PHNOM PENH -- A lightning bolt killed three Cambodian soccer players and put three others in hospital at a match played during a monsoon season thunder-storm, officials said on Tuesday. The victims, all in their 20s, were taking part in a tournament organized by the government to introduce the game to youngsters and ultimately to improve the strength of the national side, said Cambodia Soccer Federation President Sao Sokh.
Monday's freak incident in the southeast Asian nation's capital prompted a warning to players and coaches not to take to the field while thunderclouds loomed overhead -- an almost daily occurance in the May-October rainy season.

Had they not been playing this Communist sport, this tragedy wouldn't have occurred.
Face it, the Universe hates soccer.
