The Wish List: Euro Cup 2012

We may receive a commission on purchases made from links.

While the 2012 UEFA European Football Championship kicks off today, June 7th, you don't necessarily have to be jetting off to Poland and Ukraine to get caught up on some European soccer action. Just invite a couple friends over, crack open a six-pack (or break out the keg) fire up the grill and have your own Euro Cup fête. Follow your favorite team to the championships — scheduled for July 1st — in style.

Here are some items to get you started: First up, your team's jersey. We are partial to everything Italian, from soccer to soppressata, so we're going with the classic Italian Euro 2012 Jersey from Adidas. Be sure to also pick out some chic et pratique accessories for your party, like these bamboo plates from sustainable design company Branch, and a man-friendly cookbook appropriately titled Beer — A Cook Book, which includes recipes like Cerveza y Salsa Dip and Spicy Beer-Soaked Shrimp, all of which are perfect party bites. Check out this week's Euro Cup Wish List below.
