Good luck, but the Danes arent push-overs, I think thats going to be a good, even match.

Side note: I love the 5 substitute rule for short international tournaments.
These guys are playing in congested schedules after what are long and crowded seasons now. Keeping them as fresh as possible and healthy is best for the quality of the tournament.
Don’t like it for domestic leagues or clubs, gives too much of an advantage for the richer and deeper clubs. But for an international tournament I like it

Finns are the clear underdogs in every game and not expected to make it out of the group phase. That said, the Finnish team is absolutely capable of upsetting stronger squads.
I don't really care though, being in these games IS the price, it's a day I for a long time felt would never come, and I'm going to enjoy every game regardless of the result.
I also trust that the team will give a good fight in every game, which is a nice feeling, and not something at all guaranteed from Huuhkajat a few years back.

I imagine this is how I'll feel seeing Canada back in a World Cup. To hear your anthem in a major tournament is something special.

What exactly happened? It looks like he headed the ball and just went down? Seems like an odd injury on a very straightforward play.

Match suspended until further notice due to medical emergency of Eriksen
I heard a little applause, but can't see anything. Is he breathing on his own at least?

Had to be a heart attack or a stroke, body just went limp, utterly horrifying.

They were holding up sheets as they moved the stretcher. Not sure if it is a soccer thing though. Tough to catch what it was.
Please pull through.

I really hope it's because they got him breathing on his own, but that was not encouraging.

There was an air mask on his face, but who knows if that means anything.
