8:32 pm

8:34 pm
HarryHood

8:34 pm
welki
i can’t imagine what his mother must be going through
8:35 pm
welki
so many of these players are so young, have never seen anything like this. i feel for them
8:35 pm
HarryHood
I'm old, and have not seen anything like this

hokie carla
there was a pro soccer player in Europe last year that collapsed and had CPR on the field
8:38 pm
welki
after a hit? or spontaneously went down?
8:38 pm
welki
doesn’t matter. retract, retract.
8:39 pm
hokie carla
I think spontaneously went down
8:41 pm
welki
can only hope for the best
8:41 pm
hokie carla
yes, hoping for the best for this young man
8:42 pm
HarryHood
wow these commentators are going out on a limb
8:43 pm
HarryHood
telling them to call the game
8:44 pm
hokie carla
wow, I made another post that completely disappeared
8:44 pm
welki
they’re right. the players, the staff, the people in the stands have been traumatized. i’m sure that some are in shock. i don’t know how the players could be expected to ‘shake’ something like this off
8:45 pm
HarryHood
yes - but that's gutsy for him to say that on live tv before goodel has made the call
8:45 pm
welki
i applaud their heart
8:54 pm
HarryHood
I think they're getting ready to call it.
8:57 pm
hokie carla
