The draw for this summer's 2016 European Championship Finals will be held TODAY in Nyon, France. Say what you will about European international qualifiers – the actual tournament is a lot of fun. Tottenham Hotspur will be well represented in today's draw, with players from England, Belgium, France, and Austria. Plus there's that one guy. From Wales, remember him?
I love tournament draws, because I love watching the groups take shape and discussing which ones are easy, which ones are tough, and which one is the infamous Group of Death. With 24 teams in the Euros for the first time ever, there should be no end of things to discuss.
The best news of all is that UEFA is planning to live-stream the entire draw for free on their website, and there are lots of places both on TV and online to (legally) watch. There are also rumors that they may also stream the draw on YouTube Streaming; if that's the case, we'll be sure and embed the player into this article.
