Bad luck: Aleksandar Kocic

Belgrade, June 8 - Yugoslavia's third-choice goalkeeper, Aleksandar Kocic, has pulled out of Euro 2000 after slipping and breaking finger oh nis right foot when coming out of the shower. The accident happened after the team's last home training session on Wednesday.

"This happens once in 100 years", said Kocic, who plays for Red Star Belgrade. "I don't know how I could fall just before the trip...I have no luck but that's life and you have to get used to it."

"I believe the victories of my friends will ease the pain."
