So we are off and running.

Thought I'd create a thread where all matters relating to the tournament (apart from Scotland which has it's own thread) can go.

Almost half time in ?? v ?? game.

All Italy but still no break through.

Italians have looked really good so far. Will they make the break through or will the Turks hit them with the classic sucker punch ?

 

Bale has done pretty much fuck all in this game but you just know he is capable of putting Wales back into the game with one bit of magic.

Decent result in the end for Wales. Fucked my coupon though. 

Not quite sure what has happened to the Danish player there but we've got team mates literally in tears on the pitch.

Hope to fuck this isn't anything like as serious as it is looking at present.

I think he’s gone. I hope to hell not but they’re doing cpr

Looking really as bad doing CPR on him, Christian Eriksen, on the pitch. 

Games been abandoned.

Only possible option.

No one would want to continue after witnessing that.

Awful, just awful.

Hope he pulls through, but really didn't look good

Just suspended for now I believe 

According to UEFA he’s on the way to hospital and has been “stabilised”. From bbc text

 

Great news.....

Surely they won't re-arrange it.  You can't ask any of those involved to play the game again which, because of the scheduling, would probably have to be played tomorrow!  

Picture of Eriksen sitting up leaving the pitch.

Being reported that Eriksen is awake and speaking in hospital. Amazingly the Danish players have allegedly asked that game be restarted at half 8.

Impressive turnaround. I'm assuming they'll be allowed a sub.

Cant believe you deleted my previous posts. You're going to have to get some [thisIsJustAJoke/] tags for the forum to save me having to explain my terrible sense of humour.

Half 8 was CET not U.K. time and second half underway.

1-0 Finland with their first attempt on target. Mistake by Schmeichel. Got to wonder if his mind is fully on the game.

Agree about Schmeichel.

It wasn't even a decent header that beat him

It was point blank though. Often those ones just hit a goalkeeper without them knowing much about it, it was a bit unfortunate. It doesn't help that they showed about 83 slow motion replays of it. Of course your going to save it in slow motion.

 

Belgium 2-0 up now.

3-0 now. Great finish by Lukaku for his second of the night.

And a snowflake tag for how deeply upsetting I found it.

England will beat Croatia 2-0 and Austria will beat North Macedonia 2-1.

(If true ^^, I'll be sitting in a 70 metre yacht in Monaco drinking kopi luwak while nestled between a Brazilian girl's cleavage and therefore might be quiet on here for a while.)

When I played Rugby Union we had a player who never got up after a scrum. He had no feeling neck down. They had to get the ambulance on to the pitch and stabilize him before they could put him in the ambulance and take him to hospital. I remember hearing the panic in his voice. We all just looked on in shock. We actually finished off the game but we were no way near putting 100% into the game. Thankfully he had feeling return but that was the end to his Rugby playing days. 

See the photo of Eriksen's girlfriend climbing over the barrier to go see him and the supporters faces looking at her with mass concern and worry.

We need more love and respect like that in the world.
