Danish soccer player in stable condition after collapsing during Euro 2020 match against Finland

(CNN)Denmark star Christian Eriksen was reported to be in a stable condition after collapsing during the first half of Denmark's opening Euro 2020 match against Finland in Copenhagen.

The match was suspended following prolonged efforts from the medical staff to resuscitate Eriksen with CPR and a defibrillator after he fell to the ground during a throw-in, shortly before the end of the first half.

"Following the medical emergency involving Denmark's player Christian Eriksen, a crisis meeting has taken place with both teams and match officials and further information will be communicated at 19:45 CET," European football's ruling body UEFA said in a statement on Twitter.

"The player has been transferred to the hospital and has been stabilised."

'Loki' Debut Tops 'WandaVision' And 'Falcon And The Winter Soldier'

oki has reportedly beaten out WandaVision and The Falcon and The Winter Soldier in its debut on Disney Plus.

Since the debut of The Mandalorian, Disney Plus has proven itself to be a force to be reckoned with in the streaming industry, with subscription numbers beating out all expectations. Earlier this year, both WandaVision and The Falcon and The Winter Soldier both became big hits for the platform with the latter becoming the first Disney Plus series to top Nielsen’s streaming charts. But now it appears that Loki may be beating out both of these series.

According to a new report, the debut of Loki on Disney Plus has beaten out both WandaVision and The Falcon and The Winter Soldier. WandaVision debuted with over 655,000 viewers and Falcon and The Winter Solder came in with over 759,000. Now Loki has beaten that out with a reported 890,000 views. The report sites SambaTV as the source of this information which measures streaming viewership on 3M smart terrestrial TV households for at least five minutes. It is noted however that this did not include mobile views.

NYC-MYR: Rep. Ocasio-Cortez endorses Maya Wiley for NYC mayor

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) endorsed New York City mayoral candidate Maya Wiley on Saturday, the latest effort by the Democratic Party’s left to consolidate before the June 22 primary.

“We have an option of a candidate who can center people, racial justice, economic justice, and climate justice that didn't just come up to run for mayor, but has experience,” the congresswoman said, confirming that Wiley was her first choice in the city’s ranked-choice election. “That candidate is Maya Wiley.”

Wiley, a civil rights lawyer who previously chaired New York’s Civilian Complaint Review Board, entered the mayoral contest in October, channeling the energy of that summer’s criminal justice reform protests, and offering voters a chance to elect the city’s first female mayor.

“I don’t sound like past mayors, or look like them, or think like them,” she said in the campaign’s launch video. “That is the point.”

Multiple candidates were already competing for liberal votes. City Comptroller Scott Stringer lined up key endorsements after years of his support for liberal primary challengers, and nonprofit executive Dianne Morales offered left-wing voters the only plan by any candidate to cut the NYPD’s budget in half.
