In that fantasy league, you get points when your players get COVID.FYI, I started up a thread for Copa America. Given how active this one is thought it should be separated: https://forums.footballguys.com/topic/797699--2021-copa-américa-
I started Simon Kjær today - feels like he should get a bonus 100 points for saving a life.
God, I’m sick. No words.
He is alive, yes. OK? We have no facts on that at all.
I’m finally all caught up - I could not believe they didn’t cut away and not only showed the chest compressions but then the defibrillator coming out and him being shocked. Thankfully Ekoku finally said something about how they shouldn’t be watching that. I don’t really think ESPN knew what to do. The whole thing was just horrible to watch. And I had the opportunity to immediately search and make sure he was ok since I was watching so delayed. I was choked up telling me wife about it because I literally thought he died on the field.
Yeah - apologies if I offended anyone. I recorded all 3 matches while I was at my sons basketball games. I didn’t want to find out the scores so posted without reading anything. Just so happy he seems to be ok.
Understand that ESPN has no control over what is shown on the world feed. But presumably, they could have stopped showing the feed and cut to studio.
Definitely was complicated and ultimately I can't say they made the wrong decision as I'm not sure there is a right one. But my thinking is no matter what the players said there was no way they were going to be mentally in to that game. Even a nights rest to get the emotions somewhat under control would have been beneficial, IMO. Now the timing of the next match for Finland was going to be tough - they have to go to St. Petersburg to face Russia so pushing their travel back a day was maybe a factor too as they play on Wednesday. I think they should have pushed it to tomorrow and pushed the Finland - Russia match back a day too.
Good luckI’ve got 3 wagers tomorrow
England -157
Ukraine +522
Croatia/Eng over 2.5
According to reports, the entire Danish team was able to zoom with CE and CE told them to play on from the hospital.
Most of them are Putin puppets so they won't. Plus if any of these guys did that they might get death threats or kicked off the national team. Different situations for different cultures
Getting tested at the hospital. Seemed fine. Facetimed the team and told him he was fine and go play. WhatsApp chat with Inter as well according to their CEO and his agent said he was fine and in stable condition

Agree on LB. Grealish most creative - possibly but he's been injured so I'm assuming it has to do with that. Has Trippier been playing on the left for his club (drawing a blank where he's at now).
No news is good news as far as him leading a healthy life like a "normal" person.culdeus said:
Oh, that team. You know - maybe Atletico's toughness will move through the England squad through osmosis.
One thing that is promising for his overall health is one of the medical people said that when they got there he was breathing and had a pulse and only after they got there did things go south. Meaning - they were able to immediately start CPR. As I think gian pointed out - there was like a minute and a half between him going down and them starting CPR so there was concern what damage had been done. But sounds like instead it was mere seconds. Continued prayers for Cristian.
Sancho and Chilwell did not make the bench - or are you talking in terms of starters?
would be a good drinking game
He’s been battling injuries and hasn’t been in great form. Sterling and Foden are a formidable duo - as Foden hits the post.
When you dislike the "Stockport Messi" nickname, so you instantly change it to "Stockport Gazza."
