EURO 2016

10 things we've liked about Euro 2016

Much has been written about the 10% of the country following the national team in France and how the game against England drew a local TV audience of 98.8%. Modern football needs more stories like Leicester City and Iceland at Euro 2016. Afram Island

Atletico Madrid's Antoine Griezmann came into the tournament fresh off a penalty miss in the Champions League final against Real Madrid but has bounced back with 6 goals in the knock-out phase of the competition. The French hero of Euro 2016.
