Tuesday Night Football

The biggest international football (soccer) tournament is the World Cup. Midway between World Cups is the 2nd biggest international tournament, Euro.

Euro 2012 takes place next year in host nations Poland and Ukraine. Qualifying is taking place now in the early rounds of Europe's soccer championship.

At the Leidseplein sports bar where I go to see "any game that's on" (NFL late on Sunday) there were 5-7 games on at once between European national teams. I was there to see England vs. Wales, but the Netherlands were finishing up against Finland so the whole downstairs bar was watching that game. Upstairs were a big crowd watching Denmark v. Norway (happy loud drunken Viking fans), Germany v. Poland, France v. Romania, Italy v. Slovenia, Scotland v. Lithuania, and Austria v. Turkey.

Unlimited ribs w/fries or baked potato, 10 euros ... not the best ribs ever but really decent (there is a full rack stacked there).
