Una espontánea saltó al campo de juego en medio del Bélgica vs Finlandia, en la Euro 2020. Vistiendo un top negro, la invasora tenía como misión promocionar WTF Coin, una de las 634.789 compañías (sí, es un número aleatorio) que tratan de convencer al mundo que las criptomonedas son la gran cosa.
Rápidamente, los agentes de seguridad del Gazprom Arena, en San Petersburgo, la tomaron y le mostraron el camino de salida.
In the immediate aftermath of Christian Eriksen’s collapse after suffering cardiac arrest in Denmark’s Euro 2020 opener against Finland, Danish captain Simon Kjær earned admiration around the globe for his actions.
UEFA has turned down a request from the mayor of Munich for the city's stadium to be lit up in rainbow colors for Wednesday's Euro 2020 match between Germany and Hungary.
Munich mayor Dieter Reiter had said he wanted to light up the stadium in the colors in protest against a new law in Hungary that bans the dissemination of content in schools deemed to promote homosexuality and gender change and restricts the media from showing content with homosexuality in programming accessible to minors.
With two matchdays already complete, England's footballing template has been executed perfectly so far at Euro 2020.
First: infinite pre-tournament hype, especially in connection to a burgeoning young star — in this case, Phil Foden. Then, earn some decent results in the group stage without looking overly encouraging on the pitch. Finally, get through to the next round, provide some hope, then lose in heartbreaking fashion late in the game or on penalties.
It's a pattern so often repeated that any England fan worth his salt has put it to memory.
Nunca una selección que perdió sus dos primeros partidos en la fase de grupos había clasificado a la segunda fase de la Eurocopa. Nunca. Hasta hoy.
Detrás del milagro estuvo Dinamarca, el equipo con más carga emocional en todo el torneo.
Países Bajos derrotó por 3-0 a Macedonia del Norte y avanzó a los octavos de final de la Euro 2020 con nueve puntos de nueve posibles. El director de orquesta en el triunfo de la clasificación fue Memphis Depay, quien disputó su primer partido como jugador del FC Barcelona.
De hecho, varios aficionados catalanes saltaron a las redes sociales tras ver su exhibición, entusiasmándose con lo que podrá aportar al equipo en la temporada 21/22 y recordando que el traspaso del jugador, ex Olympique de Lyon, no tuvo costo.
On Monday, an unreal 90 minutes unfolded that will be remembered by Danish fans forever. For Denmark to finish second in Euro 2020 Group B, the Danes needed a victory against Russia, Belgium to defeat Finland and some help on goal differential.
Belgium did its part against Finland in St. Petersburg.
Several weeks ago, I decided that The18 would cover all things North Macedonia ahead of Euro 2020. With the Netherlands defeating the tournament’s lovable underdogs 3-0 on Monday, the dream is over.
With a 1-0 victory over Ukraine at the National Arena in Bucharest, Romania on Monday, Austria punched its ticket to the Euro 2020 Round of 16 as Group C runner-up, meaning that they’ll play Italy on Saturday at Wembley Stadium in London.
Ukraine finishes third in the group, so they now face a nervous wait to see if they sneak into the knockout rounds as one of the four best third-place teams. History says they won’t, as three points and a goal difference of —1 wouldn’t have been enough at Euro 2016.
