I hope all the best for Eriksen, who recovers and can calm the family down.
It was a moment that affected all football fans. Fortunately the situation ended well.

Unfortunately, this is the result of longer and more demanding times.


We hope that the Euro party returns to normal and that everything goes well until the end.

The match was postponed and myself didn't think they will continue to play it so I left after being sure Eriksen was ok. At my surprise, when I come back I found the game ended with 1 goal to Finland and had to check twice it is indeed today's game. I am a bit pissed, the game shouldn't continue in such very bad condition. Their teammate was almost dying, most players are depressed and crying. I don't know what was the reaction of Denmark team but personally I find UEFA minimised too much the psychological effects of such horror and their decision to continue the game was wrong. At the end, congrats the 3 points Finland.
BTW Russia came to Turkey rescue as usual and reduced the tension on their team by receiving 3 goals too. Those 2 teams surprised us in a bad way.

Yes that's why I wouldn't call that a postponement, it's just an interruption or a suspension I would say.
According to the UEFA, it was a request from both teams to restart the match today, that is to say a request from Denmark itself.

Following the request made by players of both teams, UEFA has agreed to restart the match between Denmark and Finland tonight at 20:30 CET (TBC).

The last four minutes of the first half will be played, there will then be a 5-minute half-time break followed by the second half.

What I can say about Belgium - Russia game - Belgium win @2.1 and over 2.5 goals @2.15 was absolute bargain. I'm not sure why bookmakers underrated Belgium so much, but even without some players they're miles better than Russia. Though, I didn't had big expecations about Russia, but they were much worse than I expected.

Belgium players didn't force themselves after 2-0, that third goal was a bonus. Over 2.5 goals bet was a lucky one, it could've finished 2-0, there wouldn't be any difference. Belgium win odd on the other hand is a sure bargain, why would they give so high odds for one of the favorites of the tournament?

The way Roberto Martinez managed to match today is very great, winning by 3 goals and with the least effort possible against a fierce opponent and very difficult physically, like the Russian national team and on Russian soil without KDB and Witsel and Hazard's lack of fitness.
Personally, I have love and respect A great for a very great coach like Roberto Martinez, according to everyone's testimony. The team currently has very good elements, an excellent system and a coach. I hope they go far in the championship and they deserve this sympathy for what they provided for the past seasons.

Pretty interesting matches in my opinion. I'm curious to see how the English team starts the tournament and whether they can live up to their role as tournament favourites. Nevertheless, the Croatian team should not be underestimated. They have already shown many times in the past that they can be good for a surprise. This match is certainly the most exciting one tomorrow. I bet most of the English fans will go nuts after the long Covid 19 break. 

In the match between Austria and North Macedonia, I think the Austrians are clearly the favourites and I think they will certainly win the match. The same goes for the match between the Netherlands and Ukraine. The Dutch are clear favourites and hopefully we will see some goals!

I'm looking forward to a great football Sunday.

Because almost all EURO matches end under 3 goals that makes sense right today I was surprised to see Denmark lose against Finland whereas if we bet on Denmark the odds are @1.34  this looks like another joke  anyway a lot of unexpected matches, Wales Draw , Denmark Lose, Belgium Big win

[Rabi3]

Russia is a very weak team, easy win from Belgium.
Remember Belgium even if they never won anything at all they are still the number one on the ranking.

For whatever reason they are ahead of France 

if you look at Belgium's team, you can probably see why they're ranked really good, they have some really good quality players, but somehow they didn't make it anywhere yet, i think they have good individual players who don't play together that much, so the chemistry between them is still missing, they did really good today with a confertable win against Russia, which is not a big surprise for a lot of us here.

Belgium have no rivals in this group they are certain to qualify for the next phase and maybe they will get perfect points
We know their worthy opponents are France, Italy or Germany so let's wait for that in the next stage, I guess Belgium is in to the quarter-finals.

It is a bad moment for all. I wish best recovery and good health for Eriksen.

That moment and how Denmark players reacted shows that they are very united team. I am impressed with how Eriksen teammates prayed for him, and tried to protect him on the way out of the field. The way his teammates reacted make me scary and thought of very bad things but fortunately it is a good news, he recovered. Thanks God.

I wish he will get well soon after all full health checkups.

I'm curious about what symptoms or illnesses that befell Eriksen, I see it's like having a heart attack, I don't know if it's true or not but honestly, I looked for information but didn't find anything. We know the media didn't even broadcast a rebroadcast of the incident and that means it's still being kept secret, I still wish Eriksen the best but I'm curious about the illness because I feel Eriksen is in good health.

The exact reason why he collapsed may be revealed later. But the most important thing now is that his condition is stable and he is reportedly awake. He is one of the luckier ones. We have seen numerous cases of players collapsing on the ground from cardiac arrest and dying. Good for Christian Eriksen that he received medical treatment on time and is recovering now.

BTW, there was an incident during one of the warmup matches, when Ireland faced Hungary in Budapest. The Irish players were kneeling when Hungarian anthem was being played and the crowd became upset and booed them. I don't understand the reason to inject all this political correctness in to the sport, especially when there is no history of slavery in countries such as Hungary. Even the Hungarian Prime Minister asked the visitors (Irish) not to disrespect the national anthem by kneeling.

What happened to Eriksen yesterday is very sad. I, who watched the match for a moment, immediately looked for information on social media regarding the latest conditions. Thankfully Eriksen can still be saved, according to the latest news I read this morning, his condition has stabilized. GWS Eriksen.

Denmark's gameplay has completely disappointed me. They could not score a single goal with 22 shots, while Finland managed to score only one goal with 1 shot. Finland played defensively, and Finland's goalkeeper performed exceptionally well. Denmark could not score a single goal just because of Hradecky's great saves.

The team was still in the state of shock, the result literally means nothing to them. Thus I believe that's why they lost the match credit to their opponent. I was surprised why the match had to continue. Hopefully They’re going to be beasts in the following game. Anyway, I became emotional while i was watching the videos particularly as a Fan of football. So happy to hear Eriksen is recovering well. Wishing a rapid recovery, will love to see you play Eriksen!

Games of Sunday

Group D: England vs Croatia (15:00, London)

I will watch only England-Croatia, let's see how the golden boy Foden will play.

England has enough confidence, In the last test match vs Austria and Romania, they got the winner. While Croatia, draw and lost vs Armenia and Belgium. No doubt, England could be haven't problem beating Croatia in Wembley. I can't guess who could be the starter, Sterling or Foden, both have a good performance on Man city. and most likely, Hary Kane irreplaceable for this match because he is the top scorer in the premier league. I think England will get a big win.

[cygan]

a new day and 3 more games are waiting for us today
after yesterday's terrible event, i think a message will be sent to the danish national team in all 3 games - but we will see...

england - croatia (in my eyes the first top match in this tournament, where both teams can win)
austria - northern macedonia (could be a big surprise here)
netherlands - ukraine (in this game the dutch are clear favorites)

[joker_josue]

England - Croatia
I think the game could end in a draw, but I still think England have a slight lead to win. But Croatia have a good team as always. We expect a good game.

Austria - Northern Macedonia
Macedonia has been surprising, arriving or having won Germany. Maybe I can continue to perform well. Probably a tie.

Netherlands - Ukraine
I think the Netherlands will win this game. But surely Ukraine will not make it easy.

[Mistafreeze]

England - Croatia
I think the game could end in a draw, but I still think England have a slight lead to win. But Croatia have a good team as always. We expect a good game.

The current English team is full of star players and they are tipped as one of the team to pick up the Euros if only could come together and focus more on team goal and not individual awards, Croatia are one of my favourite team in Europe so I'm expecting a good game from both side but I fear England may wrap up the game.

Netherlands - Ukraine
I think the Netherlands will win this game. But surely Ukraine will not make it easy.

Great teams but Holland should wrap up this one without stress, I'm betting on Holland to win and >2.5 goals too.

[Luzin]

What happened to Eriksen yesterday is very sad. I, who watched the match for a moment, immediately looked for information on social media regarding the latest conditions.

I was surprised he suddenly fell, I think he had a heart attack. But it's good to see today he is awake and fine. When it happened I really applaud the medical performance, the referee and the players of both teams. They seemed hopeful for Eriksen's safety.

England - Croatia
I think the game could end in a draw, but I still think England have a slight lead to win. But Croatia have a good team as always. We expect a good game.

I don't think so, I believe England can win.  I think English players have better skills than Croatia. Maybe England will win 2-1.

[aoluain]

This is my first post in this thread, I dont watch Soccer regularly but I do take interest
in the big tournaments.

It turns out that the condition of the Danish player Eriksen is stable now which is good news.


For todays games:

I also think England will take the win, they are too talented and being tournament favourites.

Austria v North Mecedonia - wouldnt be able to call that one.

Netherlands v Ukraine - interesting one, I would like to think The Netherlands would win,
but I have to do some research before placing a potential bet.
