Nike Just Released Some Mighty Fine Jerseys For Its Stable Of European Powers
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?

PSG Fans Take To Streets Of Paris For Final, But The Biggest Party Is In Marseille
