EURO is an international football (soccer) tournament in which European countries participate. Technically, the eligibility for participation depends on whether a country is part of the European football confedaration or not. The European confederation is called UEFA.

Somehow Israel is participating in this tournament. Israel also participates in Eurovision (along with other guests like Australia). Seems like the criteria for being European is whiteness lmao.

Also Russia has been banned from participating in EURO 2024.

Thankfully they're not doing well. I haven't watched any of their matches but I hope there's at least a few people in the crowd who are booing them and waving Palestinian flags, although I wouldn't be surprised if such actions are penalised.

UEFA is brimming with the worst kinds of bastards. It is almost certainly gonna be penalised especially considering Russia getting banned for the "unprovoked invasion" of Ukraine.

Talk about whatever, respecting the rules established by Lemmygrad. Failing to comply with the rules will grant you a few warnings, insisting on breaking them will grant you a beautiful shiny banwall.
