Denmark, Belgium Pay Tribute to Christian Eriksen at Euro 2020

Christian Eriksen is front-and-center in the minds of all around the footballing world, but especially in Copenhagen, where he's recovering from cardiac arrest at a hospital down the road from where his Denmark is facing Belgium in the teams' second group game of Euro 2020.

The scenes from Saturday's horrifying collapse and near-death experience are still fresh, with Eriksen needing to be resuscitated on the field at the end of the first half of Denmark's 1-0 loss to Finland in the Danish capital.
