Google has joined the fray for the upcoming Euro 2016, with two doodles, one of which kicks in (quite literally) for the beautiful game.

The doodle features flags of all the 24 national sides participating in this tournament, with the Eiffel Tower in the centre, dressed in the colours of the French flag, kicking a football. This is also the first time for the Euros to feature 24 teams.

The other doodle features a cockerel, in the red, white and blue of the French flag, heralding the start of the tournament with a cockadoodledoo.
