I heard that a Mark Lisi colapsed in the locker room after the game. He was taken to the hospital for evaluation. Initial indication is that it was a cobination of heat and altitude. I hope he recovers quickly and fully...
Good thing Bob was paying attention to the fitness of his players during the game and properly subbing them for fresh legs.
Oh come on-Lisi is a pnasy and one of the softest MLS players around. He makes Kyle Martino look like Kovalenko or Franchino out there.
Golf clap to the jackasses who call a person who had a collapse a pansy. But if he couldnt handle the heat he shoudl have asked for a sub. I agree. That being said get well soon Mark.
Following Monday's game, MetroStars defender Mark Lissi collapsed in the locker room, citing chest pain and difficulty breathing. The preliminary reports were that team doctors believe the pain was the result of the heat and the altitude, but they were taking him to the hospital for further tests. I guess the way they worded it is a lot better than saying his coach wouldn't play the substitutes.
Altitude at RES is 4600 feet. Temperature about 80F. Humidity about 20 %. He was lucky it wasn't 110F and 5% humidity with turf temperatures around 130F as it has been in the past for day games. (Blitzz in USL). Dehydration will get you here! Just hope he doesn't have a long Qt heart condition.
The negative says what about the conditioning. The positive says, have to love a player who leaves it all on the field.
