Just saw that Serey Die's dad had died 2 hours before the game and he still managed somehow to play, that is pride and deserves Respect, I would not of been able to do that so he gets a lot of respect from me.

And also Condolences to him and his Family
RIP Mr Die

Ah man...kids couldn't work out why he was crying. Told them he was obviously proud ro play for his nation. Proud enough to take the field after that is something else.

I would not be able to do that. All the respect in the world to the guy, shame they didn't get a result.

Tragic, cannot believe he managed to play, suspect his dad would be proud.

Is this actually true as another site says he posted that his father, although sadly no longer with us, passed in 2004?

This is apparently the case. http://www.theguardian.com/football/2014/jun/19/serey-die-national-anthem-father-ivory-coast

I apologize for making this post without getting all the information, I saw a few big named places saying it was 2 hours before the game on twitter so believed them,

They're incorrect, they saw it on twitter and believed it. Serey Die himself has said he died in 2004 (its on his own instagram account).

Still may he R.I.P.

I think you've got my post confused. I was saying that it was apparently the case that his father died in 2004, not two hours before kick off. Anyway, it's irrelevant. Very sad regardless.

I thought this was going to be about the Italian 4th division

i know that jokes shouldn't be made on threads about death but this is superb

Don't know if it was before or after the game but Kolo & Yaya Toure's brother died yesterday.

Ibrahim was 28 years old.

RIP
