October 23, 201312 yr "The Sweden v Germany World Cup qualifier last week had it all. Some of the world’s top footballing talent? Check. Goals galore? Eight. Star turns? Chelsea’s Andre Schuerrle got a hat-trick within 20 second-half minutes. But days later, a photograph from before kick-off has gone viral online and taken the spotlight from all of the above. In the shot taken by Andreas Bardell for Swedish newspaper Aftonbladet, as seen above, Swedish midfielder Kim Kallstrom comforts an agitated mascot. The mascots for the game suffer from Williams Syndrome, a form of autism, and one of them - eight-year-old Max - is very sensitive to noise." http://uk.eurosport.yahoo.com/blogs/early-doors/footballer-comforts-frightened-autistic-mascot-202719549.html
