Goalie Emmanuel Ladouceur, 24, of the first ever Haiti National Amputee Soccer Team, saves a goal with his bare hand during practice at a donated space behind Quisqueya Christian Chapel in Delmas, Port-au-Prince, Haiti October 6, 2010. Ladouceur is one of three recent amputees on the team who lost a limb due to the January earthquake. Ladouceur was trapped under rubble for four days before being pulled out. Throughout the duration of their training, the players had to deal with a serious lack of equipment including things such as gloves, proper shin guards, cleats and unbroken crutches.
