It's difficult to find accurate information on this topic since scribes don't know the difference between heart attack and cardiac arrest. If Daley Blind had a heart attack, he would not be playing now. A cardiac arrest is more dangerous but leaves the heart relatively free of damage. From what I've read, Blind had an irregular heart beat that the medics didn't pick up on. He went into cardiac arrest against Herta Berlin. At the moment Eriksen has a 20% chance of resuming his career, Barella will probably chat with him tommorow or Saturday.

Simone Inzaghi will want info as well, very different coach than Antonio Conte.
According to the Cocis 2017 protocol, someone with an ICD will not be allowed to play competitive football in Italy.

Eriksen is out of the hospital.

The English press has proclaimed the Three Lions 'all conquering football Gods' for their Earth shattering victory over the Croats. Time for the Warrior Scots to rise to the occasion.

Scotland have really taken the game to England in the first half. Have not seen England being as crap as this. Do not know why Kane is on the pitch. Like playing with ten men.
Southgate really needs to give his players some ass spanking at half time!!

The Scots gave Gareth Southgate agita.

The best chance for the English to score came when Stones made like CR7 and hit the post. I thought there would be more but they squandered their chances. That's been the partial story of the Euros, players not willing to put their bodies on the line. Burak pulled a Sburak when he did a sidewinder kick wide instead of using his head. At the very least he would have forced the Welsh keeper into making the save. Mateo Kovacic has been the biggest disappointment of the Euro, so far.

Scotland has an outside chance of advancing, the Czech Republic has goal differential.

Sad news, Gianluca Vialli has pancreatic cancer.

He was the last Juventus captain to lift the Champions Cup. He is currently part of Roberto Mancini's coaching staff.

I feel sad for Denmark and a little pissed they deserve better. Of course Damsgaard is good, he just needs to put on some weight, 21st Century baby. Denmark needs another Crazy Horse to line up with him. Classy move by de Bryne to stop any sort of celebration after he scored.
in Denmark they now call him Damsinho.

Kane lost possession every time he got the ball and runs like his boots are made out of lead. Southgate may be trying to finish second in the group to avoid having to face France / Germany / Portugal in the next round. When was the last time England beat one of those at a major tournament? 1966?

The last actual big nation England beat at a major tournament was Argentina 2002 In the group stage. The last big nation England beat in a knockout round was Spain 1996. Boggles the mind how the bookies had England as second favourites to win the whole tournament with those stats.

:eek: I was so sure France was gonna beat Hungary.... *bang head on wall*
Good for the Hunggies for fighting back against France. Sometimes shit happens and a powerful team doesn't do well. Amazing the Budapest stadium was full and nobody was wearing a mask.

Germany ass fucking another Portuguese speaking team, this could go really bad for Portugal, they stopped trying after CR7 scored. Let's see how this ends.

The Alemanni turn the Portugesh into anchovy paste, great match.

Group F is now wide open, Portugal may lose their 2016 crown.

Gosens revenge !! Gosens which plays for Atalanta asked Ronaldo for his shirt at the end the Juve- Atalanta game in April and Ronaldo without looking at him in the face said NO !!
His team pulled a prank on him and bought him a Ronaldo shirt.
I wonder why Ronaldo was such a prick.

Germany were on the front foot from the word Go. Portugal really looked fatigued as if they were partying the whole night prior to this fixture.
If Germany can keep up with this energy in all their remaining matches, then they surely will be one of the contenders for the title.

Two items that surprised about Germany/Portugal.

Pepe showing up with a bad case of feeble nuts. Where's the nastiness we've come to expect from him, Havertz challenged him all match. Who was supposed to be marking Gosens, he was unhindered by Portuguise players all match.

Sweden has the best defense, if they had their Great Zlatanissimo, they'd be favorites. How dare they censor Zlatan!

Blind thinks Eriksen could possibly play again
Blind has experience playing with an ICD, and it is his life. I think he is reckless.

A hard tackle or collision can dislocate the ICD or the wires going to the heart.

Maybe Eriksen can return to his old club Ajax. He will not be allowed to play with an ICD in Italy.
