BOXING DAY AND FOOTBALL. THAT'S WHAT ENGLAND DOES. On the latest European Nights with Rory Smith, presented by New Balance, Rog and Rory deep dive into the history of the greatest of all Christmas hangover cures...Boxing Day football. Find out why this marvelous British tradition started, how other countries around the world have tried (or tried not) to replicate it, and what the wider implications of the massive slate of holiday games are for both the Premier League and for Europe as a whole.
Then, Rory breaks down the non-stop controversy surrounding VAR, shares his predictions for what the year 2024 holds for world football, and then finally answers the question on everybody's mind...what does the Smith household eat for Christmas dinner? Presented by New Balance.
