The Confederations Cup never received much attention.
And with today's match between the United States Team and the Cameroon Team, Gerland Stadium, with its capacity of forty-two thousand, was practically empty. At most, it was only half full.
The whistle blew for halftime. Many spectators instinctively stood up, heading to the restrooms or to buy drinks.
The ground temperature was scorching today.
So when player number 17, Mark Vivian Foe, collapsed, only a small portion of the crowd noticed.
Even his exhausted teammates, walking off the field, didn't see what had happened.
It was his Manchester City teammate, Lucen Metomo, walking not far behind him, who saw it. His expression changed drastically as he shouted and rushed over.
Only then did the surrounding Cameroon players react. Some looked on in confusion, while others immediately sprinted toward him.
