COPENHAGEN, Denmark -- Ulrich Ammundsen was stunned and confused about what he had seen and what he was feeling and what he was supposed to do. Christian Eriksen, the star player for Denmark, had collapsed on the field just before halftime of the team's game against Finland. Watching from the stands, Ammundsen saw the player crumple, saw him looking limp, saw his teammates circle around him as the medics pushed on his chest.
When Ammundsen arrived home here very late last Saturday night, he found himself staring into his bathroom mirror, unable to process what had happened a few hours earlier.
