The World Cup in North America continues to surprise not only with football drama but also with exotic dangers off the pitch.
Details: Real panic broke out in the Germany camp after an uninvited guest appeared. One of the Bundesteam’s key players, Joshua Kimmich, stunned journalists in an interview with the respected German outlet BILD by admitting: a real venomous snake has taken up residence at their training center, keeping the entire staff and the star-studded squad on edge.
Players were warned that even the slightest contact or a bite would require immediate hospitalization for a special antidote, so ordinary walks around the base are now temporarily off limits.
"Yesterday we saw the snake, and we were told it was poisonous. If it bites you, you have to go to the hospital immediately. I don't think it's deadly, but it's definitely very dangerous... In Germany, I always felt like we just don’t have so many dangerous animals," Joshua Kimmich openly shared his emotions.
Reminder: Referee Shaun Evans, who officiated the Germany vs Curaçao match, was accused of racism right during the game.
