Home Sweet Home: Despite UEFA's Scheduling Procedures, England Still Managed To Benefit

When I first heard UEFA's plans to not have just one host city for Euro 2020, I was intrigued and pleasantly surprised.

The idea makes sense. Spread fans out across eleven host cities, which prevents hundreds of thousands of supporters descending on one particular country or city. It mitigates the COVID-19 risks (not something that was on the minds of organizers in 2020, but is beneficial in 2021) and helps the many host countries and cities financially without giving too much home field advantage to one country — at least in theory.

England Captures Historic Victory, Neutral Fans Dread Idea Of Watching More England Games

England picked up an iconic 2-0 win against Germany in front of 40,000 fans at Wembley Stadium on Tuesday to advance to the quarterfinals.

The win was England’s first competitive victory in a knockout game against Germany since the 1966 World Cup Final.

This was also the result that every neutral fan dreaded. England deserves top marks for its defensive efforts in the tournament so far. The English defense has played four games and gone perfect with four clean sheets. But holy cow is it hard to stay awake watching the Three Lions play.

Christian Pulisic Transforms Into Florida Man To Take In Florida Derby

Christian Pulisic is living the high life this summer.

After winning the Champions League with Chelsea and Nations League with the U.S., the 22-year-old is traipsing around the country in a manner that, honestly, reminds me a bit of Johnny Manziel after he won the Heisman Trophy with Texas A&M in 2012. Pulisic broke ground on new soccer fields in his home state (the Pulisic Stomping Ground) and has appeared on national broadcasts like Good Morning America and the Daily Show.

Lukaku Hates Pineapple Pizza And More From His Twitter Q&A

Belgium forward Romelu Lukaku had fans ask him questions on Twitter and his responses display just why we love him. He replied to dozens of questions, including sharing his biggest motivation and even firing back at some haters, making this thread a must-see. As he lights up the pitch at Euro 2020, we look at the highlights from the Lukaku Q&A to get to know one of our favorite stars even more. 

Fan Brasileño Se Tatuó A Messi En La Espalda Y Messi Lo Buscó Para Autografiárselo

Mirando y mirando su feed de Instagram, en esas vacías horas de concentración durante la Copa América, Lionel Messi notó hace unos días que la cuenta del canal de televisión argentino TyC Sports destacaba el video de un aficionado brasileño que se había tatuado en la espalda una gigantesca imagen de él.

Hungary Just Passed Anti-LGBTQ+ Law — UEFA Won’t Let Germany Make Pro-LGBTQ+ Statement

UEFA has turned down a request from the mayor of Munich for the city's stadium to be lit up in rainbow colors for Wednesday's Euro 2020 match between Germany and Hungary.

Munich mayor Dieter Reiter had said he wanted to light up the stadium in the colors in protest against a new law in Hungary that bans the dissemination of content in schools deemed to promote homosexuality and gender change and restricts the media from showing content with homosexuality in programming accessible to minors.

Columbus Wins Final Match At Historic Crew Stadium By “Dos A Cero” Scoreline

Gyasi Zardes scored twice to send Historic Crew Stadium out in style when host Columbus defeated the Chicago Fire 2-0 on Saturday.

The Crew (4-2-2, 14 points) has won three straight, none more meaningful and emotional than the final game at the first soccer-specific stadium in MLS. Their $314 million Lower.com Field will be christened July 3 against the New England Revolution.

Hungary’s Desk Lady Was The Real Hero Against France

Hungary played damn well for about 80 minutes against Portugal on Tuesday only to give up three goals late. On Saturday, the once-mighty Magyars put a full 100 minutes in and held world champion France to a 1-1 draw in one of the most impressive upsets of the tournament thus far. But forget the match for a moment, because the biggest story of the game was a pitch-side reporter’s reaction to Hungary’s goal. The Hungary desk woman is our new favorite meme of Euro 2020. 

Scared Of Being Labeled Gambling, EA Sports Introduces Preview Packs To FIFA Ultimate Team

With more and more governments threatening legal action against EA Sports over the use of loot boxes (player packs) in modes like FIFA Ultimate Team, EA may have come across a workaround with FUT preview packs. Currently, FUT 21 players can preview packs before they choose to buy, which kinda sorta limits the gambling aspect of loot boxes.
