Why Football Happens Ep#6: Instant Reactions - Denmark v Finland - a podcast by WFH Podcast

Football fans across the globe witnessed a near-tragedy on the second day of Euro 2020 as Denmark talisman Christian Eriksen collapsed to the floor just before halftime in his sides opening game against Finland. 

Broadcasting expert Ben Jacobs gave us the rundown on what happened and what should have happened for a television broadcast in these unexpected moments before discussing if what we saw as an audience was acceptable. 

Did we see too much? Who decides to broadcast that? Is there a protocol for this? What should have happened? Should the game have continued? As well as the broader consequences of this in football.
