Cristiano Ronaldo rejects Coca-Cola for water in bizarre Euro 2020 moment

OK, we get it, he likes water.

We all get it, mostly thanks to Tom Brady: hydration is the most important thing, drinking water is vital.

But did Cristiano Ronaldo really need to push aside the bottles of Coca-Cola — a big sponsor of Euro 2020 — bottles on the podium during a meeting with reporters and endorse water?

Apparently so. And again, I’m all for water, I drink a lot of it every day. It’s just that the people running Euro 2020 might not be so happy about the fact that the biggest soccer star in the world just took a shot at a sponsor (or, hey, maybe that brings more attention to Coke!).

Here’s the moment:

Weird, but effective. Water!

Soccer fans couldn’t believe how out of position Scotland’s goalkeeper was for Patrik Schick’s amazing Euro 2020 goal

Oh no.

By now, you’ve probably seen Patrik Schicks’s unbelievable goal that could be the score of Euro 2020, a boot from just inside the halfway line that went over Scotland goalkeeper David Marshall’s head to give the Czech Republic a 2-0 lead in their match on Monday.

But how to Schick do that? And more importantly, how was Marshall THAT out of position to handle that moon shot floater?

Thanks to an overhead angle of the incredible goal, we have an answer, and fans are perplexed as to what Marshall was doing near the middle of the pitch.

Check this out and you’ll get why Schick did what he did:

Yeesh. Not good!

World sent prayers to Denmark’s Christian Eriksen after he collapsed during EURO 2020 match

The sports world reacted in real time as they watched Denmark’s Christian Eriksen collapse during a EURO 2020 match.

A horrifying scene unfolded during Saturday’s EURO 2020 match between Denmark and Finland when Danish star Christian Eriksen collapsed during the game and was unresponsive on the field.

Eriksen fell to the ground near the end of the first half, where he was quickly surrounded by medical personnel that worked on him for about 10 minutes, including giving him CPR, the Associated Press reported. He was taken off on a stretcher — to a loud ovation.

Eriksen’s teammates formed a protective wall around him to shield him from the cameras that continued to film the scene unfolding in real time, including shots of his crying wife, which left many outraged.

Denmark’s match against Finland has since been suspended.

The sports world reacted in real time as they watched the events unfold in real time during the broadcast. The reaction was, as you can imagine, horrified and devastated as the world awaited news of Eriksen’s status.

According to the UEFA, Eriksen has been transferred to the hospital and has been stabilized.

How to Watch UEFA Euro 2020 Qualifiers, Portugal vs. Lithuania, France vs. Moldova Live Stream, Schedule, US TV Channel, Start Time

Watch the UEFA Euro 2020 Qualifiers Live Online.

France, Germany, Portugal, Croatia, England and the Netherlands can each secure automatic qualification to Euro 2020 when the qualifying phase resumes on Matchday 9. Cristiano Ronaldo and the defending champions are still in danger of missing out on second in Group B, but a win over Lithuania on Thursday could be enough if Serbia fails to beat Luxembourg.

Current world champions and Euro 2016 runner-up France remains second in Group H. While level on points with Turkey, who leads via head-to-head, France will qualify as long as it beats Moldova at home. Didier Deschamps’ side can still be knocked out of the top-two running by third-place Iceland, who travel to Turkey on Thursday in need of a win if its to snatch an automatic spot.

Germany and the Netherlands are engaged in another close fight for the summit in Group C. De Oranje holds the head-to-head advantage over Germany with the pair level on points, while Northern Ireland holds a glimmer of hope to finish top two, currently three points behind in third.

Ronald Koeman takes the Netherlands to Windsor Park in Belfast on Saturday, while Germany hosts Belarus, each needing just one more point to cement their places in first and second, respectively.

England has suffered one loss in qualifying and need one point at home to Montenegro to guarantee a top-two finish, while a win would ensure they take the top spot. However, third-place Kosovo hopes a result away to the Czech Republic can cause one last shift in Group A.

Croatia plays its final match of the qualifying campaign at home to Slovakia on Saturday. One point would be enough to ensure the team finishes first in Group E. Gareth Bale’s Wales team is currently fourth in the pool and four points below second-place Hungary, who it has to beat at home if it’s to prolong an automatic qualification chance.

Spain has already wrapped up its Euro 2020 fate and looks set to finish first in Group F, but it’ll host bottom-dweller Malta on Friday in what promises to be a fairly one-sided fixture.
