Maximus Decimus Posted June 12, 2021 Share Posted June 12, 2021 I've been critical of the Euros going to 24 teams, but it's got nothing on the Copa America - a 10 team tournament in two groups of 5 where 4 go through!

GeordieSaint Posted June 12, 2021 Share Posted June 12, 2021 21 hours ago, Futtocks said: The current crop of England players have had experience of success in the various youth tournaments, which might be a help this time around. To be honest, I really don't know. I have neither high, low or medium expectations at the moment. There’s some really good footballers in this current crop; players who like being on the ball. Grealish, Bellingham, Mount etc… it’s not often we’ve been able to say that. The likes of Gerrard, Lampard et al were great footballers but high energy and not great at retaining possession. Hopefully this current crop can bring that to the national team as it’s needed at this level. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gingerjon Posted June 12, 2021 Share Posted June 12, 2021 Seems that it was whoever broadcasts on behalf of UEFA who chose the feed we all saw. The BBC was far from alone in not cutting to a studio or just away from football entirely. A pox on all of them. Build a man a fire, and he'll be warm for a day.

As has been pointed out, they manage to cut away from streakers without so much of a glimpse of a flying cock but for this we need close ups of emergency CPR?

Niels Posted June 12, 2021 Share Posted June 12, 2021 I just read about it on the BBC site now. Like everyone I am shocked and glad he has stabilised. He is such a classy and graceful player.

DavidM Posted June 12, 2021 Share Posted June 12, 2021 Rapid fire treatment , absolutely vital . I’m so pleased it’s good news . One positive is they’ll now check him and test him thoroughly to see what the underlying problem is . That was a warning , some people in that situation never get the second chance .All the best to him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tim2 Posted June 12, 2021 Share Posted June 12, 2021 Fantastic response from the referee, trainer, medics and the Danish players. I wish I hadn't seen it but Schmeichel and Kjaer comforting Eriksen's wife was just heartbreaking. My thoughts immediately went to Lizzie Jones, but imagine actually being there. I can't. Fingers crossed that he's OK. "I am the avenging angel; I come with wings unfurled, I come with claws extended from halfway round the world. I am the God Almighty, I am the howling wind.
