UEFA EURO2016

Euro 2016 social activity will determine Eiffel Tower's colors

The UEFA Euro 2016 soccer tournament kicks off next week, and fans will have the opportunity to show their team spirit via the Eiffel Tower. Tournament sponsor Orange, a French wireless carrier, will light up the Paris landmark in the colors of the most popular team based on social media activity across Twitter, Facebook and Instagram. Posts will be counted from 12:01 AM until 9:30 PM local time the following evening during the month-long event set to take place in France. At that time, the team/nation with the most activity will have its colors displayed on the iconic structure.

Of course, there's plenty of opportunities for abusive language and trollish behavior. Orange says it has a crew of moderators and only hand-picked posts will be displayed on-site, projected onto the Eiffel Tower. What's more, the carrier says it won't count any social updates that contain "blacklisted" words. If the 2014 World Cup was any indication, the internetloves international soccer, so there's sure to be a flurry of activity -- especially now that there's some added incentive.

I got my fingers crossed for Russia, but Im pretty sure that our maximum is the round of 16, maybe quarter-finals if we got lucky.
I guess Germany will win the thing, but France and Spain have their chances as well.Im sure England will fail as they always do and tbh dont understand the whole hype around Belgium.

 

[Zulkarneyn]

My bet is either Ispanya or Almanya will win.
But my heart is with the team with the biggest heart <3 Turkiye

For the first time in history I think England are going into the tournament in a good shape . Jamie vardy , harry kane , wayne rooney . I feel they can do well this time. Otherwise we all know what they end up doing in tournaments.

England is like the South africa of football. Wins most friendlies but flops in tournaments .

My teams to Win

1. Germany
2. England
3. France

Will be cheering for Turkey, even bought a Arda Turan jersey.

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

Super Victor was designed by Euro 2016 organisers as a small boy with a cape and superpowers, but he shares his name with a 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.”

Anyway,thanks to the police work for bringing calm and maintaining the order and avoid total anarchy.
