This is a really wild story... The Spanish ambassador in Poland is a big soccer fan. And, as you can imagine, he was very excited about Euro 2012 being played in Poland.
A TV crew was at his residence during Spain vs France and caught something on tape during the game: the ambassador shouting something like "Let's kick some French butt!"
He got canned after a 41-year long career in Spanish diplomacy.
Spain won the game against France and the Championship but the ambassador threw away his career.
