I wonder if they'll suspend the belgium game?


He's young so there's a good chance with early CPR he does ok. Depends on the pathology.

Nah, Belgium - Russia will go ahead. gently caress if I'm not sitting here feeling like an absolute wreck for Eriksen though.

Hope it’s not the worst outcome, apparently this is sometimes done to reduce stress on person in ambulance

I don't think this would be a situation in which they would care about patient stress levels but obviously anything I say about that would be speculation

It could have but more than likely it wouldn't have if he hadn't been exerting himself.

I don't see how they can make the players play again today. Even with eriksen alive everyone is going to be completely shot emotionally

While I agree with this I don't see how they make it work with the tournament's schedule.

Speaker said both teams want to finish the match. If that's true I understand how this happened.

However, I think you should take it out of their hands. I've been in a similar situation and I would have sworn I wanted to continue and finish. Thankfully wiser heads took that choice away from me and I thank them for it.

I don't get why they shouldn't play if they wanted. Eriksens agent said he spoke with his dad and he's reportedly awake and speaking.

Their ability to make this decision with a clear mind has been compromised by the traumatic event they just witnessed involving their friend and teammate.

Would all the CPR not have done him some damage as well? As far as I know (and I don't know much) it's not very good for you - but better than your heart not working.

Maybe some broken ribs but as far as I know nothing that would prevent a full recovery. Famous last words before LAC proves me wrong.

Someone should have made that decision for them. You can't expect traumatised people to make good decisions.

He said that they could play or postpone it for tomorrow at 12pm. No one really wanted to play but it was best to just get the match over with, they couldn't mentally handle the prospect of having to play tomorrow.


"It was unmanageable for the players to imagine not being able to sleep tonight - and then having to show up tomorrow, take the bus to the stadium and play the match. It seemed worse than trying to just get it over with now - and frankly - just getting it done. We wanted to put it behind us. It was this choice the players took together."

So they gave the group of traumatised guys two less than optimal alternatives. I mean it's a poo poo situation all around but there has to be better ways of doing this

Finland have to play the 16th. Apparently too big a hassle for UEFA to move their game to the 17th so both teams could get have gotten two days rest.

Yeah I know scheduling was an issue. Maybe they could have declared it a 0-0 (if both teams agreed). I don't know if there is a better solution but I do know that the Danes especially would not have been in a position to make a clear headed decision.

Couldnt the Danes have just refused to play?

You can't expect a group of traumatised people to make the best decision available. Especially not when that decision is not offered as an alternative by the governing body of the tournament that they would like to continue to play in.

Obviously I do not know exactly how this decision came to pass but I don't think it's fair to put any share of this on the group of guys who just saw their friend almost die. Did you see their faces when this whole thing was happening?

Oh just seeing this now, Eriksen actually was loving dead

Definitely looked like it at the time. There was a shot of his face when he was on the ground and before they had the decency not too focus on it too much that's gonna haunt me for a while.

Also congrats to all the Englishes for their victory over a spent and old Croatia.
