God I wish our anthem was half as good as Land of my Fathers is.

Don't worry we have an anthem where the fans start to clap before it's finished followed by chants of Engerland😀

Wales seem like two teams poorly joined together with a fairly skillful midfield and then a target man with a quick guy in Dan James playing off him. Not sure the two bits work together well.

Mepham quite lucky not to give away a pen too.

Shit defending. Roberts never even looked at the ball, was just playing the man. Embolo hardly left the ground.

Wales look as bad as Turkey.

Against the run of play that, Switzerland have been dominant second half. Nice routine mind.

Let’s see what Wales are made of now they have equalised.

Just turned it on to see the Swiss second goal and VAR save Wales.

Wales riding their luck like a Texan rodeo but would be an excellent point to get.

Typical Savage Wales need somebody in midfield to foul the Swiss players😀

Danny Ward looked decent in goal.
Probably too good to just be sitting on Leicesters bench

They paid plenty for him a few years ago as well, odd one. Wonder if they thought Kasper was leaving?

Saw the second half.  Entertaining stuff.  Beautiful equaliser but overall Wales will be pleased with the point.  Beat Turkey and they'll have momentum.

I missed the crucial part of the proceedings though.  Quinny and Nemo strangely silent.

Did they take the knee?

The Premier League goal keeper equivalent of signing Hope because Doyle left but then getting Doyle back...

Yes.

Cameras need to find something else to do here. Horrible.

Interesting point you raise. These tournaments are like a shop window for players who are on the fringes of being classed as first team regulars or play outside their national countries top domestics league.

This does not look good.

Horrible - this game will be abandoned whatever

Can they not show some highlights or something.

Yep. Cut the live feed, would be unfair to go back to the studio. Put the highlights of the Wales game on with a message.

Jesus Christ, finding his wife and putting her on camera. Whoever is directing this needs sacking.

I was out of the room what happened did he just collapse

Yeah, he just went down. The initial zoom in was pretty harrowing.

Many thanks

Just went down as if punch drunk - looks like he was fitting on the floor - next thing he was being chest pumped and shocked..  not good.

Can only hope he is strong enough to pull through like Fabrice did

Thanks Berni and let's hope he can pull through and thoughts go to his family

dear god, wasn't watching so just caught up.

awful. just awful. I fear the worst given the way the BBC have described events

Same here Batch I turned on to see the BBC pundits very distraught

Please God let Christian Eriksen pull through. Just an awful thing to happen.

Just seen a WhatsApp message of him awake. He looks like shit but still alive. Fingers crossed

Let's hope so and cheers for sharing

See his legs move due to chest compressions is harrowing. Scary.

I hope he’s ok. Reminds me of Fabrice Muamba.

The news sounds a little more promising. Images being posted of him being conscious. Fingers crossed.

I've done CPR training (thankfully never had to in reality) and it's fucking grim. Better than the alternative though. Understand the desire for hope but think that it's best to wait for official news. Fingers firmly crossed.

Switched over to the cricket quite early on and I must say there's something very comforting about an England batting collapse in the circumstances.

Uefa statement says he's stable and being transferred to hospital.

The BBC have just confirmed that

So, has the game been called off. The term being used currently in the media is ‘suspended’ does that mean it’s likely to restart today?

Further information in ten minutes but can't imagine there's any chance of a restart tonight.

The statement came out literally two seconds after I posted that

What about the Belgium V Russia game

Danish FA say he is awake in hospital

Fuck me, that was tough to watch. The shots of his wife were harrowing. The people in charge of direction should be ashamed - there is no way any of that needed to be shown

The danish Fa tweet also referred to the game being temporarily postponed, which sounds optimistic

Just a thing on CPR - defibrillators (automated versions of the CPR process) are fucking miraculous and if you have a spare five minutes, familiarising yourself with how they work and where they are is well worth doing. Manual CPR is difficult and has a low success rate. Defibs have a very high success rate and guide anyone in their use. There should be a lot more of them around

...and from what I’ve read on the internet (not a wholly reliable source) the way they are depicted in television & films is wholly inaccurate

Well, they largely leave out the fact that the defibrillator itself guides you through the process. The user certainly doesn't choose if and when a shock will happen, and it's more or less impossible to do it wrong. You apply patches and then the machine judges what, if anything, is needed.

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.

Rumours the game will carry on at 7.30pm

...but...you still shout ‘stat’ and ‘don’t you die on me’ right?


Seems the game is going ahead.
Tbh now knowing Eriksen is ok if I was a player I’d take the game as a good temporary distraction

as above. 7:30 confirmed. that's from UEFA Twitter

I can only imagine the Danish side have asked to. There's no way anyone would pressure them to play tonight, no? Even in football administration.

Yes, both players asked for it according to uefa twitter

Danny Ward would have saved that!

when did Kovar get a Schmeichel mask?

Why was there no var on the penalty. No way was it a penalty.

Russia look shite :zzz:

Yep, a year ago they may have been OK. It appears I don't understand the offside rule though. Need another 50p with the exceptions listed.

Same here Cookie a new one on me!
