Seems shit. But if they know he's fine? Should all the games be postponed if they were a teammate of his? Also, you're assuming Lukaku doesn't want to play. What if he does want to?

Lucas 3,825 Posted June 12, 2021 Share Posted June 12, 2021 Fuck me, what a batshit crazy day. I always say nothing surprises me in Football...well fuck me, I'm surprised. P.S How do TV stations manage to pan off a streaker in a nano second but cannot cut to a studio for a good 10mins whilst someone potentially dies before our eyes? Cunts.

Administrator Stan 18,367 Posted June 12, 2021 Author Administrator Share Posted June 12, 2021 Kasper and Kjaer are true heroes really. Their reaction to that kind of adversity, and to step up and take charge of a harrowing situation shows tremendous character. Kjaer, especially, for responding to Eriksen making sure he didn't swallow his tongue and ensuring players surround him to stop cameras going on him. And for both for going to console Eriksen's Mrs. https://www.gettyimages.co.uk/detail/news-photo/denmarks-goalkeeper-kasper-schmeichel-comforts-sabrina-news-photo/1233414761 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Subscriber Dan+ 1,915 Posted June 12, 2021 Subscriber Share Posted June 12, 2021 Looks like UEFA did give them a today or tomorrow ultimatum after all. I do think it was a tricky one either way but that's a bit off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, you're assuming Lukaku doesn't want to play. What if he does want to? Yeah, obvious in hindsight, UEFA made the right call, but reading back on this scary scene, it was obvious most of us feared the worse, and thus that is what I was basing my statement on, the worse. I think UEFA did a good job asking the players in this game what they wanted to do, and I have no complaints about how things were handled today.

Devil 1,179 Posted June 12, 2021 Share Posted June 12, 2021 Looking and actually reflecting on what we witnessed today, I have to say that was clearly the most distressing moment in sport I've ever witnessed. What really hit home was my wife and two children were with me at the time and even though none are into football all were heavily invested on what we were seeing on screen and tears were shed. BBC were disgusting, we shouldn't have seen those moments which could have been Christians last moments, but like millions we did. I just pray this isn't the end of his career, the result means fuck all now, his recovery is more important for Denmark than any performance. The team themselves were amazing, especially the captain and Schmeichel, credit to their nation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
