I should say it is fun watching with Germans.  Mikey’s girlfriend bought the pink/blue jersey.  I still think it is horrible 

Pics…

…of her wearing the pink kit… or nothing. 🤷‍♂️

While we’re one the subject of ignoring ethnic identity and just looking at dirt & team crest, XHAKA is Albanian as well for those late to the game.

And lastly…

John & Jim Belushi are of Albanian 🇦🇱 descent, but they didn’t flee a crumbling former Yugoslavia like Shaqiri’s & Xhaka’s families.

While they may BOTH be Albanian, only one of them was funny.

FUCK. tierney is so damn snake bit. and that looked really bad. looked like his hamstring went first, which caused him to step funny and fuck off both his ankle and knee on the same leg. absolutely nothing worse than when a great guy who’s a great player is just co tj halley betrayed by his body. he looks absolutely devastated. damn.

Gotta say, VAR has been dead on this tournament. And timely.

 

Also, this tournament has been excellent overall so far, imo. First few matches were routs but many entertaining ones since. And gobs of goals.

I guess you missed the “Kosovo is Albania” fan banner that was prominently shown on TV during the Albania-Croatia match.

Ha ha, yeah, that’s not gonna happen. I will say that her bathing suits from the trip to the beach in France last month would actually fit into a coffee cup.

My favorite games in this tournament have been the Balkan countries going at it. Now Serbia are threatening to go home over mean chants.

 

Does anyone like the Serbs?

Or has their history of genocide and creating mass graves kind of turned people against them?

I always root against them in Tennis 🎾 & Soccer ️.

At the risk of being on my high horse, it's worth noting that this phrase has been deprecated. The preferred term these days is "The Land of Sweat and B.O."

I like Nikola Jokic. Would like to think he's better than the reputation of his countrymen. His brothers ... probably not so much.

I’m a Jokic fan as well. 

I kind of liked him already and then lived in Denver for a year and a half and really enjoyed watching this slow moving Stretch Armstrong-armed brilliant basketball mind with a 3-point shot and 4 1/2 inch vertical just control the court in slow motion.

Other than Jokic and one or two lower ranked Serbian tennis players (plus that cute female tennis player from 15 years ago)… that’s about it. 

They just seem like fascist shits and I never pulled for Darth Vader, so…

🖕Serbia

If all of the former Yugoslavian teams formed one A team first, before the leftovers played for their countries…

Would “Yugoslavia” be a Top 4 team in these Euros?

Germany, England, Portugal, Spain, & France would say “No”, but… maybe?

ENGLAND 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 v DENMARK 🇩🇰 

Is anyone pulling for England today?

I generally root for England the same way I do the US.... hope they play well and then laugh at them when they suck.
