In a strictly sporting sense, the worst part of the pandemic was definitely the postponement of Euro 2020. On the one hand it deprived us of a month-long carnival of joy (the expanded 2016 tourney was thrilling with Wales and Iceland getting out of pocket and Portugal claiming top prize despite winning only one match in regular time), and on the other it reminded us of how dumb it is to host a major international tournament in 12 different countries (Did you ask for this? I didn’t ask for this).
But the countdown is once again on with Euro 2020 Part Deux just 283 days away!
After the gluttony of club action to finish the 2019-20 season posthaste, it's very much appreciated that Europe’s international teams are actually back in action this week in the UEFA Nations League following a 10-month hiatus.
Many of those sides — including England, France, Portugal and the Netherlands — will return to the pitch wearing the latest national team kits by Nike, which will be the same threads they’ll sport at next summer’s main event.
Here are all the jerseys that Nike released on Monday for its stable of European powers.
