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. https://twitter.com/EURO2016/status/538998749226631169 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. https://twitter.com/fistedaway/status/717128983469539330 https://twitter.com/fistedaway/status/717130324862496769 https://twitter.com/fistedaway/status/717130485227499520 The French will hope Super Victor can lead Les Bleus to tournament glory, with Didier Deschamps' squad inspired by a rampant Rabiot.
