covid shots making cardiac arrests happen more often

What does that have to do with this death?

That's not factual at all. There are speculative studies that it's marginally more frequent, but nothing remotely conclusive

Life is precious, feel awful for his loved ones

Remember, back before 2020, when players didn't collapse and die on the field...

Go to duck duck go (not google) and type in "soccer player dies suddenly."
Unfortunately, it does seem to be a "thing" now. Whether it's the vaccines, or covid, or something else is up for debate. But athletes are collapsing and/or dying far more often than they used to.
Of course, I am just getting this info from news articles. Same as the rest of us. So who really knows.

I wanted to find an actual video of how he saved the penalty kick but I can't find anything. I'm wondering if the ball hit his chest area just like Damar.

There had been pretty inaccurate numbers with regards to athletes suddenly collapsing. For example there was an estimated 1700 athletes in a 1 year span, and that has been proven to be completely false.

And in any case, there has been absolutely zero evidence linking any increase in cardiac arrests to a vaccine.

There have been rare instances linking the vaccine to myocarditis, but that is extremely rare. Like, waaaaay less likely to have an issue with that compared to having an issue with COVID itself

In this case, it's just dumb to even bring it up since we don't even know if this guy is vaccinated.
