The Scariest Day In Football History

[@giardy8053]

What Kjær did to help Eriksen that day practically saved his life; he will always be a legend in my eyes

[@Vizeh]

He got gifted a UEFA President's award too for what he did, incredible

[@mowvu]

agreed, kjær was the goat that day. unfortunately i was a bystander to an accident once in the past when i was a wee boy and i went to bits. i carried that lesson into adult life, i know to be strong and dependable now. i know to be like ppl like simon kjær

[@ARSENAL_GLAZER]

Very scary moment for shre

DID save his life.

[@SouLP196]

And also the emotional support he gave to Eriksens partner. Great guy

[@riccardolodi4456]

We are lucky to still have him. Eriksen is a fighter, I remember the fear among everyone, and seeing him get better was so relieving.

[@Vizeh]

Was an unbelievable feeling when we knew he was alive

[@kman27cc]

Eriksen never gives up. We knew that when he played for Spurs with his all time and time again

[@riccardolodi4456]

@@Vizeh exactly, I was so happy. Having one of the best players die on the pitch and, as you said perfectly in the video, having it televised way too much, would've been even more tragic. Fortunately they managed to pull him back to life

[@ramwinter2622]

It was scary to watch at the time. Given what happened to Marc Vivien Foe and Fabrice Muamba previously. One battled through and tragically the other didn’t.

[@lonely_adolescent2715]

Remember watching the squad standing around Eriksen, shielding him from any onlookers. Had tears in my eyes, but I'll never forget how terrifying of a sight it was

[@Vizeh]

Easy to forget how bad it was honestly

[@gekkiethegecko]

I tuned in when he collapsed

[@ManUnited553]

I remember crying at this scene on bbc1 when he was on the ground, now he plays for man united and he is playing at the best. So much love for u christian erikson

[@rishabh3150]

As a united fan, I'm so happy we gave him a chance to return to the highest level again.. and he has equally paid us back by being one of the vital cogs in our midfield whilst building attacks.. he is so effortless and composed and makes the game look easy.. on top of being such a good player, he is far above as a person.. so humble and calm.. it still haunts me when thinking that we easily could've lost one of the biggest stars in world football on that horrible day..

[@Vizeh]

In fairness he was at the highest level with Premier League football at Brentford but I understand what you mean, he's a great person!

[@redbee053]

@@Vizeh bit biased but i agree he was doing pretty good at brentford, and that brentford kinda gave him the chance first...

Eriksen gladly recovered and is back at top level at united. What a story.

[@Vizeh]

That's the most under-rated thing, if he came back to football even had a lower level that'll be incredible, but to play at the highest level possible still is insane

[@f1clips44]

[@J_Neptun3]

I was watching the game with my mum and missed the initial incident. After rewinding I realised what had happened. Me and my mom were both on the verge of tears and were screaming at the tv for him to be okay. When we found out he was okay we just hugged each other and said we loved one another. Seeing him play for my team, United, brings a smile to my face and a tear in my eye. This was an awful day for football in the modern day.

[@ilooodesigns8617]

I'm danish. The best moment was the 10th minute against Belgium. I remember crying. Ball kicked out of play. Every single person in the stadium standing up and clapping. And also in the Finland game afterwards. Danish fans shouting "Christian" and the Finnish responding "Eriksen"

[@animamaster]

What I hated the most about this incident was how they kept filming while they tried to resuscitate him. They should've cut the feed and given us updates about him instead of showing us how distraught everyone was including his girlfriend who was crying

[@Vizeh]

Went into that, absolutely it was UEFA that continue the footage but really still would've thought they could've cut to the studio.

[@999bucksfireresponse]

@@Vizeh I do agree that the filming was awful, but it is also really hard to put presenters on the spot after seeing something like that, because what do they talk about? They probably should have cut to a different programme or something.

[@MassiveOl]

The only time I ever felt bad for supporting England was that semi final, that Danish team deserved so much

[@matthiasw8777]

It was the first game I watched live with friends and I just remember how silent the public viewing got. I don't think I've ever been that terrified watching anything. And what a return by Eriksen, it is an actual miracle of a return.

[@portsmouthpiratessoftballc9727]

Fabrice muamba incident for Bolton was absolutely horrible too.

[@theravingtimes9582]

I still remember that very day, I was trying to piece together what was going on thinking it was something like an ACL tear at the worst. Eventually I found out that Eriksen’s situation was dire and went into more detail posting about the situation within the crowd as opposed to the pitch. Once the halftime whistle blew, I concluded that the match would be suspended and went for a jog to get my mind off the situation. Once I got out of the shower, I was equally shocked as I was perplexed to find out that match resumed while I was cutoff from social media. My biggest takeaway was the abysmal state of the result for both Denmark and Finland, since it was a historical win for the latter that will forever be marred by what nearly became a tragedy. In the end, we almost got the perfect ending since nobody had a predicted that Denmark would’ve been a goal shy of the Euro Cup Final, especially when they entered the final match of the group stage against Russia.

[@Vizeh]

How the Denmark team bounced back in the way they did was extraordinary

[@tobygrantham7215]

It truly is one of those moments where you remember exactly where you were and what you were doing. I was working at my local pub and the game was on tv, looked up as I was taking a break to clean an empty glass and saw him stumble and fall. Watching a person essentially die in front of you with the world also watching is horrifying, it was awful to watch but I’m so so glad he made a full recovery.

[@mindedsinger2823]

Also cant forget the Finnish they paid respect to ericksen and showed support

[@joelkivisto]

As a Finnish fan I remember watching the game live with a big friend group at my place and the whole situation was just horrible. We really respect our scandinavian brothers so it was terrifying.

[@antonjrgensen5750]

As a danish man myself im so happy he’s back playing football. We where so close to get to the final. It was some special tournament❤

[@Cbfbxvzg]

Englishman here. Even if I think we overall played better then you that game, and probably deserved to win, I wish it wasn’t like that.

[@issan7]

I was watching eating chicken tenders and then I saw Eriksen just randomly drop to the floor and I didnt think much of it. I wondered why it was taking so long to handle the situation until I saw them giving him compressions and his teammates turning around holding their heads and then my mouth dropped. I dropped the chicken tenders and I literally got sick watching it happen. My chest was burning for the next few months after that. I never really recovered from that

[@randycooper1056]

It is still insane to see how he has come back

[@vicpersonal1642]

I have a newfound respect for not only Eriksen, but the whole Denmark 🇩🇰 national team. What a way to show respect to your fallen brother. What a bunch of lads

[@Vizeh]

I think everyone had a soft spot for them now

[@danielmee3938]

I know it was a long time ago now but I had flashbacks to when Muamba collapsed at White Hart Lane. He never played again and unfortunately Bolton got relegated. Now he’s a legend at the club.

I ran in and turned on the TV. Was just minutes after the incident… What a horrible day and what a cruelty by UEFA to demand everyone to go back to the pitch.. Show must go on…

[@e_eyster]

I think this is one of those moments in life where you will never forget exactly where you were watching the game when it happened, or exactly when and where you heard about what was going on.

[@Lilleh__]

I remember the match was on tv in the main living room in my home, I'd just finished eating dinner while watching smth on the tv in the other living room, I saw Eriksen receiving treatment and the Danish players forming a ring around him, asked my dad what was going on and he told me he'd collapsed while running to receive the ball. That was genuinely terrifying to see happen, I did go out for a walk, not to distract myself from it, but bc I was bored of staying at home, although I came running back earlier than I expected bc it started raining. I'd later find out it was cardiac arrest and was hugely relieved to hear that he was alive and recovering in a hospital.

[@Lilleh__]

This is smth you never want to see happen, especially in a football match being watched live in the stadium by thousands and on tv around the world by millions. Can't believe its already been 2yrs since this happened.

[@peeper2070]

I will never forget those 40 minutes where no-one knew whether Eriksen was still on this Earth with us. With everyone in the stadium chanting Eriksen’s name

[@lwandomadikizela2213]

I will never forget that image. Eriksen collapsed from cardiac arrest and if not for Kjaer and Denmark quick thinking, Eriksen wouldn't even be alive and still playing today. I take my hat off of respect and appreciation for Denmark not only saving the life of their own but to have the courage to finish the game. There are far more important things in life than football.

[@aaronsaju24]

The match shouldn’t have carried on and should’ve been a draw for both teams as well as halting the tournament until an update was there for Eriksen. I’m glad he’s still playing and I wish the best for him going forward!

[@the9thof13]

This day was full of emotion, the way they chanted his name from both sides

[@amrupac]

I still remember that day, I was eating late lunch and was watching some football besides it, I was looking at the screen at that moment since Denmark was pushing more and more when it suddenly happened. I was thinking it’s something with the knees or somewhere else in the legs (or he was just slipping) but as I saw he wasn’t moving I knew there is something going on. And I was taken by the courage of the players and even the support of the fans. This was one of the moments that show us how vulnerable we all are and thar football is more than just a sport

[@benivokcso9649]

I vividly remember that day. I was sitting on the chair in the living room and from our family i was the first one to realize what had happened and i was dead in my soul because he was my favorite player at Inter and when i heard the news that he was okay i screamed at the top of my lung and burst into tears of happiness

[@jcshades3]

I remember being on my way to a wedding that day. I was curious how the gaming was going. Tuned in to an empty pitch wondering what happened. Remember frantically checking for news. Sucked how Denmark went out but overall impressive performance on and off the pitch by the players

[@withoutborders2023]

I remember this vividly, I was recording some kind of music video before and tuned into the game to find Eriksen already laying there. I probably went through all 5 stages of grief at the time: This can't be happening. Oh God tell me it's just a nightmare. He's got to be ok, there is no other way. I'm very very happy he made a full recovery and I cheered on Denmark through their entire campaign cause they weren't just playing for themselves now. They were playing for *him*

[@GoGators]

I remember my family visiting some friends in Atlanta and we were eating at Tacomac when we got the news (this was also before I got into football) I still felt devastated about the event but thank goodness he’s okay now

[@phoenixrising1992]

There were quite a few times when I go back to watch the highlights of one game in particular in Euro 2020 for Denmark, the one against Russia. Not only did Denmark beat them, they ripped the Russians apart, and had England not played them in the semi final, they would be worthy finalists given what has happened and everyone they were fighting for. A case of, "If not England, I'd happily take Denmark."

[@sahiblindberg]

I'm from Finland. I remember how we watched the game at my friend's birthday party. Everyone was having such a good time, the day was historical after all. Our first major tournament started that day! However, when we saw Eriksen on the ground shaking and being revived, damn. The whole party went quiet. Few people, me including, sobbed a little. The excitement about Finland being in the Euros vanished in a blink of an eye. We just wanted Christian to be okay. Later we luckily got the good news, and we even won a match and got to experience some of that sweet, but utterly useless hope to qualify further in the tournament. What a rollercoaster of emotions that day was. Ps. Later that year my friend who's birthday we were celebrating traveled to Copenhagen with a couple of her friends. She met some Danish dudes there at the bar and as a banter told them that Eriksen ruined her birthday. Everyone laughed because you know, he was okay after all :)

[@PataMuncher]

*I was listening to this match on the BBC iPlayer and this genuinely brought back memories of what happened to Fabrice Muamba back in 2012. I’m glad Eriksen is back to playing again (I remember literally doing the sign of the cross after hearing that he was going to be okay) but what the hell were the BBC thinking showing everything that was going on rather than cutting back to the studio straight away. Also the match should have been rescheduled for a different day (Like they did with the Bolton-Tottenham match after Muamba collapsed) rather than continuing just 90 minutes after what happened.*

I remember where I was watching this, was in the pub with a mate For a few minutes, me and everyone in the pub didn't know what was happening and suddenly in the space of a few seconds it suddenly clicked with everyone and myself what was happening and the whole pub went deathly silent, it was so eerie and unsettling Even watching it in the pub with my mate we were debating how the BBC were showing more coverage of what was happening than they should have. The mentality in Motorsport coverage is you don't show what happened/what is happening until you know the person involved is ok. I don't buy the UEFA controlled the coverage argument, they could have cut away whenever they wanted, but didn't. But to the BBC's credit, when it eventually went to those in the studio, the discussion amongst the pundits was superb and incredibly tactful The game should never have gone ahead that night and if possible been moved to be the final game of the group stage instead and special treatment be given towards it. I know the idea is final group games kick off at the same time but considering what happened. Just having Denmark and Finland face eachother at a later date with what happened is surely ok When Eriksen returned playing for Brentford I'll never forget the reception given

I am a finn and was naturally supporting my home country. I was horrified by the fact that I saw all of these and that camera operators continued zooming and pointing towards Eriksen.
