Euro 2012 Off To Foreboding Start

FBL-EURO-2012-KOLESNIKOV-BUS

Euro 2012 officials had a very big day today, as aside from claiming to sue the bejeezus out of conspiracy theorists, they also launched the very first of their brand spankin’ new fan buses (which really do look quite decent from a superficial perspective). So they gave the keys to Deputy-Prime Minister Boris Kolesnikov for the inaugural drive through Lviv, Ukraine and he….got into an accident.

Yes, he plowed into the very same police car which was escorting him through the city.

If this is how they run the ‘little stuff’, Euro 2012 is on pace to be a dog and pony show unlike anything we’ve seen before. Good for us, but not a good month to be UEFA, FIFA, or anything with an acronym, really.
