Sometimes, the things I post about have a strange way of intersecting.  This past weekend, Bolivian president suffered a broken nose during a football match.  Take note that while the BBC describes the game as \"an indoor footbal match\", based on the picture, it looks more like Futsal.  Futsal is a small-sided (5 a side I think) variant on soccer, wholly different than indoor soccer, that is meant to played on a smaller court, equivalent of a basketball court.  It can be played both indoors and out and uses a smaller, heavier ball.

The injury means he might not be able to take part in a match next Sunday between government representatives and special guests invited to the inauguration of the Constituent Assembly, who are expected to include Brazilian President Lula and Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez.
