interesting story from the euro cup..Lamine Yamal is a 16 year old prodigy player for Spain (club team is Barcelona) and he is currently with Spain in Germany at the euros. He had to get subbed out at the 70 minute mark the other day against Italy...fans were perplexed why he was subbed out whilst playing a great game. Turns out, it was past 11pm local time, and German labor laws prevent children under 17 of age from working past 11pm.
I just thought that was very interesting and something I've never seen happen in sports.
