Re: Charlie Davies to Sochaux: Peugeots for everyone! [R] Here is Grant Wahl's take: http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2009/soccer/10/13/charlie.davies/index.html Stable condition, injuries not considered life-threatening.
Re: Charlie Davies to Sochaux: Peugeots for everyone! [R] I hope its not career threatening and I hope he wasn't driving. Edit: USSF spokesman says possibly career threatening... http://voices.washingtonpost.com/so..._in_serious_accident.html?wprss=soccerinsider Edit 2: Fatality supposedly not the driver... http://www.newser.com/article/d9bad...rgoing-surgery-after-single-car-accident.html
Re: Charlie Davies to Sochaux: Peugeots for everyone! [R] From Goff: "Details of the surgery were not made available, but a USSF spokesman said the injuries were "possibly" career-threatening."
Re: Charlie Davies to Sochaux: Peugeots for everyone! [R] Tragic. simply tragic. Let's hope for the best.
Re: Charlie Davies to Sochaux: Peugeots for everyone! [R] Lots of discussion here: https://www.bigsoccer.com/forum/showthread.php?t=1201793
Re: Charlie Davies to Sochaux: Peugeots for everyone! [R] From Wahl: "Re: USSF spokesman saying Charlie Davies' injuries are "possibly" career-threatening: USSF withdrew statement. Not enough info right now."
Re: Charlie Davies to Sochaux: Peugeots for everyone! [R] "Around 2:30 p.m. Tuesday, the hospital informed the USSF that Davies would be in surgery, which started soon after 11 a.m., for another two and a half hours. Exact details of the type of surgery were unknown." Goal.com's report of 5 1/2 hours of surgery is pretty serious. The Washington Post says Davies was not the driver. Soccer's pales in comparison in the aftermath of the accident, my thoughts go out to the deceased girl's family and the health of all involved.
Re: Charlie Davies to Sochaux: Peugeots for everyone! [R] Damn.... if they are saying career ending... i am thinking something to his legs, maybe bad fractures??? Who knows.... yikes With that said, its too said he wanted to party and give chocolate city a shot at their nightlife. Its fun, but damnit, he has to be careful!
Re: Charlie Davies to Sochaux: Peugeots for everyone! [R] From ABC's WJLA channel 7 via NSC: Davies has a broken femur and tibia or fibula (not sure which as it appears they just combined the two into the word "tibula")
Re: Charlie Davies to Sochaux: Peugeots for everyone! [R] Greg is reporting CD is in serious condition. Now I know a little about hosptial conditions but he was stable before. Does this mean he slipped from stable (good vital signs,etc) to serious? I checked the AMA website
Re: Charlie Davies to Sochaux: Peugeots for everyone! [R] Any info or word from the French media? Not that they'd have word we haven't heard yet, just trying to gauge a reaction.
Re: Charlie Davies to Sochaux: Peugeots for everyone! [R] Fox Soccer Report Showed the Suv. It was split in half.
Re: Charlie Davies to Sochaux: Peugeots for everyone! [R] Full Article is here: http://voices.washingtonpost.com/soccerinsider/ Femur is your THIGH bone... the biggest bone in your body.... Jesus.....
Re: Charlie Davies to Sochaux: Peugeots for everyone! [R] Damn. Hope Davies recovers well, from the pic of the wreck it looks like it could have been a lot worse for him.
Re: Charlie Davies to Sochaux: Peugeots for everyone! [R] Damn, hope he and the other passengers who made it are able to heal ok over time.
Re: Charlie Davies to Sochaux: Peugeots for everyone! [R] This site has the video of the SUV being hauled away - half on each of two trucks. Its a miracle not everyone was killed. http://www.myfoxdc.com/dpp/news/local/101309_us_mens_soccer_player_hurt_in_crash

Re: Charlie Davies to Sochaux: Peugeots for everyone! [R] I've been at Disneyland all day, and I have no time to read the entire thread - so I have no idea if anyone has said this yet: It's quite a reach, but if Carlos Pavon scores on that penalty kick I think this girl is still alive. Most likely Charlie is taking Wednesday's game a lot more seriously and is at home and in bed at 3am with the biggest game of his career days away.
Re: Charlie Davies to Sochaux: Peugeots for everyone! [R] I would agree stogey, but at the same time hes young and celebrating helping the US mens team qualify for the 2010 world cup. its a crying shame really, im amazed anyone lived through that accident.
