There's a scene in the season eight premiere of Seinfeld that relates quite strongly to the months on the horizon in European soccer.
It revolves around George Costanza, who is hit with a few tantalizing could've-beens had his fiancee not died from licking toxic glue on their wedding invitation envelopes (the statute of limitations over the spoiler alert has long expired, folks).
He's in the boardroom at the foundation set up for his would-be wife, Susan Ross, when a list of items they were due to inherit from her wealthy family–a large portion of their estate and a massive townhouse among them–is read to him.
