Denmark midfielder Eriksen collapses during Euro 2020 match

Kinda fucked that they didn't cut off the feed but instead showed his girlfriend crying on the pitch 🙄

I hope he recovers well.

Like to agree with you, and they kept airing until that really long decision been made to resume the match.

News is now that he can talk, so seems good news.

The feed doesn't just cut off since its up and running several hours before the game even starts. It's up to individual programmes to decide what to do with that feed. The programme I watched it on, went to commercials right after it was decided the match will not resume right away and I believe that's what most programmes do.

I was watching Dutch television, and they aired everything until Eriksen was carried off the pitch. I think BBC changed the programme altogether. But even so, they could have at least not aimed the camera at Eriksen getting CPR or his girlfriend crying 🤷🏻‍♂️ That was very deliberate, and was in bad taste imo.

Watched the game. You hear about players collapsing all the time, but this time it is a world-known player and during the Euro... So of course, this shit already posted all over the social media

Interesting point btw, should Movies / TV also include sports?

I guess you could say sports is kind of in TV when we watch that at home? Oh, those categories. ¯_(ツ)_/¯

I'd say pro-wrestling is more of an "entertainment" than sport? Theater even? I wouldn't dare to say, never understood this thing anyways :D

I remember when Feher (Benfica player) died on the pitch over a decade ago under very similar circumstances-- he was even smiling before collapsing... I can only hope the same outcome won't happen this time.

Statement from UEFA sounds hopeful 🙏

We got a dutch soccer player Nouri that played for Ajax that even went into a coma and got brain damage which possibly could have been prevented because they looked too much in clearing his throat rather then looking at his heart.

Statement from Danish football association saying he's awake, so that's positive! 👍

edit: According to his agent Eriksen is conscious and capable of talking.

I've just come home and I've heard that in news. I don't care too much about football to watch whole matches yet this kind of news is always disturbing. Such young and strong men, you could think, and yet such things can happen to them.

Quick edit: just heard an update, apparently he had a heart attack. My god, at this age! I used to think heart attacks is an issue of elders. World is crazy nowadays.

It's not uncommon, not just with soccer players but with any kind of sport, any age.
Apparently something to do with a sudden strain on the heart, but could also be perhaps they always had an underlying heart condition that they never knew and sometimes even then they can't predict things.

It happened not that long ago i think with another sporter but i can't think of a name or the sport.

I got cardiomyopathy, in shows from the eighties i watch, it gets treated like something you can die early from, meanwhile my heart is still fine and they can't predict how it would progress, could be a pacemaker like my dad with bags full of medicine, or it stays fine.

I guess you're right, if I think about it, it happens in news every once in a while. Just tho cause of the overall progress you can hear about it recently way more often than, let's say, 10 years ago. Still, no matter how common or not it is, it's always disturbing to hear about such cases for young, strong people in their prime time.

Oh wow. I hope it stays fine for you, I really do!
