European football’s “Champions League” competition is an annual event — a mini-World Cup, so to speak — which attempts to answer the burning question: “Ignoring national boundaries, which is the best football club in Europe?”
I know that in these parts, football (“soccer”) is about as popular as Underwater Australian Wrist Wrestling (Friday nights @ 3am on ESPN), but bear with me because I’m not going to talk about the game anyway.
The ECL’s main TV host is an Albanian named Eva Amati, and she makes all our U.S. female sports presenters look like male drag artists.
And her Valentine’s Day pic:
I want to lie on a bed and listen to her murmur sweet Italian* nothings in my ear.
*She speaks Italian and English fluently, as well as her native Albanian.
