Or to forfeit the game 3-0. Just said on TS news
This is what they should have done.Sums UEFA up.
The Danes probably should have said to award the 3-0 defeat and see the backlash.
Lukaku said after the Belgium game it was difficult for him to play because his mind was away from the pitch.It just didn’t seem right that Denmark (or Finland for that matter) would want to play on 2 hours after one of their team mates effectively died on the pitch.
Can’t remember who it was, but after Eriksen had gone off a player tweeted something like “and Uefa want us to play even more games, with no regards to the players health....”Uefa couldn't give a toss about the players. Just like they made Dortmund play the next day after their bus was bombed and a player was injured.
Exactly. Even though Eriksen had apparently spoken to them before going back out there’s surely no way them players were in the right frame of mind to go and playWhen they announced the game would finish on Saturday night, I was 100% certain it was a UEFA-influenced decision.
Thought this was already common knowledge.
This was suspected by a large number of posters on Saturday evening.I suggested, on the night of the game, in the Euro 2020 thread that the teams had been made an offer they couldn’t refuse by UEFA. Cretins, as we know.

Aye the faux outrage shown by UEFA was fuking laughable,bent bastards.A few commentators did highlight the ethics of UEFA at the time of the breakaway league when they pandered to the fans with their outrage. This is an example of UEFA as well as the lack of tickets for fans in finals.
What was the reluctance to play the game the next day? A lot of the reporting on the day was that he woke whilst in hospital. But he was awake and speaking as he was wheeled off the pitch and the players were walking with him. At that point it was clear he was in recovery. I agree they shouldn’t of played an hour later but surely a nights rest and await further news on him which has continued to be positive would of sufficed. Ultimately, witnessing something like that is never going to leave you, the damage mentally is done. So, then do they withdraw themselves from the tournament due to it. I think UEFA should of insisted they have a nights rest and come back to finish the game the next day
Because they are sportsmen and they don't want to appear as weak. It's the same reason that refs and coaches stop fights, sportsmen are competitors and can't see the bigger picture at times. It's in these times they need people to act on their behalf. Continuing on the same day should never have been an option.What was the reluctance to play the game the next day?

I don’t think Finland would necessarily agreed to that. They celebrated that win with some vigourThey could simply have declared the 0-0 scoreline the final result and given both teams a few days till they played again.
Very true and well put. But how many of us will flock to Ibrox if we are allowed back in and we qualify for the CL? Just fuelling their greed but using it watching Glasgow Rangers play on the big stage?This was suspected by a large number of posters on Saturday evening.
Others said surely even UEFA couldn`t stoop that low?
Here`s the answer.
No feeling for the players, or supporters who had witnessed a tragedy unfolding before their eyes;(thankfully averted by the brilliance of the medics).
For UEFA, Christian Eriksen was an inconvenience; for nothing must stop their money making machine.
UEFA stink the place out.
honestly UEFA should have built in some padding game days, especially due to covid
I can understand that but he was awake and alert. As I say the damage mentally is done witnessing such a thing. When should they of played the game? Cos any decision impacts on the other team and their recovery and prep for the next game.Denmark players said there was no point waiting to play it the next day as they wouldn't have slept anyway.
but on here its dont sing the billy boysSums UEFA up.
