    Couldn't believe what happened this afternoon, the news is reporting Christian is recovering in hospital, I'm hoping this is the case.

    Good luck to both teams on re-playing this evening.

    Very sad situation. Hopefully he will be ok. Sad to see his wife in so much turmoil. Not sure it is a good thing that they carry on the game but that's what they wanted to do so fair play to them and a speedy recovery to Christian Erikson. God bedring Christian.

    I don't think they would have if the news wasn't positive, I suspect Christian may have told them to play on...

    I couldn't imagine what she is going through, speedy recovery.

    I too hope he is ok. It is a reminder to cherish every moment. If a super fit young guy can go down like that, any of us can.

    So glad that the outcome was positive and not the one thousands of fans almost watched happen in front of them. Even as a Liverpool fan I liked Erikson when he was at Spurs, but have never rooted for one soccer player more in my life than I did on Saturday! Life wins and Speedy recovery Christian!

    An entertaining match between Sweden and Spain. Sweden should have put away both their chances but will equally, they should be happy with a draw. Germany v France today. That could be a great match or very boring if both sides play cautiously.

    I am also looking forward to the match, France may have a slight advantage as they have more significant individuals at the moment but Germany is alway a great team as a whole. Great match for sure.

    Enjoying the tournament so far.. even though Northern Ireland didn’t make it!

    This popped up on my phone over the weekend - 5 years ago with the GAWA in the South of France before we took on Poland in the opening game! Good times!

    There should be no need to do that. There’s football and there’s American football. Soccer is a Caribbean genre of music.

    There’s also rugby league, rugby union, and Aussie rules which are all called football here :)

    In Australia the only sport where you predominantly use your feet to kick a ball is not actually called football :confused:

    And there's Canadian football, different from American football...and not related at all to soccer.

    Good lord! I thought social distancing was suddenly over from that picture! Lol!
    Can you please explain why it's just GAWA..... why does the orange in the flag not get some representation? Or not just GA?

    Northern Ireland does not have any orange in its flag. The republic of Ireland has a separate flag and a separate national team.
