Major international soccer tournaments are funny beasts. After a grueling, nine-month club season, we shuffle all the rosters, have these new teams play between three and seven games together, and then draw far-reaching conclusions and referendums -- Player A is clearly overrated, Coach B's tactics are a shambles, Country C's time has come and gone -- from this tiny sample of matches.
Only one match remains in Euro 2020, and while we'll refrain from the referendum, now seems like a pretty good time to chat about some of the trends and players who interested and entertained us the most over this past month or so.
