Euro 2020/2021

I think I'm gonna be sick. This is just horrible.

[Speedtrucker 2071]

So awful. What the fuck is it about soccer that makes it so much more likely for guys to die on the pitch? Seems like it happens way more than in really any other sport. 
 

I honestly thought them going to 5 subs was a step in helping get away from those/these types of events.

[RamjetFDO 10575]

Oh God... is that his wife?

[Speedtrucker 2071]

They are cheering? Maybe he’s been revived?

I hope so.

Games suspended

[Hagbard Celine 10853]

aneurysm, massive hemorrhagic stroke, something instant

[GlenFromTheMailRoom 1604]

This is the worst thing I’ve ever seen in sports.  T&P for Christian and his family.

[Longhornfan1024 1707]

Shit. What happened? A head injury or did he just randomly collapse?

So was there any contact that led to this or did he just collapse?

wtf

I think it was due to the fact that they lifted him up. It didn't seem like anyone was very happy on the pitch.

[RGBIII 22840]

Dude this is so bad

[midtown 3345]

This is absolutely gut wrenching.   

[Bottlecap 1523]

i did see him spasm with his arms as they were giving CPR early on. i hope there was still life there.

[Longhorn_Fan68 33869]

reminds me a lot of when Rich Peverley died on the Stars bench and they revived him in the tunnel. Holy shit, hope he pulls through.

[Speedtrucker 2071]

No no contact, he made a long run peeled off as the ball was cleared, started slowly stumbling and collapsed.

[Hagbard Celine 10853]

bbc game stream:

Christian Eriksen collapsed as a throw-in was played towards him.

[usmc0331horn 953]

Hank Gathers is the only thing that comes to mind but I don't think I was watching at the time. This is one of the worst things I've ever witnessed.

[ztejas 43418]

Shit crashed twitter. 

[hayden_horn 11362]

holy shit, how fucking tragic. hope he pulls through. i can't even. those scenes of his girl there on the sideline. my god.

[ztejas 43418]

This happened recently with a Florida or Florida State basketball player I think but he was quickly revived and got through it just fine.

Doesn't seem like this was a quick resuscitation if one at all. 

Russell Westbrook had a teammate in high school collapse and die. Seems like basketball and soccer are the worst offenders.

Was just receiving a throw in.  Nothing out of the ordinary.  He just collapsed.  
 

Edit* - class move by his teammates to try to block the cameras.  And to Schmeichel and Kjaer.

Ive been bugging my kids to watch the game. Glad they didn’t agree.

do athletes at this level all get echos for hypertrophic cardiomyopathy?

Yeah continued CPR and they shocked him. It didn't seem like it helped them.

Dude, shut the fuck up with the arm chair diagnosis.

Actually, it's a question I've wondered for a while.

Stuff like this is not hard to diagnose and what he mentioned is easily the most likely offender. What do you think it was, terminal pancreatic cancer?

Was reading on reddit and apparently it's hard to detect in athletes because the muscle is so developed already.

Did I say that?  Why try to sit there and postulate what happened versus just hoping for the best for the player?

Why is everyone like this whenever something tragic happens? We'd like to know why it happened and this forum is for discussing things. It's a valid question. My MA advisor died suddenly when a pulmonary embolism burst while on a ladder in the archives in Italy reaching for a book. We all wanted to know why it happened.

Just came to post that.

Whew at least he was awake again. Hope he pulls through this

[LonghornJudas 1097]

Started a little late and was just getting caught up...Holy shit. So glad to see that tweet above. 

[Bottlecap 1523]

That pic of Eriksen alert just sent a wave of relief through me like a hit of Narcan. LETS FUCKIN GOOOOO  🇩🇰

Hopefully everything turns out fine. That shit was terrifying, I mean, I got nauseous watching that. I don’t think I’ve ever seen something like that. Can’t imagine how his family and teammates were feeling. Prayers.

UEFA has released "has been stabilised", but the broadcast teams aren't saying a word?

 

Edit - they just mentioned it.

It is not a universal policy, no.

But there is some merit to screening.

Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) is reported historically as the most common cause of SCD in athletes younger than 35 years of age. (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6223355/)

Usually if someone has a past or family history of HCM (or HOCM) then you screen with echocardiograms.

[The Maestro 750]

So glad he’s alive.  Prayers for a full recovery.  

[Hagbard Celine 10853]

The Danish FA says Christian Eriksen is awake and waiting more tests in hospital.

[SimonBolivar 10958]

Man I'm beaming over here. Hope he wasn't out for too long, but he looks relatively alert.

Seriously, that's an amazing job by all who responded.  Wow.

Just bought 50,000 shares of Magic Soccer Spray Inc. and will never mock it again.

He's been with Ajax, sold to Tottenham and then to Inter Milan. I can't imagine him not going through every screening and test possible over that last 10 years.
