We’re starting to think the Euro 2016 organisers should have done a bit more market research before naming their mascot.
A child superhero will be the face of the tournament, and he was given the name ‘Super Victor’ following a public vote.
Suite à vos votes, le nom de la Mascotte que vous avez choisi est #SuperVictor !https://t.co/UzYBT5xSPY

There’s just one problem, as brilliantly-named football Twitter account ‘Fisted Away’ pointed out.
You see, there’s someone else – or rather something else – with the name ‘Super Victor’.
Be warned: the following description is very much not safe for work.

@fistedaway "Truly enormous, weighing in at 5.5kg, the Super Victor Dildo is a wonder to look at and the ultimate in big toy arse play"

Super Victor has veins all over its shaft and an exaggerated head for maximum … Attention: Don´t use this toy with any oilbased lubricant

The French will hope Super Victor can lead Les Bleus to tournament glory, with Didier Deschamps’ squad inspired by a rampant Rabiot.
