BAKU, June 24 (Reuters) - Portugal's beach soccer forward Jose Maria Fonseca faced a personal dilemma -- heed his wife's wishes, stay at home and witness the birth of his first child or play in the inaugural European Games in Azerbaijan.
After much soul-searching, Baku won and on Monday along came baby Alfonso.
"I was very happy and very sad at the same time," he said of being a long way from home.
But thanks to the wonders of Facetime (video conferencing), he did not miss the birth, watching live pictures after a tiring wait.
