Christian Eriksen

[Syn_13]

I'm very much a man that believes in science and nature as opposed to religion and a greater being so I was annoyed that the first thing I did yesterday was appeal to God to save Eriksen. Is it just early childhood indoctrination that makes you do that? Medical science, basic life support and advanced life support saved him, nothing else or supernatural, and I know that. What a weird day.

I don't want to open up a whole theological debate, but even I use the phrases "please god" or "thanks god", but I've always seen it as something indoctrinated since childhood as I grew up in a religious Catholic family. I hold no real weight into it, its like saying "go to hell" or "damn you" when I dont believe in hell. You'd find people of other religious backgrounds saying "gods" plural depending on their faith.

My personal truth is that there is no god, only science, but of course I can't be certain. Most incidents like that often leave me scratching my head wondering why people thank god for his recovery or say how the people brought him back by the will of god, when to me if there is a god I can't understand why our bodies would be designed in such a flawed way or why he/she/it would let this happen. Clearly to me the god of classical theism either doesn't exist or is flawed. Perhaps there's a creator with limited powers. I don't know and I don't really care as it doesn't factor in my every day life. My maxim for life is just not to be a dick to others and treat people fairly without prejudice. I don't need religion to tell me or scare me into this with threats of eternal damnation. Anyway, this is purely my opinion and of course I may be wrong. I'm Not going to try to force people to seeing it my way as taking faith away from others is a dick move. People are entitled to their beliefs and may think I'm completely wrong, and that's fair enough. I think that's about as much as I'll day on this topic as its not the thread for it. All I hope is that Christian recovers well and goes on to live a full and happy life.

Adult Sudden Death Syndrome (umbrella term) can be caused by many things. Arrhythmia (irregular heartbeat) being one, others include virus of the sac surrounding the heart or in my Patrick’s case a blood clot to the electrical part of the heart (suspected). It’s very hard to pin down in a lot of cases, even with a post-mortem.
Saoirse is right, it urgently needs research!

If there is a silver-lining in these grim situations, it's the fact that sports-people and certainly footballers are medically monitored day-in, day-out.

Hopefully this wealth of data can be used in some way, to find a cure or prevention for this syndrome.

You can have both

Well said, yes lets not open up a theological debate. Just some snoozy Sunday thoughts.

For someone who doesn’t really believe either way, I’ve done my fair share of prayers.

No point speculating how it happened but it should bring in to focus just how much these players are having to perform now. It's been a dense season followed shortly by a tournament. They're athletes but they're still human and they need to be protected.

It should be a wake up call for the authorities, it won’t be though.

I know its secondary to his health, but it sounds like he will never be able to play again ??

Christian Eriksen unlikely to play football ever again, says cardiologist

Denmark star Christian Eriksen collapsed to the ground after a suspected heart attack during the Euro 2020 fixture with Finland - and it appears highly unlikely he will take to the pitch again

Doesn't help that a third-rate European tournament has been added to the domestic calendar!

Im both devastated and shocked to be honest

Its crazy that I wont see him play football again

It ended for him badly at spurs but I felt he was always mistreated. At uni speaking to the Sports Scientist some who work with Team GB, they were saying you have 10 years of peak physical fitness at the top level.

I always felt that under Poch alot of players just lost their legs from pressing for 3 years straight and had been run in to the ground and him particularly, sometimes was accused of being lazy or missing and yet he covered the most ground of any spurs player in 2018/19 with an average of 12.2km/90 and only missed 9 PL games out of 190 PL games for spurs in 2014-2019.

People say his head was turned but this is a guy since the age of 18 has played nonstop for spurs and Ajax whilst literally carry the weight of a nation

In the space of 12 years from the age of 17, he has played 527 games and 109 games for his country despite not turning 30.

He has played 305 games for spurs and is only a trophy away from being acknowledged as a spurs legend

For me Levy has to give some sort of role Christen and bring home.

Unfortunately I think that is from when he signed for Inter?

Is it? Oh, I was hoping it was a pic from today but I guess it's still a positive thing to post.

 

[tiger666]

People immediately taking to social media and blaming it on the vaccine.. absolute fucking scum. Makes my blood boil.

Hope we see something similar from him soon though! ?

Yeah, it's been pointed out as a picture from Inter although rather than calling it "fake", seeing as it's from his page, I'll take it as a positive sign. ?
