Plane Crashes in Colombia, Kills Brazillian Soccer Team Members
Tragedy has struck the world of professional soccer.
A chartered plane transporting Brazilian football team Chapecoense to Medellin’s international airport in Colombia crashed on Monay night, killing 76 people.
According to Colombian officials, only five people survived the accident.
The team was on its way to play Bolivia in the Copa Sudamericana tournament when the aircraft went down.
Just prior to the crash, crew members reported electrical problems on the vehicle as it flew over towns near Medellin.
Aviation authorities have confirmed that a state of emergency was declared around 10 p.m. local time as a result of these malfunctions.
Among the five survivors were player Alan Ruschel… a journalist … and a flight attendant, the latter of whom reportedly told authorities that the plane ran out of fuel before crashing.
Ruschel reportedly suffered injuries, including a lumbar spine fracture, and went straight into surgery after he was rescued, NBC News reports.
As pictured above, the team actually posed for a selfie just moments before boarding the plane.
The charter aircraft took off from Bolivia and was carrying 72 passengers and nine crew members, including Chapecoense; the squad was scheduled to play in the first leg of the Copa Sudamericana final against Atletico Nacional on Wednesday in Medellin.
In response to this tragedy, CONMEBOL – South American football’s governing body – has released a statement that says Copa Sudamericana final and “all federation activities” have been suspended until further notice.
The Copa Sudamericana is South America’s secondary competition involving club’s across the continent; it ranks below the Copa Libertadores.
In a message on their Facebook page, Chapecoense said:
“May God accompany our athletes, officials, journalists and other guests traveling with our delegation.”
Added the Brazilian Football Federation: “Our solidarity and prayers are with the passengers and crew.”
Chapecoense player Alejandro Martinuccio, who was not traveling with his team due to injury, was quoted by Spanish outlet Marca as telling Radio de la Red:
“We are all at the club, we cannot believe it.”
He added:
“We are waiting on news, I have survived as I was injured. I feel a deep sadness for my teammates. The only thing I can say is to pray for them.”
The team played in a small, 22,000-seat stadium in the town of Chapeco. Players had an especially close relationship with fans there.
“Chapecoense was the biggest source of happiness in the town,” the club’s vice-president, Ivan Tozzo, told Brazil’s SporTV. “Many in the town are crying.”
We send our thoughts, prayers and condolences to the family members and loved ones of all victims.

Hope Solo: Suspended By U.S. Women"s Soccer!
Soccer star Hope Solo has been suspended from the U.S. Women’s National Team for six months, the organization announced on Wednesday.
The athlete will be ineligible to compete until February.
Here disciplinary action comes after the goalkeeper, who helped Team USA to gold in the 2008 and 2012 Olympics, lashed out in Rio.
Hope slammed the Swedish women’s soccer team after the U.S. was stunningly defeated and knocked out of medal contention early.
Sunil Gulati, the president of the organization, criticized “the comments by Hope Solo after the match against Sweden at the 2016 Olympics.”
Solo’s comments “were unacceptable and do not meet the standard of conduct we require from our National Team players,” Gulati said.
“Beyond the athletic arena and beyond the results” of the match, “the Olympics celebrate the ideals of fair play and respect.”
The USWNT felt Solo didn’t live up to those ideals.
“We expect all of our representatives to honor those principles,” Gulati said, explaining the suspension, “with no exceptions.”
After the August 12 defeat, Solo said she thought the losing Team USA played a “courageous game,” while Sweden … did not.
“I think we showed a lot of heart. We came back from a goal down. I’m very proud of this team,” the controversial star began.
“But I also think we played a bunch of cowards,” she said.
“The best team did not win today. I strongly believe that.”
Obviously, her comments did not go over too well.
Swedish coach Pia Sundhage, who previously coached Team USA to those two Olympic gold medals, blasted the goalie for her attitude.
“We won the game. They played more attacking football than we did. We defended very well,” Sundhage told The Los Angeles Times.
“It’s OK to be a coward if you win.”
In response, Solo retweeted Sports Illustrated‘s full transcript of her much-discussed quote and admitted that she’s not the best loser.
“Losing sucks. I’m really bad at it,” she wrote.
That wasn’t sufficient to avoid a suspension, but at least it was honest; Hope does not mince words, or hold back her actions.
After posting photos that some felt were disrespectful about the host nation, Solo was taunted with “Zika” chants earlier in the games.
This isn’t Solo’s first brush with trouble.
In 2015, she was benched for 30 days for “an incident that occurred during the current WNT training camp” that was held in Carson, Calif.
Allegedly, there was drunken driving of the team van by her husband, who’s been by her side throughout a few of Solo’s lower points.
Hope was arrested for domestic violence in 2014, and has been involved in some eyebrow-raising incidents with Jerramy Stevens (below):
