EURO 2016: The Greatest Football Tournament That Nobody Cares About

Euro 2016, also known as the UEFA European Championship, is a quadrennial football tournament that takes place in Europe. It is a competition that brings together the best national football teams from the continent to battle it out for the title of European champions. However, despite its grandeur, there’s not much excitement stirred up unless the finals come around.

The tournament first took place in 1960, and ever since then, it has been the stage for some of the greatest footballers ever to grace the pitch. But let’s be honest, who cares about that? What we’re interested in is the money from bets and the memes that arise from the matches.

The most memorable moment of Euro 2016 was when Ronaldo, the Portuguese captain, was taken off the pitch on a stretcher with a knee injury during the final match against France. But what was even more memorable were the countless memes that emerged from it. Memes like this:

The tournament is also famous for its passionate supporters, who spend months planning their trips to attend the matches. They’re also responsible for citywide riots once a team wins or loses, but who cares about that? They just want to have a good time and celebrate their team’s victories.

Let’s not forget about the oddball mascots that UEFA releases for each tournament. Euro 2016’s official mascot, Super Victor, was a purple, black, and green superhero, who looked like he belonged in a comics store instead of a football stadium. His name also sounds like the alter ego of a pervy superhero who likes to flash unsuspecting women in public.

So, there you have it, folks. Euro 2016 – a tournament that comes around every four years to remind us that we still have no idea what the offside rule is, and that football can be full of surprises, memes, and weird stuff. So grab a beer, place a bet, and enjoy the show. But don’t expect us to care until the finals come around.
