Soccer match miracle???

[Nill Toulme]

ATLANTA, August 28: Authorities are still withholding comment pending further investigation of reports of an apparent "miracle" at a local youth soccer tournament yesterday morning. According to numerous eyewitness reports, a sharply struck ball passed completely through the body of a defending player, but amazingly left the player completely unharmed. Although the player is reportedly healthy and alert, her identity is being withheld pending notification of next of kin and further investigation by the county medical examiner, the Atlanta-based Centers for Disease Control, local clergy and a nationally prominent faith healer.

Nice writeup, and great captures, Nill!

 

[nicolas claris]

well, with a "7" in her back, that is a minimum we could have wait for...

If you change it to guys, then the second shot is definitely a stretcher for number 7, and a red card and banning for the other player, (I'm sitting here, cross legged at the moment.....)

I'm glad for the white team that she wasn't their goalie.

What has me confused is that the ball is larger and OOF in the first shot. So my theory is that it's a ricochet and the ball actually bounced off Nill's head.

...and the ball actually bounced off Nill's head.

That has actually happened once or twice, along with the occasional linesman... ;-)
