Remember the desperate plight of Salvador Cabanas, the former Club America striker that was shot in the head from close range in a Mexico City bar back in January of last year?

Almost an exact calendar year after the near-fatal shooting took place, Cabanas has miraculously taken to the field again – training with Paraguayan club Libertad with the bullet still lodged deep in the back of his brain…

Amazing, in the truest sense of the word…amazing.

At the time of the shooting, it was unsure if Cabanas was even going to survive until the morning, let alone recover to live anything approaching a ‘normal’ life.

Maybe Benni McCarthy should take some pointers.

    He is a hero in Paraguay and he inspired the team to perform as well as the did in South Africa. With his leadership, we could have beaten Spain. (We deserved to anyways because Valdez’s goal was not offsides… but that’s a different story.)

    FUCK that guy is a man right there, just thinking about getting shot, let alone how it went down with him and then being able to go do what you love still is a gift
