Striker Salvador Cabanas, a key member of World Cup-bound Paraguay, was in critical condition Monday after being shot in the head at a Mexico City bar. Cabanas, who plays for Mexico's Club America and was South America's Player of the Year in 2007, was conscious when he arrived at the hospital, where he was being operated on to remove the bullet
