Bring back Berni The Bunny!



Meet Kinas, the mascot for the tournament. Of course, no self-respecting mascot comes without ridiculous blurb explaining their background nowadays, and so it proves - no mention that the name is derived from the country's historic coat of arms, merely that "rumour has it that Kinas was born in a small, remote, Portuguese village with a supernatural gift which saw him assume the knowledge and craft of all great footballers, past and present." No. He actually looks like Sport Billy has mated with an anorexic Wayne Rooney. "Kinas loves music, partying and people, and his friendliness and enthusiasm have a tendency to spread to all of those around him." Er, it's a European Championship. Lots of luck.
