Really sad and unfortunate. RIP.
That said I agree with the decision to postpone the matches. Not only out of respect but also out of the fact that such tragedies play havoc on most people's minds and such teams don't play properly at all with the knowledge that a fellow college died just a few moments ago.

You just mixed up two completely different stories. But I'm sure they mourned in Afghanistan.
The world may not stop to mourn for an Italian football player, but if Italy decides to then who are you to say otherwise?

Do they play sports in Somalia? Is football stopping the entire world over?
Some stunningly retarded posts in here, and I genuinely feel sorry for anyone that can't comprehend what this means to players and want the games to continue for selfish reasons.
Morosini used to play for the U21 team and has been at several clubs (Udinese and Bologna in Serie A), so he's obviously been teammates with a lot of players in various divisions. Marchisio and De Ceglie from Juve, for example. Maybe Pepe as well.

Still in shock that the ref didn't react to morosini being on the ground. I understand players tend to act and etc, but you looked not just once, but twice at him in the period of 20 seconds, at least come closer to him to check if he alright. Don't just ignore it and run away from it. He just allows the play to go on until the benches got mad and started yelling at the 4th ref and just ran on the field without permission. What a prick! He would have probably taken 30 more seconds to allow the medics on the field
wow some of you on here are real assholes. For one every life is precious, even those in somalia and afghanestan. FIGC did the respectfuland correct thing by canceling the games. Its funny to me that the ones complaining about the games being cancelled are the same trying to say that the world should also mourn those in afghanastan and somalia. People find those atrocities just as sad and disturbing, but they are handled different because we cant just cancel games for respect and mourning like in this situation.So please show some decorum and grace. May this young man be in Jesus' embrace as we speak God bless him
I see my comment was way over your head. I just used Somolia as an example. Let me break it down.
My point is this. I agree with you that tragedies occur all the time, yet the world does not stop for them. However, individuals close to the tragedy do stop. In some cultures it is not unusual to see entire towns or villages stop for a day to mourn the loss of one their own. As outsiders, it is not our place to judge this.
If FIGC (the village in this case) decides to cease activity to mourn the death of a player, then it is not our place to question that. Because it is not our loss.

TBH this is a pointless argument because the outcome will not change the fact that the round got canceled.
I really feel bad that a young player died and i hope that he is in a better place and that his family will be strong enough to get through.
And as i said before i'd totally get it if the players do not want to play however those who are riding their moral high horses should get the F down unless you spend your life mourning every human being who tragically dies.

A friend and colleague of many players died, literally, on the pitch. In the midst of a game. It's shocking, sad, and a rarity. I'm sure many are greatly disturbed and stunned.
Would they cancel the day's work if one of your co-workers died before your eyes? I think so.
It's a tragedy, however you look at it, and the minimum the league can do is show this respect to the man, R.I.P., those that knew him, played with or against him, and shared his profession.
