Soccer star heart gives out during Euro’s on front of all fans

[Ja Rhule]

One of the biggest tournaments in Europe called Euro’s.  It’s like a mini World Cup for European teams only.  During the game European star Christian Eriksen had a heart attack and actually died when his heart stopped in from of full stadium.  Medics performed CPR and were able to bring him back to life.  He’s currently in stable condition at the hospital but figured I’d share how scary sports can be sometimes.  This game was Live worldwide.

That's scary.

But since it's soccer, it took everyone a good 10-15 seconds to realize anything was actually wrong since comically exaggerated flopping is so intrinsic to the game.

Im glad they were able to revive him.

Yeah, a buddy of mine was at the game. Crazy stuff.

I wonder if he has pre-existing conditions. Hard to think someone in shape like that could just have that happen. It was blazing hot, etc. You see it from time to time on high school and college basketball courts too. I'm more shocked they continued the game.

It can unfortunately happen to even healthy individuals with no pressure existing conditions.

Happened to a kid at my high school back in the day. Dribbling down the court and boom heart attack. He was 17-18 years old. Very scary stuff.

Christian is a true gentleman both on and off the pitch. What a weird comment a day after the mans heart stopped and two kids almost lost their father and a wife almost lost her husband. 

Who cares if there is flopping in soccer or not.

I assisted revving a tennis player Thursday. Thank goodness the facility had a defibrillator on site

I'm so very glad is life saved.  Apparently no pre-existing conditions from what I read.  Rumors are floating around as to what may have lead to it.

Still remember Reggie Lewis collapsing during a hornets game.  These things stick with you forever

It resumed hours after the incident occurred after they initially suspended it. He was in stable condition at the hospital by the time it resumed.

You're a stereotypical soccer-ball Yank fan and I'm here for it.

I guess if you're going to have a coronary events that venue would be ideal for being revived.
