Such a bloody shame the fans aren't in the stadium, too. The place would be booming with the Welsh lot in there. Think something like 50 or so travelled for the game. :cry:

But as I type they're back in it!!! :dance:

Edit: Just read that 300 fans made the journey (country being on the amber list it was discouraged).

Well, it's the first "Full Game" of the round ball game I''ve watched for several years - but I'm Welsh, and it's the national side.

For much of the match I know why I dislike the sport!! Players feigning injury - with a remarkable recovery minutes later. The Swiss No. 7 and goalscorer (can't be arsed looking up his name) being a classic example.

Seems Wales were lucky with the draw, but we're still whith a good chance of making it to the next stage....

I'm now onto the rugby!! :D :thumb: [EDIT] Meaning the games I've recorded, nothing against the round ball game..!!

:cheers: :cheers:

Don't think this game can continue. Absolutely heartbreaking. Prayers for Eriksen right now. :cry: :cry: :cry:

That is shocking, you'd never want this kind of thing happen, not alone witness it. Let's hope he recovers but this is a dark shadow over the whole event.

That is by far the most distressing thing I've ever witnessed in my life. I'm proper shook up. BBC should have cut the footage as soon as the cpr started. Just can't believe it.

His eyes were open and he touched his forehead with his hand when he was taken away.

That's great news, that. Hoping he's going to be ok.

Jesus H, hope the guy is OK. Incredibly distressing.

As you say Lost - BBC should have cut coverage, it wasn't just CPR, but obvious use of a Defibrillator - certainly not a good sign. What the hell happened, he just dropped.....

Hopes and prayers with him and his family.

I don't think, it was BBC as I was watching it via a Finnish TV and they showed it there, too.
