VICE Sports World News Roundup: June 20, 2016

Good morning, America. It's June 20th, 2016. Welcome to the VICE Sports World News Roundup. Be sure to stop every morning for more headlines from around the world.

In the run-up to the Rio Olympics, things are going from bad to worse. Not only is the nation in a state of political and economic turmoil, but now the state of Rio de Janeiro is flat out broke. Per Reuters: "Rio de Janeiro's governor declared a state of financial emergency…to avoid 'a total collapse in public security, health, education, transport and environmental management,' a decree in the state's Official Gazette said." Yikes!

In the European Cup, France failed to beat Switzerland. In the match, France hit the post a few times and managed to tear the Puma-produced shirts of four Switzerland players. After the match, Xherdan Shaqiri quipped to a Swiss tabloid, "I hope Puma doesn't produce condoms."

Mexico is in a state of mourning after the Mexican national team was skewered and roasted like so many anticuchos. It was a total collapse by the Mexicans. They lost their quarterfinal match 7-0. Yikes!
