He also suffered facial fractures and a left elbow fracture.Davies was air-lifted to the hospital where a team of doctors first repaired a ruptured bladder and then inserted titanium rods in both the tibia, the bone inthe lower leg, and the femur, which is the thigh bone, with no complications.

Damm Sad news about Davies. I hope he recovers well. Dude was going to be the future along with Altidore up top.
Not even in the mood to watch the game tonight, but I will.
Hopefully we kill Costa Rica. Rip to his girlfriend that die in the accident. God bless the family.

yeah go to rojadirecta.com , on the front page just look for Uruguay-Argentina and it'll give you links
Hoping for a draw between U.S and Costa Rica and that El Salvador does the same with Honduras. I still remember all the talking the Catrachos did when theywere #1 for a few days and now they can end up 4th. Costa Rica is the only team in Central America who keeps it civilized when Mexico plays them. Respect forthat
and get better soon Davies.

I hope every players step it up 2 extra notches and get this win for Chuck Deezy.
We also got to win to help out Honduras, they made an extra fan in me for the class the team and the fans showed after the game.
