Euro 2016 - Politics & Sports

Tweet

With the reaction in the EU, I am wondering what it will be like when England who is through to play in the last 16 of the Euro Cup 2016 Soccer tournament, with a match against Iceland this Tuesday (+8GMT) in Nice, France. From the news France is leading to react adversely to the referendum in Great Britain, proposing that UK exit be a quick one instead of waiting till October. To me, this sort of sentiment is just inevitable and expected since the referendum does appear to be quite insensitive. I understand that there will be no room for politics in sports and I do hope that it will stay that way. However, this is much more than politics and with the country's leader (France) being upbeat about the exit, I just do not wish to see any escalation in this match. Fingers crossed and hoping for the best. Related reading: http://edition.cnn.com/2016/06/25/europe/brexit-eu-leaders-meet/index.html
