Football's Euro2016 kicks-off today and if you were expecting 'Three Lions' or something similar you might have known I'd find something completely different. 
This song played as background music to the recent BBC programme "Alan Shearer's Euro 96: When Football Came Home", behind England's penalty win over Spain. Presumably the producer (or whoever) picking-up on it being in the charts during the weeks leading into the tournament. 'Tonight, Tonight' by Smashing Pumpkins.

This video won various awards in 1996. By today's standards it looks rather average which only goes to show how much picture quality and CGI have altered our view.

Today is also the funeral for Muhammad Ali in Louisville, Kentucky  see: http://billblogs2.blogspot.co.uk/2016/06/another-legend.html  if you'd prefer.
