Inside EuroCup 2016

The Eurocup is an international championship where the best European national teams compete to see who the best is. When the tournament started in 1960, it was called the European Nations Cup but as times went by, the name changed into EuroCup. This football event is celebrated every 4 years in different countries in Europe, in this case, it took place in a number of cities in France. During the tournament, 51 matches were played, starting with a group stage and ending with the big final. Although Spain was one of the favourites to win the championship, the national team couldn’t beat Italy in the round of 16, a huge shame as it will be remembered as the end of one of the best eras in football history. However, it wasn’t all about football in France…

Spanish Political Mess

Last 20th December 2015, Spain celebrated the first political election with Felipe VI as king of the country. Everyone was so interested in the results as the country has suffered one of the worst recessions in its history. The government was led by Partido Popular, with its president, Mariano Rajoy, the current president of the country.

But he was sure those elections were going to be so hard to get as the population has a bad opinion on its political party, complaining about all the money they stole, all the pain they produced over people and more and more things. Other political candidates were:

• PSOE, the greatest rivals of PP, with its president, Pedro Sánchez.
• Ciudadanos, with Albert Rivera.
• Podemos, a new party on Spanish political scene, with Pablo Iglesias.

Everyone knew there was going to be a president but eventually, political parties didn't come to an agreement as the results weren't in favour of any of them. Since then, they have spoken several times about building a new government but reaching no conclusion. Elections will have to be repeated to see who the "owner" of the Spanish goverment is.

Undeserved teachers' victory against students

Last 4th December, a match between teachers and students of Mª Inmaculada school, took place there. Firstly, there was a basketball match where the teachers crushed students with powerful and very tall people. This match was played by almost all the girls of 4º ESO, and boys played football.

A picture after the match

Students were very confident on this match, but at the moment of truth, they were a little bit off side. At the beginning of the match, students played so well, especially one tall guy named Alfonso. He scored a hat-trick in less than 6 minutes, so thanks to his contribution, students were wining when the break arrived. In the second time, students played much better than teachers but some mistakes sentenced the team, as teachers took advantage of their opportunities and they scored some goals to beat students.

Students were very disappointed with the result but if they had been more concentrated than they were, then they would have beaten them easily, as they are one of the best teams in the world. Students are waiting for another chance to recover their honour, but I think, they will have to wait for a long time. You will have more information with all the funny and interesting details about this marvellous event soon in Sports section.

By the best player in the world.
