Mr. Chatywin et al. Posted June 12, 2021 Share Posted June 12, 2021 Something truly awful has happened in the Denmark-Finland match. They're applying CPR to a player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Corvinus85 Posted June 12, 2021 Share Posted June 12, 2021 With the crowd applauding, I think he is still alive, but this is sad and scary. My heart goes out to him and his loved ones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If that's the case, based on how his body was reacting, he may have had a seizure. I had my back to the screen as I was folding laundry and heard everyone immediately freaking out. I assumed it was from a nasty head collision. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fragile Bird Posted June 12, 2021 Share Posted June 12, 2021 They are taking him off the field with blankets lifted up for privacy and an escort of players surrounding the stretcher. It looked like he had an oxygen mask on, so presumably not dead, but something bad happened. A heart attack, I would think. I had the game on while working on the laptop and he was running down the field and all of a sudden he collapsed. Everyone immediately knew something bad happened to him as soon as they reached his side. Sad and scary indeed. A woman was on the other side, his wife? His girlfriend? Looking terrified and crying.

Fragile Bird Posted June 12, 2021 Share Posted June 12, 2021 Ironically, literally a moment before, I was watching all these strong, healthy young men running down the field and I was envying their youth and strength, thinking I wish I could run like that for as long as they can.
