Fins will surprise today - not sure if that's a draw or a shock win. But since I was told to go big I'll go with a Finland win. Finland usually plays their best around the summer solstice so there's that too.

If they could string three passes together I’d believe this.

Pandemic’s over in Woodbridge lol

Me too

Lot of violence in this one. None of it particularly malicious but really fucking up the movement of the match.

 

[jstewismybastardson]

Oh my god

 

[Bloody Brian Burke]

And just like that there goes Eriksen.

Chest compressions

 

[Bloody Brian Burke]

Oh my god

Game obviously officially suspended. Not sure what’s happening with Belgium-Russia later.

Oh my god

I just saw it - Man, that's scary but I am seeing reports that he is now responsive and seems to be out of danger.

 

[Judge Fudge]

I'm not a soccer fan but I just wanted to see what happened.

He looked dehydrated and sluggish before it happened

What was the score...

I ask because they might call it

Reports saying they used an aed on him. It was agonizing watching him lay there over a minute (1:09 apparently) without the trainers starting any compression

That goes alot with what I'm now beginning to believe, heart attack.

It's happened before in sports.

Enlarged hearts are common among elite athletes. It’s led to a few deaths in soccer - Miklos Feher and Marc-Vivian Foe in particular come to mind. Both died on the pitch. Iker Casillas most notably had a heart attack during training and never played again.

Really happy to see Eriksen’s stable.

 

[Bloody Brian Burke]

Game on.

 

[sabresfaninthesouth]

Game on.

That had better be due to a demand from his teammates to finish.

UEFA enjoys a slightly better reputation than FIFA, but unless they specifically wanted that, that's messed up making them go back out.

Yeah they said both teams wanted to play it out. UEFA’s dumb but they wouldn’t be dumb enough to make these guys come back out there if they were too distraught to do so.

Knowing Eriksen’s stable likely helped a lot.
