    Hate this micro analysing of things to try and point out who did things better.

    Danish football are saying it could restart in 30 minutes.

    All seems a bit strange. Is it normal to be okay that quickly after something like that happening?

    Knowing that he's fine and, according to his agent, talking will have made them feel a lot better.

    Man, I figured there would be more. There was a clash of heads that took a few minutes, wasn't there?

    Can only be thankful that it’s happened on the pitch and not in his hotel room or something. I’m shocked the match is being restarted, though. The players can’t be in the right frame of mind surely.

    With no prior knowledge, I heard the radio news begin with 'The Danish Football Association...' and thought shit, someone's dead.

    Thankfully seems not.

    You’re definitely soft, but I’m with you here. Maybe this has given them a vast supply of adrenaline.

    They are much much less squeamish then us over there. Probably explains the cameras somewhat and also starting the game back up

    I meant Eriksen. Him being up and talking already seems a quick turnaround.

    What happened to the commentators? I’ve got some random bloke on BBC now

    Do you know who’d have celebrated in the same situation, albeit club football, even if the opposition player had actually died? Jordan Henderson.

    1-0 Lukaku too.

    The defender attempting to clear it creates a new play apparently. But he only does that because Lukaku is there, so who the hell knows.

    It's irrelevant because as soon as the defender 'deliberately plays the ball' (which he only does because the forward is there, gaining an advantage by being offside) the attacker is no longer offside and is free to carry on. Like I said, it's the worst rule.

    It's a shit rule. It should have been ruled out as should that City goal against Villa.

    Also, Zhirkov still starting for Russia is mental.

    Presumably if you completely fuck the attempted clearance up, to the extent that you miss the ball, the offside rule saves you, which just shows how stupid it is.

    Ruud van Nistelrooy would have broken Shearer’s record if the rule was always that.

    Watching it again, the goalscorer's ecstatic for a couple of seconds and then he suddenly remembers he shouldn't be celebrating so much.

    I don't know what Denmark expected to happen there.

    ITV asking people to text the word “footy” to enter their competition should see them dissolved completely from being on TV ever again.

    Lukaku doesn't just look like a different player to a year and a half ago, he looks like a different human being. He must be 20kg lighter.

    The stuff about an undiscovered digestive problem strikes me as code for Antonio Conte sitting him down and telling him he made him sick.

    yeah I absolutely was thinking that too... was just such a sad state of affairs to watch Denmark for the rest of that game. Who the fuck thought that would be ok. When you get shocked like that, all your adrenaline etc comes rushing. Then imagine sitting waiting in a dressing room worried for about 1hr and all that adrenaline goes away...

    They're doubling down to the point of appropriating actual anti-slavery imagery ('traced back as far as the 18th century') to protest generalities, which apparently didn't concern them until recently, and seemingly committing themselves to doing so forever. It's idiotic, but professional footballers pushing it is borderline obscene.
