QUOTE Materazzi On Injury: As Painful As Giving Birth Never a man to use modest expressions, Marco Materazzi has compared the pain he felt due to his injury to that of giving birth. (IMG: http://www.goal.com/images/14962.jpg) Speaking for the first time since he was injured after a Hungarian player fell on him during last week's international friendly, Marco Materazzi has compared his pain to that of giving birth. "Watching the television images, I think I spotted the exact moment in which I hurt myself, but the thing that makes me optimistic is that it wasn’t a very hard contact," he told Inter Channel. "I lost a lot of blood, so now I understand why I felt faint whenever I lifted my head." "As soon as I felt the pain I stayed on the ground," he continued. "I tried to reassure the referee and then found myself getting up, especially as I heard the home fans jeering that I was faking it. "I walked back to the locker room, but knew something was amiss. "It is difficult to explain what I felt at half-time. Roberto Donadoni told me I had to play the second half and I answered I really couldn’t do it. "There people noticed I really was not in good shape. As the minutes went by, my leg started to swell up more and more." "I had so much pain – I really had never felt anything like it – and hoped it would end soon. Professors Benazzo and Combi were quick and took the situation in hand immediately. I think they made the right decision. "I felt incredible agony and on the plane was curling up in pain. I thought of my wife Daniela. She always says giving birth is the worst pain a person can experience. I think I went close, it felt like I had given birth too." The 34-year-old is expected back in around three months.

QUOTE (Fillipo Simone @ Aug 29 2007, 11:58 AM) Not really, don't you remember the lob he scored against Empoli 2 seasons ago. It was pure genius how he managed to score that from nearly the half way line (IMG: http://cyrus.medialayer.net/~m1ke/milanfan.com/forums/style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) Or the one he scored against Georgia in the qualifiers with Italy

It's actually true through that females are more reseliant to physical pain. When I was studying biology our lecturer actually told us that a man would die if he were to give birth.
Even though a man is physically stronger.
