Just imagine the scenes when Gareth Bale comes out #indycurious at a #Euro2020 press conference
The London media present would ignore it obviously
No doubt already miffed at having been "relegated" to asking questions after Welsh language journalists

The best bit wld be when CR7 in a following press conference says that he is sympathetic to Bale's indy curiousness
"As a proud Portuguese why would I want my country part of an Iberian state?" says CR7
"Aaron & I often discuss the rights to self-determination of small nations"

Naturally the Turkish contingent interpret this as a message by Bale expressing pro-Kurdish solidarity
"Mr Bale should know that politics should be kept out of sport. How response on the pitch to his interference will be swift and brutal"
Wales beat Turkey 4-1 (Bale 2, Moore 2)

The Swiss contingent refuse to be drawn on such matters whatsoever for fear of unleashing latent Liechtensteiner alpine Lebensraum
Besides, everyone gets a bit bored waiting for the Swiss press conferences to end given each question is asked and answered in the country's 17 languages. Including Albanian
Meanwhile, the unintended consequences of Bale's indy curiousness ripple across Europe

Lapland, in particular, look to hijack Finand's debut tournament appearance to press its claims for Uefa membership
Estonia immediately announces a friendly with Lapland for later in 2020 as party of its quest to play every other nation in the solar system
