Soccer should be played in the presence of landmines all the time. It would be a much more exciting sport.

Wouldn't the lawn mower have hit it, like fifty years ago?

I suspect the Opposing team planted that there so in the event of the other team scoring a goal, the coach could remotely detonate the mine to demoralize the scoring team.

+1 to all the preceding comments.
it's a full minute of my life i wont get back. we already outlawed the use of landmines. anyone who doesnt play by the rules has broken international law and they only have themselves to blame.

Convention on Certain Conventional Weapons
The United Nations Convention on Certain Conventional Weapons (CCW or CCWC), concluded at Geneva on October 10, 1980 and entered into force in December 1983, seeks to prohibit or restrict the use of certain conventional weapons which are considered excessively injurious or whose effects are indiscriminate.
Quote
Protocol II: Mines, Booby Traps and Other Devices
Protocol II on Prohibitions or Restrictions on the Use of Mines, Booby-Traps and Other Devices was amended on May 3, 1996 to strengthen its provisions. It extends the scope of application to cover both international and internal armed conflicts; prohibits the use of non-detectable anti-personnel mines and their transfer; prohibits the use of non-self-destructing and non-self-deactivating mines outside fenced, monitored and marked areas; broadens obligations of protection in favour of peacekeeping and other missions of the United Nations and its agencies; requires States to enforce compliance with its provisions within their jurisdiction; and calls for penal sanctions in case of violation.
PROBLEM SOLVED.

That of course, includes the United States Government who says they will continue to use them until 2010 (but is really saying, until we can develop a new land mine that we can deactivate after we leave the battlefield, and thus fall into the loophole). Oh, and except for the ones in Korea...
God forbid anyone get hurt in combat.
