in a bunch about their kit. Unlikely, I realize, but it would be great if the two teams met in the quarter-finals.
UEFA has ordered Ukraine to remove the phrase "Glory to the heroes" from their Euro 2020 shirts due to its military connotations, though a map outline of the country that sparked fury across Russia is allowed to remain.
The outline on the shirt includes the region of Crimea, which was annexed by Russian forces in 2014, but remains widely recognised as part of Ukraine.
After complaints from Russia, UEFA said the map was not a concern given it reflected UN-recognised borders, but the governing body deemed "Glory to the heroes" - a military greeting in Ukraine – as political in nature and ordered its removal.
Look closely and you can see the country outline in the shirt.
