Day 457

  • The Denmark-Finland game has been halted with a Gathers-like incident on the pitch.  About three minutes short of the first-half whistle, Denmark's Christian Eriksen has collapsed on the pitch.  CPR has been performed.
  • The match has been suspended.  After CPR and a defibrillator, it appears Eriksen was taken from the pitch, awake and alive.
  • The match was later resumed.  Finland defeated Denmark 1-0.
  • Latest word on the 12-team CFP proposal is that it would take only the six highest conference champions in FBS -- meaning a Power 5 Conference CAN be excluded -- and would've been last year, with Oregon at #25 and Coastal Carolina at #12.
  • Twelve team and staff members of the Venezuelan national soccer team have tested positive for the coronavirus -- just one day before they are scheduled to start play tomorrow in the Copa America.
  • Late word is now stating that fourteen new members of the Venezuelan national soccer team are being shipped, last-second, to Brasilia to face Brazil tomorrow.
  • And four members of Bolivia's national team have tested positive!  They are supposed to start Monday.
