Looking at the Euros in a different light

Thu, Jun 23, 2016

Some say that football is a language spoken universally, and while that may be true, perspective and region can have a massive influence on your view(s) of the game. I live over in America, however, my parents grew up here and are completely Irish like everyone else in my family line. I have spent an extreme amount of time in Ireland; becoming adapted to the culture and social normalities, and in my head, those principles have significantly helped shape me into the man I am today. Because of those reasons, despite what my accent might imply, I do consider myself Irish. Before coming back for the summer, I briefly experienced the European Championship (Euros) and the affect it had on American society; as a result, I can now compare America's participation against the Irish's stupendous level.
