami), any news on him Inter fans ?

I heard that Materazzi has contacted Inter in a local newspaper the day before yesterday. :confused:

lets wait for a inter fan :p

Materazzi survived:

Several top Italian Serie A players were in the Maldives for holidays when the tsunami struck but they have escaped unharmed.

Alessandro Nesta was able to fly out early but his Milan teammate Paolo Maldini and Juventus' Gianluca Zambrotta were stranded for most of the day Sunday.

Some are still in the Maldives and it is unclear when they will be able to fly back for training ahead of the Serie A restart for January 6.

Inter defender Marco Materazzi, Milan striker Pippo Inzaghi, Livorno's top scorer Cristiano Lucarelli and Perugia patron Alessandro Gaucci were all waiting for flights.

"I'm fine, even if obviously we were scared," said Inzaghi, adding that there were around 300 tourists waiting in his resort's lobby for transport.

"We saw this huge wave coming towards the beach, so I grabbed my two children and ran towards safety," said Lucarelli.

with so many dead and missing persons it would not surprise me if there where eny footballers or legends who are missing!
this places are popular vacation areas so it could be that we are going to get some bad new's,but surly hope not!!
:(

^ holy cra.p... this stuff is insane

i sure hope not. i don't think he died but still...

It wouldnt be any worse if he died than the other people who died.

NO!

i think this is all bull****

bcuz if it were true then i sure it would have someting about it on the 2 most famous brazilian websites on football and it doesnt say a thing so i think its not true


EDIT: and they didnt say anything about it on TV
well of course they talked about the tsunami but nothing about pele or anything

in the newspaper here in saudi it says that he got injured... but now he's fine...

If Pelé had died, the press here would be making a fuss out of it. It's bull****.

Hope they'll be okay and everyone survived:(

Jet Li survived

He kicked down three hotel doors to get free :mrpimp:

I know its a bit off-topic but there is an AFL (Australia's national sport, Aussie Rules) player still missing and is feared dead. It is certainly a huge tragedy. Mother nature can be a bitch sometimes :(

Some people lack English skills. Why would he need to kick down 3 hotel doors to save his daughter? wouldnt they be unlocked?
