Euro 2021* — THE FINAL WE ALL WANTED

For anyone really but for someone like Rom as his teammate, how’s he supposed to play in an hour?

 

You can choke on your tongue while unconscious if it falls back into the airway.

 

I wonder how much him being near the play helped in the response time too. Some of the other incidents have been away from the play so it takes a while for everything to register with everyone.

 

I mean everyone on the pitch was screaming at the medics

 

ehh they got to him in plenty of time, you have about 3-4 minutes before the brain starts getting damaged

 

Not to make a PSA out of this, but everyone should know CPR and basic life saving skills. You can take the class online then do an in person skills assessment. It’s simple, cheap, and can help save lives. Red Cross and AHA both offer options. Do it, please.

 

I don't know the exact details but maybe one of the doctor's on here can share more. My buddy has an issue with an electrical misfire that can occur in his heart that they don't have a way to test normally. The only way to find it is when it occurs.

Now that he has a defibrillator installed, he's able to perform at almost the same level he performed before his nearly died. Obviously, he wasn't a professional soccer player. So Eriken's career may be over, but at least he's alive.

 

This reminds me a lot of Fabrice Muamba. That was terrifying.

 

Yeah, that happened to John Terry in the 2007 League Cup final after he got knocked out by an inadvertent boot. Scary shit and not something that you immediately think of if you’re not trained on it.

 

Ehhh

 

It looked like a seizure to me too.

 

Makes sense. Was terrifying half hour but seems like he will be ok

 

didn’t he fall on his stomach?

 

Agreed and to take it a step further, you can download the CPR app and it will audibly walk you through and provide video if you panic or are unsure.

 

football players play immediately after similar incidents that they were on the field for. You could and probably should argue that is not the way to do it but I wouldn’t expect UEFA or FIFA to ever do the right thing

 

His ability to remain calm might have been the difference between life and death. So many times in incidents like this everyone just stands around and acts hysteric. He acted and made a difference.

 

On you side with your arm pillowing the head if possible.

 

that is great info …. Thank you

This should be pre-loaded on all cell phones … instead I get a stupid “Tips” app that I have to delete because it’s annoying

 

Yes. This is correct.

 

yeah he tipped forward off his knees and landed on his belly

 

I didn’t see the video, but I’m guessing it wasn’t a seizure and those movements were part of his collapse and heart problem. Rolling him on his side for a clear seizure is fine but if a person collapses you are checking for alertness (sternum rub), breathing (rise and fall of the chest), and a pulse simultaneously.

 

Christian Eriksen is awake and his condition remains stable. He remains hospitalized at Rigshospitalet for further examinations.

The match against Finland will be played tonight. This happens after the players have been confirmed that Christian is okay. The match resumes at 20.30.


Shocked they are resuming this game tonight after the delay and all that happened

 

Lol what the actual fuck?

 

The players should refuse to go out there

 

Lol at even the thought of UEFA canceling Belgium-Russia

 

Can’t believe they are finishing this match tonight. Give the players a few days after what they’ve been through

 

Fuck UEFA. This is absolutely preposterous.

 

you don’t know what the players thoughts are… they may want to play… good grief

 

I hope that’s a decision that was made by the players, not uefa.

 

Not surprised that Belgium/Russia will be played but holy shit at asking the players to finish the Denmark/Finland match.

 

For sure after crying for an hour they want to go play footy

 

Schmeichel looked like he was going to cry during the warm up

nice

 

I always found playing whatever sport I was playing or any exercise… or sometimes even my job a great way to get away from something terrible … you just don’t have all the info

 

Ok I’m just not going to engage with that

 

UEFA saying it was the request of the players, and even though it’s UEFA, surely they wouldn’t lie about something like this.

 

I’m sure the players agreed to continue. No way UEFA is making them play against their will. Right??

 

Should be some interesting post match interviews

 

seems as good a time as any to post this just to raise awareness, but the organization i’ve linked to below has been trying to prevent sudden cardiac arrest in youth sports through heart screenings, education, and making sure aed’s are easily accessible and present at sport venues (high schools, parks, etc.) across the u.s. (although they’re based in florida, so that’s mostly where they’ve left their mark)

i’m not part of the organization, but i know the people who run it are good dudes. the person this organization’s dedicated to, rafe, was a teammate and friend of mine for a few years before he passed due to sudden cardiac arrest at 15

anyway just thought i’d pass this along for those interested

It’s reprehensible to make that call unless all players agreed to it.
