Euro 2016: Uefa red-faced as mascot shares name with sex toy

In a build-up marked by tension over weightier matters, Euro 2016 organisers face embarrassment of a different kind after it emerged their mascot shares its name with a popular sex toy.

Uefa is hoping for a sizeable income from merchandising featuring the Euro 2016 mascot, a small boy sporting a cape with superpowers called Super Victor.

But potential purchasers face a surprise when they search for the name of the toy online, with the results split between a sex toy available from sites such as Amazon and products featuring the tournament mascot.

The character was unveiled in November 2014, then nameless, at a France friendly, as the build-up to Euro 2016 began. The public were then invited to vote in a social media poll, with Super Victor beating Driblou and Goalix to become the official name.

Uefa said the name was based on the idea of victory and refers to the super powers the small boy gained when he found a magic cape, boots and ball. A spokesman added: ”All we can say is that they [the sex aids] are not produced by Uefa.”

I will narrow down my prediction when the finals starts. I want to see how the french, german and spanish teams plays first in order to make a more accurate prediction. The only thing that is certain is that Sweden will not win.

I am going to predict the winner and runner up after the final game concludes. maybe slightly before that, if I am in a risk-taking mood on that day

I am, actually. I like the World Cup more for these games between countries you normally never see playing.

That being said, I do agree the expansion for the EC is bad. Not because of these sort of games, but the first round has been made virtually obsolete. 16 out of 24 teams proceed to the second round... the first round hardly has any tension at all.

Yeah, you know why? Because they suck! Come on, I see Wales-Slovakia is next, wtf is that? This time I at least know one player, Bale, so it is an improvement over the Swiss Albania shitpile, but just barely. England - Russia, ok, I want to watch that, but I think I'm going to cottage in a couple of hours, no wifi there

Well that's preference I guess. I really like these games between the little countries.

We see the stars all year and clubs tend to play better football.

The Cups between the nations aren't about the best football, you can watch the Champuon's League for that. They are about atmosphere and fun matches. And these sort of games often have an abundance of that.

Euro championship always had the best quality, 16 best from the best continent. This was exactly the reason why, I didn't have to see the representatives of Oceania or some stupid Saudi team at Euros, unlike with WC. Now they just included the lesser euro teams. I mean, Ukraine? I like the country and all, but I know their team, I've seen the players, they are not good enough.

http://ftw...ed-by-using-hot-and-cold-balls

Former FIFA president Sepp Blatter, who was banned for six years after a string of corruption indictments were brought against people in and around the organization in 2015, has now accused tournament organizers in Europe of using heated or cooled balls during tournament draws in order to get the matchups they desired.

Well, I didn't predict that Portugal would win. When Ronaldo started to cry and quit playing and I was almost certain that France was going to win.

Why are there so many africans in the portuguese and french team? Aren't white people as good at football as africans are?

No. Just like nogs aren't as good as whites at tasks that require intelligence and impulse control.
