Fair play to them. Heroic for sure, but definitely one where they can't be in the right frame of mind for (either team, but Denmark especially).
I think everyone will want them to do well now. I'm going to full-on support them, feck England
Agreed. I also don’t doubt UEFA had a big hand in the game restarting. Conspiracy or not, UEFA have previous.
Yeah, it's one of those things where the focus and concentration required lets you zone out of reality for a bit. As professional players they'll probably be even better at getting into that kind of zone than most.
After seeing someone nearly die on the pitch they won’t be in the right head space even if they think they are, and should even be cancelled out of respect to Eriksen.
Goosebumps.
That's one way of looking at things. I'm sure they are all incredibly relieved right now and just want to get back to a bit of normality and to win the game in his honour.
Just give them the trophy, I don't think anyone would mind.
Who are we to judge their state of mind? If you thought your captain had just had a serious health concern, possibly fatal. Then you find out he’s alive and communicating, id personally be over the moon.
Rightly so. They needed to cut that feed immediately. How anyone allowed that to go on for so long to shocking.
The players were OK with continuing the game after being informed of Eriksen's situation in the hospital.
If he told his teammates he wants them to play(assumption) then they will respect his wishes. If i were his teammate i'd do what i think he'd want them to do and as an elite competitive footballer it wouldn't be surprising he wants his team to play and win regardless of his own condition.
That is my worry here: peer pressure. Even if you don´t feel like playing here, do you want to be the person that might cause a problem for your teammates? I´m really reminded of the time the Dortmund bus was bombed and the team was split on the decision to play on the next day. At the end all played eventhough the club did gave them the choice not to, but you could see the trauma and shock in the eyes of many in that game.
Let's not put words into people's mouths. As far as we know the players are willing to play.
The way the draw is lining up, wouldn't surprise me if they... I mean we... get quite far in the competition.I think everyone will want them to do well now. I'm going to full-on support them, feck England
Eriksen is not the captain, its Kjær. Although he is undoubtedly the best outfield player.
It is a guilty pleasure of mine.
I share the same thoughts. I imagine there will be a few Danish players that don't really want to play right now, probably some Finnish players too.
It is the players decision.
They are the ONLY people who can make that decision.
This.

Or the Munich air disaster when the team felt something wasn't right and Harry Gregg said if just one person spoke up no one would have got on the flight.
why ? Lets be honest they are the only one who can say if they are able to play or not.
Come on Denmark and Finland (they did their part too).
That's a total cop out. Not Gary's decision of course but they could have cut back to the studio if they wanted.
It was Platini.
It was fecking weird them showing what they did and the beeb should probably have cut to studio.
exactly - none of the young lads on either team would put their hand up and say they don’t feel they can play.
The BBC can still cut the feed, sorry to make a bad example but if The Queen died the broadcast would've been stopped. I know they've got measures in places for catastrophes.
Ah so there is no chance of them cutting off the live pictures then? Bullshitter
