Finland v Denmark.......

Brilliant quick thinking. Amazing work from the medics as well to start the heart compressions so quickly until the cardiac machine arrived.

Good from the Ref as well as he reacted immediately.

Wow, this outcome could have been so so different. Amazing.

 

[unification]

I guess knowing he was awake and stable was enough for the Danish team. Personally it would still be on my mind but if the consensus from both sides was to get on with it, good on them.

Poor ITV. Finally have a match this tournament and the Beeb’s game will still be going.

Also, I think this is the first instance where I have seen a commentator substituted! Jonathan Pearce has come off.

Phew thank god for that. Might watch the Russia Belgium match

Why has JP come off? Has he other commitments?!

They may have packed up Comms equipment etc not expecting to carry on. They are back for the 2nd half.

1-0 to the Fins....

1-0 to the Fins....

Felt sorry .for the goalscorer. Scored in a European Championships, celebrated as your natural reaction is, but then stopped. I salute you.

Penalty to Denmark.................saved.

Yes, what happened to VAR. It was used earlier or is it only for offside in this competition?

 

[Belgium Yellow]

1 - 0 to the Red Devils by the way

Bit gutted Denmark didn't get the result there. They were the better team for the majority of the match but understandably it would've been very difficult to play in those conditions.

I can understand why the Danes wanted to get it out of the way, not like they were going to be feeling much better tomorrow but I should imagine they were absolutely drained, they literally stood around a dead/dying teammate as people were trying to save his life, you don’t recover physically or mentally from that for a while.

Absolutely disgusting the footage that was shown, it was obvious much earlier than the cameras cut away the severity of the situation, a few people’s jobs have been saved by him surviving, but it’s still no excuse to not show the proper respect for anyone in that position.

But thank God/Allah/Buddha/John Trewick he survived, everything in this tournament else pales beside that.

I didn’t see the what happened, as I’ve been watching the cricket, but I didn’t see an Ambulance on the pitch. I assume he just collapsed?

Like Marc Vivien Foe, and Fabrice Muamba, and Miklos Feher….

And me.......
