Connecticut (US): Aside from his exploits in the World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE) where he has set the ring on fire on numerous occasions from defeating Seth Rollins to picking up 7-foot-1, 347-pound skyscraper of a man The Great Khali, Cesaro is a fervent supporter of football and believes the team that adjust faster will have a greater chance to fair well in the UEFA EURO 2020.

"We are definitely going to make the group stages, but it remains to be seen how far we get. I think this year Euro is very interesting and unpredictable due to the schedule. It has been really hectic and there are so many games in a short period of time. We will have to see which team will adjust the fastest. I think it's wide open. It can at least make a run for it," Cesaro told Etv Bharat.

The WWE superstar also recalled the time when Switzerland couldn't qualify but he is now ecstatic that the team has been doing well.

"I remember the time when Switzerland didn't qualify for the Euros. We have been doing really well and I am very excited and happy about this," he said.

Do WWE superstars discuss football behind the screens?

Yes, especially all the international guys from Mexico to Europe. We talk football all the time. I remember when we were in Australia and they were playing England, and that was cricket. We are all into sports. Whenever we get a chance, even when we travel...me and Sheamus, we always discuss it. We just love it so much and we understand what it means to the community and countries and especially the Euros where you have pride involved and even when your country is not participating. You just pick a second team to support. That's what we did in the last World Cup. I think we were in Japan or China at that time. I, Sheamus stayed up till 3 in the morning and watched all the matches together. That's what sport means to us," he said.
