Thierry Henry and Kate Abdo recently teamed up with LADbible TV for a game of Snack Wars. The CBS Sports figures were asked by the digital publisher to try foods from across Europe ahead of Euro 2024. The snacks were put into two categories in a head-to-head matchup between the United Kingdom and the rest of Europe.
Henry and Abdo both currently feature for CBS Sports’ coverage of the UEFA Champions League. Abdo became the network’s first major hire after they grabbed the massive deal to obtain exclusive rights to the competition in 2020. The British presenter leads the broadcaster’s pregame, halftime, and postgame shows alongside Henry, Micah Richards, and Jamie Carragher.

Since ending his playing career, the Frenchman has worked both in broadcasting and coaching. He is currently managing France’s U21 team, but will also lead his nation at the upcoming 2024 Summer Olympics.

The U.K. lost out yet again in the second face-off between Stinking Bishop cheese and Dutch Gouda. The British cheese apparently, as the name suggests, has an extremely distinctive odor. Both Henry and Abdo immeditaly objected to the Stinking Bishop.
In fact, the English anchor would not even try the cheese. Gouda, on the other hand, is quite popular across the globe, making the pick extremely easy.
The U.K. would, however, get their first point in the competition after…
