Because in this tournament, the "away" team will play in their away strip regardless, unless that in itself causes a colour clash. All so they can sell more shirts

Turkey were playing with a narrow back six in the brief time I saw the game. Not even Jose would park the bus that obviously.

Thread Irished.
Just came in to post that.

One of the Danish players just collapsed. He was getting CPR. Looks really bad. I fear the worst

Is there any update. When i saw them doing chest pumps I was frozen.

Erickson collapsed. They’re doing CPR on him. Reports of defibrillator as well. Fecking coverage keeps cutting from drone footage to his wife to the medics trying to resuscitate him.

Give the man some dignity FFS. Doesn’t look good for him. Poor bastard.

BBC have stopped coverage. The guys wife was at the game and came to the side of the pitch. Last I saw they had a curtain around him

Reuters reporting he was seen to raise his hand as he was stretchered off in the last couple of minutes.

Fingers crossed

Reuters can say sh!t. Hope it’s true and hope he pulls through. Can’t get image of his face out my mind.

Picture on the twattersphere of him being taken off the pitch with oxygen and machines that go ping.

UEFA statement that he's been transferred to hospital and is stable

But were they going ping? Still o2 a good sign.

UEFA tweet saying he’s been stabilised and transferred to hospital. Good to hear.

Edit: as saint said above.

Beeb saying he is awake! Let’s hope true.

Never mind reports of a defibrillator, you saw them using it live. Coverage should have been cut as soon as it was obvious how serious it was. Family and friends were probably watching that.

His poor wife.

The Danish captain Kjaer is a fucking superstar - put him in the recovery position and started cpr before the medics arrived, then he coordinated the player cordon and comforted Erikson’s wife.

This Russia game is properly dull

I am delighted this young man has survived, I thought they screened all elite athletes these days for heart defects?

I find this reaction a tad bizarre in football it seems you do something pretty normal or at least showing a degree of compassion and empathy and you are greeted as the second coming of Mother Teresa. There are videos of of the Finnish and Danish fans chanting Christian and Ericsson back and forth to each other with messages showing that football supporters showing their class and we are all one big family. It just seems to me hyperbolic and a bit mawkish.

Long Covid…….

Thank you! One is used to seeing these young man behaving like spoiled little brats, hence the surprise when for once they actually act human.

Terrible event, i hope that player will be alright. Although a heart problem that severe at that age is not a good prospect...

I think the Danish captain deserves some respect because, although what he did should be pretty normal, a fairly high percentage of people are absolutely effing useless in a crisis/pressure situation. Even sometimes when they've had appropriate training, the bystander effect is powerful enough to make them hesitate.

I’m sitting in the garden trying to watch the England game on what appears to be a farking useless iPlayer stream. Endless “an error has occurred” bollocks. I’ll be farked if I’m leaving the sun and going inside for that shite.

That aside, England look of a mind to batter Croatia here.

Difficult to support England with Stirling playing for them

It’s more Kyle Walker, Pickford or Maquire. Sterling is ok. His form is shite of late and he’s possibly there on reputation. Apart from that what’s your beef with him?

Edit: and yes I know he isn’t playing today.

(Stolen)

The most common result in the US from outwardly similar incidents is the diagnosis of a structural heart anomaly that had previously gone unnoticed. They are the kinds of things that even general MRIs and cardiac stress tests can (and do) miss.

I believe that was the case with Fabrice Muamba and also Clive Clark who collapsed during a Nottingham Forest-Leicester game. Both Muamba and Clark lived (and still do) but neither played ever again.

Typical BBC giving us a Scotland update during the England game amiright?

Not going to lie, I wanted more of Kelly Somers and her pitchside companion (whose name I failed to catch).

I would agree that some credit is due for keeping his head in a stressful situation it’s just the superhero stuff seems a bit OTT

Credit to me.

Harry Kane getting back to what he knows best and that’s glancing behind him and then backing under the jumper before folding like a house of cards and clutching his head.

Media wankfest over a 1 - 0 win against a team that have only won 2 out of their last 10 games including wins against mighty Malta and Cyprus. England now world class.

I only saw bits of the match as was watching the tennis. Turgid was the word that sprung to mind.

Regarding Eriksen: everyone seems to have their knickers in a twist that they used a defibrillator. That’s actually a good thing. If your heart stops with a ‘shockable’ rhythm there’s a good chance it can be shocked back to a normal one, and if you had good CPR and were shocked early, there’s every chance of a complete recovery. Eriksen only had a loss of output for a minute or two, he was conscious before leaving the pitch, and the outlook is good.

If your heart stops and the rhythm isn’t shockable, unless there is a clear reversible cause (lack of oxygen, obvious blood loss, etc) then the outcome is usually grim.
