Berlin's top World Cup official kills himself

[newbie original]

Official shoots himself in the head with a gun

Dissapointing that he won't be able to enjoy the fruits of his labour...I thought that the organizing committee did a fantastic job.

 

[SlowSilver]

Well that was unexpected.

 

[Pontiakos]

oh no something is not right here! I fear that this could be the beginning of a sh*t storm

 

[Sevillista]

I think the suicide note said that he could not bear to live in a world where the Italians are world champions.

 

[CarlosDanger]

Well, I guess he decided to go out with a bang.....
































Sorry

 

[Zlatan]

"Mais pourquoi? mais pourquoi? mais pourquoi?"

 

[Fernandez]

What's the world coming to nowadays?

I'm sorry, but if that's true he doesn't deserve any sympathy. What an idiot.

 

[Stephan_BEL]

I bet he got the electricity bill.

He must've been firing blanks in '82, then.

 

[nodvad]

Sounds like someone bet BIG on Germany to win.

 

[JJSFC]

Dang.

 

[untouchable]

The ****?

 

[$teauA]

Sounds like someone bet BIG on Germany to win.

That's what I'm thinking as well. Stupid.

 

[Shards]

If he pulls through this I hope his daughter head-butts his janky asssss...

Dude, it was a joke...

will u be more damn considerate

Considerate to who? It's not like anybody here has ever heard of this guy. It's not like he was murdered or killed. He shot himself... and failed at that. And how do you fail at that??? And why did you pick me when there's four or five other guys joking in this thread.

 

[TheBlueBalla]

the important thing right now is a life is hanging by a thread. I hope he recovers and can reconcile whatever it is drove him to this

I dont think it was a bet. Klinsmann's job was in jeopardy, and Germany were practically branded as also-rans before the tournament. I doubt anyone who couldnt afford it bet big on them

 

[ganxxxter]

probably the italian mafia had something to do with it...
