Some of the official Euro 2016 slogans are pretty amusing

Maybe they're lost in translation

Ben Kiely

The quality of slogans for Euro 2016 are varied, to say the least.

Fans of each of the 24 countries who qualified were given the opportunity to choose the motivational message that featured on their team’s bus.

Despite the campaign not exactly getting off to the greatest of starts, the votes have all been counted and the results are in. Each team competing in France now has their slogan, but some are definitely better than others.

Albania

Our favourite by far. Considering it came down to this, “Albania, you give me honor” and “Fly Eagle”, we think they absolutely made the right choice.

Austria

And again?

Hungary

No idea.

Russia

Very clever from the Russians to change the Three Musketeers’ slogan just enough to avoid having to shell out on all those pesky royalties.

Switzerland

Much like the Austrians, it seems as though the Swiss are massive fans of repetition.

Turkey

But, it hasn’t even begun either.
