Saw the headline and thought they must have really pissed Prestige Worldwide off before I realized it was about sport.

Ironically not banned from Euro 2020 as apparently UEFA tournaments are not major sporting events

Correct hence the word global. UEFA is a European body FIFA the world body.

"UEFA tournaments are not major sporting events"

I noted this as well. Makes me laugh.

Also they can still play in world cup, just cannot fly their flag. Ridiculous.

I blame that walloper Sir Craig Reedie. He lives round the corner from me. Any messages?
