Several people injured after protester parachutes into Euro 2020 game

Uefa has confirmed that “several people” are being treated in the hospital for injuries caused by a protester who parachuted into the stadium before France’s victory over Germany in their Euro 2020 game in Munich.

European football’s governing body said “law authorities will take the necessary action” for what it called a “reckless and dangerous” act. Debris fell on to the pitch and into the stands when the parachutist got tangled in wires carrying an overhead camera, while France’s head coach, Didier Deschamps, was seen ducking out of the way of a large piece of equipment near the dugout.

The activist from Greenpeace had the words “Kick out oil Greenpeace” written on his parachute. The man landed heavily on the pitch and was given medical attention before being escorted away by security.

“Shortly before the start of tonight’s Euro 2020 match between France and Germany in Munich, a protester briefly entered the stadium from the air and tried to land on the pitch,” said Uefa in a statement.

” This inconsiderate act – which could have had very serious consequences for a huge number of people attending – caused injuries to several people attending the game who are now in hospital and law authorities will take the necessary action.

“Uefa and its partners are fully committed to a sustainable Euro 2020 tournament and many initiatives have been implemented to offset carbon emissions. The staging of the match was fortunately not impacted by such a reckless and dangerous action, but several people were injured nonetheless.”

Greenpeace’s German Twitter account confirmed that the stunt was a protest against the tournament sponsor Volkswagen, demanding an end to the sale of petrol and diesel cars. When the match got under way it was won 1-0 by France after a Mats Hummels own goal in the first half.

Judging by the video it was only by luck that more people wasn’t injured in this incident.

The lack of security is concerning. What if a Sunni armed with a suicide vest, grenades and a assault rifle parachutes himself into a stadium and starts to thrown grenades and shoot at people from the air?

Cristiano Ronaldo's removal of Coca Cola bottles at a Euro 2020 press conference on Monday was followed by $4 billion being knocked off the company's market value.

Ronaldo was speaking at a press conference ahead of Portugal's game against Hungary on Monday when the soft drinks were placed in front of his seat. The 36-year-old removed them from view and said that people should 'drink water' instead.

The gesture coincided with a significant impact on Coca Cola's market value.
What happened?

Coca Cola's shares were worth $56.1 each when the market opened in Europe on Monday.

But by the end of the press conference, they had fallen to $55.2 each.

That is a 1.6 per cent drop in share price, which means a $4 billion loss in market value.

Fun fact, Soccer was invented by European housewives so they had something to do while their husbands made dinner and finished the laundry.

Also, shouldn't there have been a comma before Greenpeace, or have elsewhere. Poor branding.

Haha yea, but American Football was invented by American housewives to give their husbands brain damage. Then they won’t question the subsequent divorce and alimone settlements. They take it like men…with brain damage :)

Of course not, these are very boring activities, rivaled only by golf and table tennis in how boring they are to watch. World /Euro cup finals, yes they are worth to watch because it is a battle between nations, but the sport itself is very boring. American football, had the pontential to not be boring, but some how they made it boring with all these downs and stops in play, just so they can squeeze in more commercials. Fucking blood suckers.

I rather watch a Star craft 2 match than any kind of football or sports. I have tried to explain this to people, but all these "sports" are bad substitutes for beating each other up. Hence the only true sport is martial arts, MMA, BJJ, boxing, Karate, kick boxing etc. You can go play your gay tennis, or basketball or whatever, but the question still remains, can you kick my ass? The hockey guys are the only ones who kinda get it. Not suprisingly hockey is the one I sorta like. Action, speed, no stops and faking injury, you can barely keep up with the puck and occasionally, the guys on the ice try to settle the age old question, "yea, but can you kick my ass?".

I agree with a lot of what you just wrote, only I consider these sports the good substitute for beating each other up.

I also enjoy both football and american football. Hockey as well, though it's been long since I watched any. Tennis too.

Actually beating each other up tends to be boring to me... I prefer watching a game. Games are more interesting to me.

Golf is the best televised spectator sport, followed by MMA.

Football is good too.

Soccer and eSports are for faggots. Tennis shouldn't even be a sport.

Golf is well liked to play* because you get to drive around and have hot girls in skimpy outfits deliver beer to you.

Once I discovered this, I got why people like golf.
