The 2016 UEFA European Championship, commonly referred to as UEFA
Euro 2016, is the 15th UEFA European Championship, the quadrennial
international men's football championship of Europe organised by
UEFA. It is currently being held in France from 10 June to 10 July
2016. Spain are the two-time defending champions, having won the2008
and 2012 editions...
...Romania, Turkey, Austria and
Switzerland all returned after missing out in 2012, with the
Austrians qualifying for just their second final Euro tournament,
after having co-hosted Euro 2008. Returning to the final tournament
after long absences were Belgium for the first time since co-hosting
Euro 2000, and Hungary for the first time in 44 years, having last
appeared at Euro 1972, and 30 years since appearing in a major
tournament, their previous one being the 1986 FIFA World Cup...
...A total of €301 million
will be distributed to the 24 teams contesting in the tournament, a
growth from the €196 million payment in the preceding event. Each
team will be rewarded €8 million, with further rewards depending on
their performances. The champions of the competition will be awarded
€8 million in addition to any prize money earned in earlier rounds
– the biggest prize attainable is €27 million (for winning all
group bouts and the final)...
...The
official mascot of the tournament, Super Victor, was unveiled on 18
November 2014. He is a child superhero in the kit of the France
national football team, with a red cape at the back, to echo the
colours of the Flag of France. The cape, boots and ball are claimed
to be the child's superpowers...
...The
competition's official opening song is "This One's for You"
by David Guetta featuring Zara Larsson, and the official closing song
is "Free Your Mind" by Maya Lavelle. It was reported that
David Guetta sought one million fans to add their voices to the
official anthem via a website.

Good
morning everyone, the country has just taken part in a giant
democratic exercise, perhaps the biggest in our history.
Over
33 million people from England, Scotland, Wales, Northern Ireland and
Gibraltar have all had their say.
We
should be proud of the fact that in these islands we trust the people
for these big decisions.
We
not only have a parliamentary democracy, but on questions about the
arrangements for how we've governed there are times when it is right
to ask the people themselves and that is what we have done.
The
British people have voted to leave the European Union and their will
must be respected.
I
want to thank everyone who took part in the campaign on my side of
the argument, including all those who put aside party differences to
speak in what they believe was the national interest and let me
congratulate all those who took part in the Leave campaign for the
spirited and passionate case that they made.
The
will of the British people is an instruction that must be delivered.
It
was not a decision that was taken lightly, not least because so many
things were said by so many different organisations about the
significance of this decision.
So
there can be no doubt about the result.
Across
the world people have been watching the choice that Britain has made.
I
would reassure those markets and investors that Britain's economy is
fundamentally strong and I would also reassure Britons living in
European countries and European citizens living here there will be no
immediate changes in your circumstances.
There
will be no initial change in the way our people can travel, in the
way our goods can move or the way our services can be sold.
We
must now prepare for a negotiation with the European Union.
This
will need to involve the full engagement of the Scottish, Welsh and
Northern Ireland governments to ensure that the interests of all
parts of our United Kingdom are protected and advanced.
But
above all this will require strong, determined and committed
leadership.
I'm
very proud and very honoured to have been Prime Minister of this
country for six years.
I
believe we've made great steps, with more people in work than ever
before in our history, with reforms to welfare and education,
increasing people's life chances, building a bigger and stronger
society, keeping our promises to the poorest people in the world and
enabling those who love each other to get married whatever their
sexuality, but above all restoring Britain's economic strength.
And
I'm grateful to everyone who's helped to make that happen.
I
have also always believed that we have to confront big decisions, not
duck them.
That
is why we delivered the first coalition government in 70 years, to
bring our economy back from the brink.
It's
why we delivered a fair, legal and decisive referendum in Scotland.
And
it's why I made the pledge to renegotiate Britain's position in the
European Union and to hold the referendum on our membership and have
carried those things out.
I
fought this campaign in the only way I know how, which is to say
directly and passionately what I think and feel - head, heart and
soul.
I
held nothing back, I was absolutely clear about my belief that
Britain is stronger, safer and better off inside the European Union
and I made clear the referendum was about this and this alone - not
the future of any single politician including myself.
But
the British people have made a very clear decision to take a
different path and as such I think the country requires fresh
leadership to take it in this direction.
I
will do everything I can as Prime Minister to steady the ship over
the coming weeks and months but I do not think it would be right for
me to try to be the captain that steers our country to its next
destination.
This
is not a decision I've taken lightly but I do believe it's in the
national interest to have a period of stability and then the new
leadership required.
There
is no need for a precise timetable today but in my view we should aim
to have a new prime minister in place by the start of the
Conservative Party conference in October.
Delivering
stability will be important and I will continue in post as Prime
Minister with my Cabinet for the next three months.
The
Cabinet will meet on Monday, the Governor of the Bank of England is
making a statement about the steps that the Bank and the Treasury are
taking to reassure financial markets.
We
will also continue taking forward the important legislation that we
set before Parliament in the Queen's Speech.
And
I have spoken to Her Majesty the Queen this morning to advise her of
the steps that I am taking.
A
negotiation with the European Union will need to begin under a new
prime minister and I think it's right that this new prime minister
takes the decision about when to trigger Article 50 and start the
formal and legal process of leaving the EU.
I
will attend the European Council next week to explain the decision
the British people have taken and my own decision.
The
British people have made a choice, that not only needs to be
respected but those on the losing side of the argument - myself
included - should help to make it work.
Britain
is a special country - we have so many great advantages - a
parliamentary democracy where we resolve great issues about our
future through peaceful debate, a great trading nation with our
science and arts, our engineering and our creativity, respected the
world over.
And
while we are not perfect I do believe we can be a model for the
multi-racial, multi-faith democracy, that people can come and make a
contribution and rise to the very highest that their talent allows.
Although
leaving Europe was not the path I recommended, I am the first to
praise our incredible strengths.
I
said before that Britain can survive outside the European Union and
indeed that we could find a way.
Now
the decision has been made to leave, we need to find the best way and
I will do everything I can to help.
I
love this country and I feel honoured to have served it and I will do
everything I can in future to help this great country succeed.

Richard Marvin "Dick" Butkus (born December 9, 1942) is a
former American football linebacker who played for the Chicago Bears
of the National Football League (NFL). He was drafted in 1965 and is
also widely regarded as one of the best and most durable linebackers
of all time. Butkus played college football for the Fighting Illini
at the University of Illinois. He became a member of the Pro Football
Hall of Fame in 1979. He played nine seasons in the NFL for the
Chicago Bears. Billed at 6 ft 3 in (1.91 m), 245 lb (111 kg), he was
considered one of the most feared and intimidating linebackers of his
time, being named the most feared tackler of all time by NFL.com in
2009...
...Butkus
was selected to eight Pro Bowls and was all-league six times. In his
rookie season, Butkus led the Bears in tackles, interceptions, forced
fumbles, and fumble recoveries, and regularly led the team in these
categories throughout his career. Butkus recovered 27 fumbles in his
career, an NFL record at the time of his retirement. He was one of
the most feared players of his era and even appeared on the cover of
Sports Illustrated in 1970 with the caption "The Most Feared Man
in the Game." He had one of his most productive seasons in 1970
with 132 tackles, 84 assists, 3 interceptions and 2 fumble
recoveries. He was forced to retire after multiple knee injuries in
1973...
...One
of Butkus' greatest strengths was his ability to rip the ball from a
ball carrier's hands. Although back then the statistic was not kept,
it has been noted that Butkus would certainly be one of the all-time
leaders in the forced fumbles category.

The
number of football-related arrests in England and Wales fell last
season, according to Home Office figures. In the 2008/09 campaign,
police made a total of 3,752 arrests at domestic and international
football matches, a fall of 2% on the season before. On average
there was 1.18 arrests per game, and the Home Office say 354 people
were arrested for violence. In all, 956 football banning orders were
issued during the 2008/09 season, with 37 million people attending
games. In the Premier League, champions Manchester United had the
most fans arrested - 185 in total. Second was relegated Newcastle
United with 144 arrests and third was Everton with 139. Fulham had
the fewest fans arrested with just 13. Supporters of League One
Leeds United topped the banning order list, with 162, ahead of
Championship side Cardiff City (124) and League One outfit Millwall
(110). Fans were generally well-behaved abroad - more than 105,000
fans travelled to 49 games in European club competitions last season
but only 30 were arrested.

Over
five million journeys a year are undertaken on the rail network by
football fans alone.
In 2008/09 there were just 51 serious
football related incidents, down from 63 the previous year. However,
there were another 538 reported incidents of anti-social behaviour
which impacted on other passengers and rail staff, up from 337 the
year before. In the 2008/09 season BTP officers made 838 arrests,
the highest to date, up from 601 the previous year.
