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. 

It's not a "weird" comment. Watch the video. There's literally a good 10+ seconds before anyone reacts. What other sport would have a guy go down like he was shot by a sniper and everyone basically just stand there like, "Yep. This is totally normal."?

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.

I don’t know the details of this incident, but you sound like you are conflating a heart attack with sudden cardiac failure. Happened to my sister when she was 35. 
 

Think of it this way:

Heart attack = something wrong with the plumbing. 
Sudden cardiac death = short circuit in the wiring. 
 

Just clearing things up for ya on assumptions, as before it happened so close to home I would have been a tad ignorant in my assumptions as well. 
 

glad he’s ok.

If a player literally dies on the field and your response is “durrr soccer and flopping am I right?” maybe just poo the fug up and sit this one out.

Seconds matter in response time for life threatening incidents. He died on the field. If they hadnt been able to revive him, how much could those 15 seconds have mattered. Constant flopping prevents quick reaction by medical personnel to actual injuries because they think players are going to pop right back up just like they do 99.9% of the time. It’s the boy who cried wolf on the pitch.

Or maybe we’re seriously disturbed by a man lying on the field in obvious distress and no one reacts. So when you ask yourself why they didnt react, its pretty fugging obvious its because this sport allows it so often nobody pays attention when it happens. Im very happy they saved his life and his wife and kids didn’t lose him. Im also disturbed by the fact players falling over is seen as a joke and not potentially serious.

It took literally three seconds before an opposing player started calling for help. But you guys keep making idiots of yourselves if you feel like it.

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.

You literally can't help yourself with these horseshit comments can you? Your annoying sports broh ness has no limits.

For the mathematically challenged, take a deep breath and go ahead and count “one Mississippi, two Mississippi, three Mississippi” from the time he collapses until players start calling for help. It’s three seconds.
 

Actually quicker than when Kevin Ware snapped his shin in half and his teammates just collapsed on their knees instead of rendering medical aide, which I guess is the standard for how it should be. Maybe if basketball players stopped flopping so much there wouldn’t be as many Kevin Ware incidents. #logic

Here's praying European star Christian Eriksen will have a speedy recovery  and go forward to have good health and a long life.

This goes to show that serious health issues can occur to the best of us and that each and every day we have good health is a wonderful blessing..

I made a comment. Y'all got triggered. It happens a lot. Toughen up.

I wasn't even trying to take a shot. It was serious. The dude face planted and laid there for a decent amount of time because such occurrences are so common in that sport. That's reality. Stay mad about it.

    • Tanking in the NFL isn’t really a thing and anybody wanting to bring the rigged lottery to the NFL has an ulterior motive.
    • I understand where you're coming from, but we need another safety IMHO. Other positions, especially on defense, dont have ideal depth, but to me at least S is the one position we can't stand pat at even when thinking about the future
    • 100%. Nick Scott was awful last year. Like, even for a franchise that hasn't historically invested in that position, it stood out for how awful it was. If he sees meaningful snaps at S again we're cooked.  Maybe he has value for ST, but I certainly hope we can upgrade. Jordan Fuller, who was by all accounts an Evero guy, was almost as bad. Xavier Woods was bad, but not complete garbage. Still did not want him back. Those 3 guys seriously may have been the worst S group in the NFL. And they all were brought in, especially Fuller, as good fits for this system. Everyone knocks the defensive line, and they deserve a lot of blame, too, but so, so many times our safeties inability to tackle let 4-5 yard runs turn into 10+. And it happened over and over and over again if you watch the film. Honestly, Demani Richardson was the only S by the end of the year I remember making positive plays. I have no issue with Richardson being in the mix and/or competing to be a starter, but we still need another S desperately IMHO who has actually played meaningful snaps in the NFL. The only caveat/excuse for our secondary was the fact our pass rush was nonexistent for large stretches last year. Maybe that helps with coverage, but I dont see how that makes any of these guys better at tackling.  I know it somewhat feels like piling on at this point, but I feel 100% confident in saying this was the worst tackling team in franchise history. The 70ish yard pass play we gave up to Jamarr Chase where he ran through and past everyone in the secondary has to be up there in terms of most embarrassing plays I've ever seen. I can't imagine how embarrassed Kuechly must have been watching from the booth... I think bringing back Evero was a mistake, but for a team that has had nothing but change over the past 5 years, I'm willing to see this through. I definitely think we added significantly to the floor of this defense with the additions we made. I dont think Evero has any further excuses if he cant field a unit that can at least somewhat hold their own. Fixing the safety play is going to be a big part of that.
