During the Turkey-Germany game, I just saw a medic taking what can only be described as a staple gun to an injured Turkish player's head whereas the German one uses superglue... A nasty knock it was, too.

Superglue was originally designed to close wounds... it reacts with the moisture in the atmosphere to "dry" on things that aren't wet....

It was developed for the battlefield in Vietnam iirc. Though wouldn't a wound be fairly wet?

I know that it's often used in emergencies but not that it was originally invented for that purpose.
I'm unsure about the not wet bit, though. How can it work on wounds then?

Ich dachte, den deutschen hätten sie mal eben schnell genäht. So sah es zumindest bei uns aus.

Da war auf jeden Fall ne kleine Tube/Flasche. Vielleicht war die Flüssigkeit nur zur Versiegelung nach dem Nähen.

Heh, yes, I noticed that (and had to look away from the screen briefly!)

The guy didn't seem too fussed, though; he was up and running about, moments later. Perhaps they all have scalps full of staples by now.

(that was me earlier)
The incident actually made me wonder how much faking there usually is during "fouls". They basically knocked their heads together so hard that both were bleeding. The German player just carried on and only stopped when he realised he was bleeding.
