He caught the bullet in his mouth David Blaine style<)
On a serious note though I hope he recovers and I would think that playing football again is at the back of his mind, he should just concentrate on getting better.:wub:

What? He used a small metal cup and a gum shield?

according to this its wasn't a bungled robbery it was a straight attack on him. to survive is one thing, to be conscious, this guy is hard as nails. hope he pulls through

surviving a gunshot to the head, whilst not exactly common isnt unheard of. and remaining conscious throughout the ordeal has also been documented. if the bullet has passed between the two frontal lobes (i assume he was shot head on) instead of puncturing either one, then remarkably he has quite a good chance (based on my reading of other such cases)
however i have also read that the surgery failed to remove the bullet, which doesnt really sound promising.
but just going from those pictures id say hes one of the hardest bastards ive ever seen.
wish him all the best

I just can't believe this happened. He is an amazing player, one of the best stikers in the world, and what happens? This. It is really sad, and as DRPEPPER said, there's no other punishment for the kind of people who do this than the death penalty.
FUERZA CABANAS

yeah in the 2nd video you see the 3 guys leave casually and get in the car and go. you also hear the gunshot when they go into the bathroom after cabanas went in 
it was preplanned and thought out.

PARAGUAY and Club America striker Salvador Cabanas was shot in the head in a Mexico City bar last Monday, apparently for not scoring enough goals for his club.
Cabanas, who is showing signs of recovery but remains critical, had gone to the toilet at the bar when he became involved in a row with another customer. It is reported Cabanas' assailant shouted: "Where are the goals?" at him, prompting the player to ask: "Who are you?" The row intensified, with Cabanas allegedly challenging the gunman's manhood before the shot was fired.
It is a chilling echo of the Andres Escobar shooting in 1994, in which the defender was killed, apparently by gambling drug lords, after he scored an own goal which put Colombia out of the World Cup.
Cabanas was expected to play a major role for Paraguay at this year's World Cup, having scored 10 goals in 44 appearances for them.
