Yeah, it is happening alright. I am not interested in football (soccer). I am an ice hockey dude. However, i got bored yesterday and Finland made it's first appearance in a major tournament, Ever. Playing against Denmark in Copenhagen. And it was... well, i am not sure if profanity is allowed here but it was awful, horrifying and a total mess.
I used to watch some English premier league back in the nineties, on Saturdays with my grandfather. I know the rules, and i know that strange stuff can happen but... no... Okay, so i got a bit high, and started watching the game. The first half was almost over... A Danish player slowly walks towards the sideline to make a throw-in. And collapses right there. Dropped there, like a rock. I was like hmmm... maybe there is serious heat in Copenhagen and the fellow is back on his feet in no time... Nope. They brought curtains and stuff to block the view... Finnish fans offered their flags and some of them were also used to block the view as the medical personnel tried to revive him... Audience of like 25 k or so, totally silent. I was so so scared that i thought i am going to vomit. They took the player to the hospital, stable condition, and able to talk a bit. Game was stopped for an hour or so. It was the collapsed player's wish that the game will continue as soon as possible, not today (Sunday).
So, due to my home country: GO FINLAND!
And due to this absolute horror scene: GO DENMARK!
