Now that we can finally put LeBron James and the NBA Finals behind us, this week's entry in The Internet's Greatest Feature takes us across the pond and directly into the Fiesta of Futbol that is Euro 2012! While we here at THE GLOBAL PHENOMENON have certainly had our fair share of the fast-kicking, low-scoring and ties action that the"the beautiful game" is famous for, this is the first time a headband has braved the communist borders of both Ukraine and Poland!
