A bit of history, Hungary’s striker Adam reading this at lunch & the winners & losers from the group stages of Euro 2024 in this roundup

It isn’t too shabby for a primarily European international football tournament to manage to captivate a global audience in 2024 given UEFA’s offshoot & answer to FIFA’s World Cup began only in the 1960s.

Of course though, it’s football & the international tournaments in the summer give every football fan a reason to cancel plans & be Bruce Wayne in his bat cave instead of scrolling through transfer news mindlessly on Twitter — it’s such a thing that even Elon Musk might start tweeting about transfers too if it isn’t Fabrizio Romano.

The Euros are like mini World Cups, and even England are part of the Euros — the only thing inclusively European about the UK since Brexit. In India though, where cricket borders on religion, football is slowly growing — it’s become staggeringly more popular than when I was a teen watching Euro 2004 & 2008 or the 2002 & 2006 World Cups.
