After Christian Eriksen collapsed onto the pitch during the EURO 2020 Group B game between Finland and Denmark, both countries' fans and players came together to display perfect sportsmanship. As panic ensued throughout the stadium and no one knew what was happening, the moment quickly became bigger than football.
Cristiano Ronaldo caught the world's attention this Monday, off the field. The Portuguese superstar had a surprising gesture before Portugal's press conference at the Euros. Ronaldo took two bottles of the famous brand Coca-Cola off the table and put a bottle of water in their place. Then, he said, "drink water!" in front of the cameras.

UEFA has opened an investigation into Austria forward Marko Arnautovic's goal celebration in their opening match of the Euros against North Macedonia, European soccer's governing body said on Tuesday.
North Macedonia urged UEFA to look into Arnautovic's reaction after he scored in the 89th minute to complete Austria's 3-1 win on Sunday.
La amargura y la frustración nuevamente se apoderaron de Lionel Messi. El extraterrestre hizo casi todo bien, incluido un golazo de tiro libre, pero al final Argentina terminó igualando 1-1 ante una selección de Chile que, en los últimos seis años, se ha convertido en una incomodísima piedra en el zapato para la Albiceleste.
Ambas selecciones abrieron el Grupo A de la Copa América, en un duelo que comenzó con un luminoso homenaje a Diego Maradona, fallecido en noviembre de 2020.
¡Eterno el D10S!
Countless soccer fans across the U.S. are paying close attention to Euro 2020, taking place across Europe this month. But let this be a reminder: 2021 Copa América is also going on right now in Brazil, and it’s every bit as entertaining (if not more so) as the Euros. Don’t believe me? Check out the delicious Lionel Messi free kick vs Chile from Argentina’s thrilling 1-1 draw on Monday.
Eslovaquia fue responsable de una de las primeras sorpresas de la Euro 2020. La victoria por 2-1 sobre Polonia seguro decepcionó a varios que pronosticaron el resultado opuesto, entre ellos el gato Aquiles, oráculo animal del torneo.
El felino pertenece al Museo Hermitage de San Petersburgo, en Rusia, y hasta hoy llevaba un cien por ciento de efectividad en sus predicciones. Le había acertado al triunfo de Italia sobre Turquía y el de Bélgica sobre Rusia.
Este lunes, en un partido que normalmente llama poco la atención mundial, como lo es un Escocia vs República Checa (seamos honestos), ha ocurrido quizás el mejor gol de la Euro 2020, uno que es raro de ver en torneos de alto nivel.
Spain absolutely dominated Sweden on Monday. With 85 percent possession, I had nearly as many touches as Sweden’s attackers. And yet, striker Marcus Berg nearly stole a win with one of his team’s few forays forward. Instead, he scuffed his chance, and teammate Emil Forsberg’s theatric reaction summed up the feelings of a nation who for a half second believed they might take down the three-time European champion.
Milan Škriniar is not yet a household name in America, outside of the few households who value Serie A or Slovakian football. After Monday’s performance against Poland, expect the rest of the world to take notice that he is one of the best center backs in the Europe right now.
We have just witnessed one of the greatest goals ever scored at the European championship. The second Patrik Schick goal vs Scotland, launched from just within the midfield line, was the type of goal that will be replayed for decades to come, especially in the Czech Republic.
Schick opened the scoring in the Group D match on Monday with a glancing header a few minutes before halftime. Seven minutes into the second half, he doubled his and his country’s tally in spectacular fashion, spotting David Marshall off his line and perfectly lobbing the keeper from midfield.
