Denmark shouldn't have been forced to continue the game against Finland on the day of the collapse.
They probably would have beaten Finland a few days later given subsequent results.
They got the choice to play the next day, which they definitely should have taken.

Ueffa could have made it fair and deemed the match a draw. They had 45 minutes played.
Playing later that night they were obviously going to be affected

Absolutely. Seeing that is bound to have a huge effect on the players state of mind, we've seen numerous times when players have suffered nasty leg breaks how it has impacted team mate, obviously what happened Eriksen was on a whole other level!

Everton should have had Dumfries signature in the bag before this tournament. He's either going to cost a lot more or f**k off to Real Madrid or the likes..

The game had to be finished, there is no option in the regulations to deem an abandoned game a draw. The Danes would have been in a much better shape (relatively speaking)  to finish out the game the next day. And hypothetically if the Danes had been offered a draw instead of playing out the game on Sunday, what do think they would have chosen?
For some bizzare reason the players  foolishly decided to finish the game on Saturday. Their FA, doctors, psychologists, mentors, should have intervened and guided the players to a more sensible decision.  UEFA had offered a choice of schedule without prejudice.

This is my reasoning behind them agreeing to finish the game that night. Not knowing the fate of Erikson once he had spoken to them at the hospital or if he would pass away over night, I am sure they didnt want to take the risk of having to play the game the next day knowing he had passed away as the only other option after that was to forfeit the game 3 nil. The players having seen that he was awake at the hospital shortly before they restarted the game would have felt more at ease to finish the match there and then. Just my take on things

The circumstances of the abandonment were very particular and very emotional. A player briefly died. The rules were designed for other stuff.

Then maybe they should redraw the rules. If they have no sympathy for a players health then it doesn't say much.

Did they not make France and Cameroon play 2 or 3 days after Marc Vivien Foe died? Both sets of players were visibly upset. No compassion at all, from FIFA

How over rated are England. Again. They will probably win this match mind you.

England look like they need Grealish. Who do they take off though?
