Anthony Lane writes about the Euros, and how something is afoot in this tournament, a spectacle that has been explosively enjoyable and peppered with surprises.

Method B is to get some friends round, stack the fridge with Hofbräu, and psych yourselves up for Turkey v. Austria by rewatching, for the fifteenth time, that absolute bastard of a volley that Mert Müldür put past Giorgi Mamardashvili from the edge of the penalty area, in Dortmund. If those names leave you blank, then you haven’t been tuned into the UEFA Europe an Football Championships—in common parlance, the Euros—which are currently taking place in Germany.

From the moment the Romanian captain, Nicolae Stanciu, let fly from twenty yards, into the upper-west side of the Ukrainian net, the soccer at these Euros has been at its most unabashed—most fired up, as it were, by a sense of release—in the dramatis personae from central and eastern Europe. The group stages are now concluded; henceforth, it’s a knockout, with sixteen contenders, and both Romania and Slovakia are still involved. As are Slovenia, Turkey, and, yes, Georgia.
