Euro 2020
The World Cup is the single greatest sporting event on planet Earth. Even if you don't like soccer, there is no event that has a combination of a) bringing the world together, b) bringing out fan passion, and c) preventing employees from doing work for a solid month. It is a glorious event.
Given the World Cup is only every 4 years (which only makes it a better tournament), we fill in that gap with 'other' sporting events. And one of those events is the Euro Cup, which is, without question, the best regional soccer tournament.
On Friday, June 11, we kick off Euro 2020. There are plenty of great teams (France, Italy, Germany, Belgium, Portugal), plenty of good teams (England, Spain, Denmark, Sweden), and one team that will surely disappoint (the Netherlands).
Over the next couple of days, I'll provide a breakdown of the favorites and the semi-favorites.
Criticism may not be agreeable, but it is necessary. It fulfils the same function as pain in the human body. It calls attention to an unhealthy state of things. - Winston Churchill
