Today begins the UEFA European Football (or soccer, for us Americans) Championship, hosted by Poland and Ukraine. Over the next several weeks, sixteen nations will compete in the tournament;  the winning team will automatically be entered into the 2013 FIFA Confederations Cup. Find more information about competing teams and when games are being held, here.

Though, admittedly, some of us at Flying A *cough* me *cough* aren't the biggest sports freaks or the most athletically gifted, we're definitely going to check out a few games. And what better way is there to channel your inner sports god than accessorizing with one of many sports bags offered at Flying A? See what we did there?
