Lieber Deutschland

So much has been going on in German soccer the past few days. One item is more light hearted, while the other is incredibly depressing.

Bayern Munich player Miroslav Klose is basically being quarrantined because of the swine flu. His twin sons contracted the gol ole H1N1 and they're being careful. Klose can't train for a few days until this clears up.....

Now to the depressing thing.

Hannover 96 and German national team member Robert Enke committed suicide November 10. Parked himself in front of a speeding train and killed himself. I was shocked to hear the news, and it makes me more depressed the more I hear about it.

Enke had been working for first goalkeeper position for many years, and once Jens Lehman retired, he got the job. He spent time at several major clubs including Beneficia and Barcelona.

Reports say that Enke was very depressed and suffered because of confidence issues due to being moved around a lot. His two year old daughter died a few years ago because of a heart defect.

Enke left behind a wife and adopted child.  He also left behind grieving teammates, friends, fans, and shocked people like me. Even I didn't really know about Enke until his death, its a hard thing to swallow. Guess the only way for everone to go is forward.
