Great to see Christian Eriksen revived and stabilised after that horrible incident where he was clearly dead on the pitch after collapsing just before HT - a tremendous job by the medical staff who administered CPR and proof that this technique will save lives as long as the medics can get to the scene as quickly as poss. However, I must say I was gobsmacked to hear the UEFA decision to resume the match later in the evening esp after observing the mental state of most of the shocked Danish players during and after the desperate efforts to save Eriksen. I've never been a great fan of UEFA and this move just endorses my disregard for this footie association that spans way back to the Heysel Stadium disaster in 1985 when their officials decided the "show must go on" when 100s n 100s of dead bodies were piled up on the terracing during an infamous European Cup final that diminished the importance of footie in the eyes of many observing fans who watched this scene unfold in such tragic circumstances. There are far more important things in life even though admittedly the sport is enjoyable to watch for many people in our society. I gather that UEFA had no other vacant dates to play this match. But IMO this was totally "out of order" and insensitive to this type of shocking incident!!
