Yeah, I felt it too. I've been on a pitch with a team mate who went down like that (wasn't as critical, "just" dehydration, but still a scary one). We had to finish the game (we were about 13 then), and none of the teams did much other than pass the ball around. But perhaps they both got together and wanted to finish it in Eriksen's honor and show unity thought that? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Freakiie Posted June 12, 2021 Share Posted June 12, 2021 2 minutes ago, Rebs said: I think the players agreeing to play it is admirable, but you're not telling me there aren't a handful who will be playing this while not realising how they have been affected by it, seeing it all happen actually happen right in front of them, and maybe they just don't realise the mental damage it has done. In some ways, it could actually be a good thing for them, a kind of therapeutic experience for them, but for some it might not be like that and they won't even know it yet. I'd have thought it would have been more sensible to just say to them 'let's just get it played tomorrow lads'. Yeah, I think a bunch just want to play for the sake of pulling their minds elsewhere. Calling it off now and sitting with the incident in their minds the entire evening wouldn't be the most pleasant experience either. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah true, I just think it is a bit soon to get them all back out to play. Kudos on them though for this....and they are such great examples of what we want in football players when so much is reported about them being self-centered money-grabbing individuals at times.

XaW Posted June 12, 2021 Share Posted June 12, 2021 Read a report that said Eriksen had talked to his teammates on the phone. If that's true, then it would likely have impacted the players to continue the game, I would imagine. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whether or not it's the right thing to do is another issues but I can understand that. As soon as he's discharged he'll probably be going to see all of the team, even though his tournament (and possibly career) is over now. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rob1981 Posted June 12, 2021 Share Posted June 12, 2021 Thought they would have kicked this back to tomorrow at least, but then the stupid multi-city format means Finland are due back on a flight from Copenhagen to St Petersburg straight after the final whistle and that is where all their camp and training stuff is. Thought they might have called it at 0-0 but you can see why Denmark want to play to a finish. Doing it for Eriksen etc. and as blunt as it sounds if the tournament is continuing on for them tonight is their best chance of three points. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
