Bojan Djordjic emotional speech at half-time of Belgium-Sweden
He said this before they announced the game was suspened.
Say what you want about Bojan, but he is a passionate man that isn't afraid to speak his opinion
What's the context here, only know of him from his ISL time.
Translation: There is not only a darkness in Sweden, Europe, the world. I'm holding back tears, we are talking about a game, a game. I love this game, but this life means everything and so much more. Two of our countrymen killed in cold-blood in the streets of Brussels. And we're supposed to play for another 45 minutes? The security, it's about 45 min, an hour. Let these fantastoc swedish supporters stay in the arena, keep the police on high alert, and get them safely to their hotels.
Do you think a swedish national player wants to go out and play another 45 minutes with this information? Who do we kid? We suspend games for empty plastic cups thrown. And we're supposed to play football? I love football, but please, it's not priority 1, 2 or 3 right now. We are talking about reality, Fredrik. Honestly, do you guys even want to be on the air right now, to talk about football? It's a darkness, it's not o ly our society it's everything, it's all messed up. I'm holding back tears.
I may not always agree with Bojan, but I love him for saying this. The fact that UEFA wanted to continue this match is nothing short of shameful.
You are talking about an organization that forced a team to play immediately after one of their players had a near-death experience on the pitch.
