June 12, 20214 yr So awful. What the fuck is it about soccer that makes it so much more likely for guys to die on the pitch? Seems like it happens way more than in really any other sport. I honestly thought them going to 5 subs was a step in helping get away from those/these types of events.
June 12, 20214 yr This is the worst thing I’ve ever seen in sports. T&P for Christian and his family.
June 12, 20214 yr Shit. What happened? A head injury or did he just randomly collapse?Sent from my SM-G950U1 using Tapatalk

June 12, 20214 yr i did see him spasm with his arms as they were giving CPR early on. i hope there was still life there.
June 12, 20214 yr reminds me a lot of when Rich Peverley died on the Stars bench and they revived him in the tunnel. Holy shit, hope he pulls through.
June 12, 20214 yr No no contact, he made a long run peeled off as the ball was cleared, started slowly stumbling and collapsed.
June 12, 20214 yr Hank Gathers is the only thing that comes to mind but I don't think I was watching at the time. This is one of the worst things I've ever witnessed.
June 12, 20214 yr holy shit, how fucking tragic. hope he pulls through. i can't even. those scenes of his girl there on the sideline. my god.
June 12, 20214 yr This happened recently with a Florida or Florida State basketball player I think but he was quickly revived and got through it just fine. Doesn't seem like this was a quick resuscitation if one at all. Russell Westbrook had a teammate in high school collapse and die. Seems like basketball and soccer are the worst offenders.

June 12, 20214 yr Was just receiving a throw in. Nothing out of the ordinary. He just collapsed. Edit* - class move by his teammates to try to block the cameras. And to Schmeichel and Kjaer. Edited June 12, 20214 yr by GlenFromTheMailRoom
June 12, 20214 yr Author Was just receiving a throw in. Nothing out of the ordinary. He just collapsed. Ive been bugging my kids to watch the game. Glad they didn’t agree.

June 12, 20214 yr Just now, GlenFromTheMailRoom said: Dude, shut the fuck up with the arm chair diagnosis. Stuff like this is not hard to diagnose and what he mentioned is easily the most likely offender. What do you think it was, terminal pancreatic cancer?
June 12, 20214 yr 5 minutes ago, The Maestro said: do athletes at this level all get echos for hypertrophic cardiomyopathy? Was reading on reddit and apparently it's hard to detect in athletes because the muscle is so developed already.

Did I say that? Why try to sit there and postulate what happened versus just hoping for the best for the player?

Why is everyone like this whenever something tragic happens? We'd like to know why it happened and this forum is for discussing things. It's a valid question. My MA advisor died suddenly when a pulmonary embolism burst while on a ladder in the archives in Italy reaching for a book. We all wanted to know why it happened.

June 12, 20214 yr Just came to post that. Whew at least he was awake again. Hope he pulls through this
June 12, 20214 yr Started a little late and was just getting caught up...Holy shit. So glad to see that tweet above.
June 12, 20214 yr That pic of Eriksen alert just sent a wave of relief through me like a hit of Narcan. LETS FUCKIN GOOOOO 🇩🇰
June 12, 20214 yr 9 minutes ago, mdmost said: Hopefully everything turns out fine. That shit was terrifying, I mean, I got nauseous watching that. I don’t think I’ve ever seen something like that. Can’t imagine how his family and teammates were feeling. Prayers.
June 12, 20214 yr UEFA has released "has been stabilised", but the broadcast teams aren't saying a word? Edit - they just mentioned it. Edited June 12, 20214 yr by RamjetFDO
June 12, 20214 yr 21 minutes ago, The Maestro said: do athletes at this level all get echos for hypertrophic cardiomyopathy? It is not a universal policy, no. But there is some merit to screening. Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) is reported historically as the most common cause of SCD in athletes younger than 35 years of age. (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6223355/) Usually if someone has a past or family history of HCM (or HOCM) then you screen with echocardiograms.

June 12, 20214 yr Man I'm beaming over here. Hope he wasn't out for too long, but he looks relatively alert.

I can't imagine him not going through every screening and test possible over that last 10 years.
