Streamers on Euro Cup
Not that I’m hiding my unimpressive result in the office Euro 2008 pool we ran, but I can’t help but to comment on the Euro Cup. I’m not a huge soccer (or football) fan to start with but what is it with the streamers on the trophy? The game seemed pretty good, I was able to catch the end of it at Jack Astors after seeing the Jays game Sunday. I couldn’t help but stare at the streamers and feel underwhelmed about the whole presentation.
Maybe it’s just the hockey goon in me, but that seems awfully sissy like in comparision to the trophies from any other sport. Then again, they (soccer players) are also known to dance around the pitch every once in awhile. I suppose they do go hand in hand.

The streamers aren’t part of the trophy from what I can tell. They are put there symbolically and represent the flag of the country who wins.
Just saying…
