No football match sums up the glorious failing trope in English history better than the Three Lions' defeat to Germany in the semi-finals of Euro 1996. Breakthrough in symbolism and filled to the brim with iconic heart-weakening moments, the match was one of the most important turning points in transforming the English game into the global box office as it is today. Before the semi-final, the whole nation had gone down with a serious football fever, but the fans' relationship with the team was unpleasant when it entered Euro…

Villarreal and Spain center-back Pau Torres has said he remains "completely calm" about his future despite rumors of transfer interest from Manchester United and Real Madrid this summer and is not prepared to even think about it until after Euro 2020.The 24-year-old has emerged as one of Europe's most promising defenders in the last two seasons and has now effectively replaced Sergio Ramos as Spain's leading midfielder.He helped Villarreal improve from 14th place to fifth place in La Liga 2019/20, his first year of top…

Assignment 1: Achieved. That's right, people. Forget the hate stream against Gareth Southgate on social media. Forget the draw with Scotland. Forget the negativity. England are taking part in the quarter-finals of Euro 2020, and they have done so in a comfortable way. Seven points, three clean sheets and hardly any sweat. Judging by the Twitter attack, you would think that the three lions had made a real Turkey (by the way, not my surprise package, but please do not check here). The Boys / Chloe Knott - Danehouse /…

Spain's boss Luis Enrique has described his side as a bottle of cava waiting to be uncorked.However, the bubble will remain on ice and untouched unless La Roja qualify for the Euro 2020 knockout stages, with two incredible draws leaving them in an unpleasant position as Group E prepares to finish.There have been complaints about the quality of the pitch at Sevilla's La Cartuja, Alvaro Morata's finishing ability and the ghosts of previous Spanish teams. Whatever the reason for their failures - and there are many to choose…

Manchester United is one of several top European clubs chasing Kacper Kozlowski, but Borussia Dortmund are in pole position to sign the kid. Kozlowski recently became the youngest player in European Championship history when he came in as a replacement during Poland's 1-1 draw with Spain. He broke the record set by England's Jude Bellingham just a handful of days earlier. Kozlowski was currently selected for the 90-minute Our 21 series before the tournament began. Although his involvement in Euro 2020 has been limited, he…

Two doctors and a nurse in Tigray's regional capital, Mekele, told The Associated Press (AP) they could not confirm how many people were killed, but a doctor said on-site medical staff reported "more than 80 civilian…

How many dishes are so popular that they get a whole night dedicated to them? Yep, we're talking about pizza night. Pizza is an American staple, and then frozen pizza gave us all another excuse to add this cheesy, carby food to our regular diets. While that's been a win in terms of quick, easy dinners, it hasn't been a boon for our health. Pizza is one of the top sources of saturated fat in Americans' diets. Saturated fat, of course, is a type of fat that is linked to an increased risk of high cholesterol, heart disease,…
