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.

Go Ireland!

What a great evening for the Irish National Team! Ireland are into the last 16 of the European Football Championships.

Ireland played a fantastic game last Wednesday, they got to beat Italy, one of the favourite teams to win the championship. The Irish Team performance was so high and intense that Italy could do nothing but to accept their eventual defeat at the Irish brave attitude. You only had to look at any Irish player's T-shirt, covered with mud, to realise there had been a ferocious battle on the field that reminded us of that another battle brilliantly pictured by Mel Gibson in Braveheart.

Next coming challenge is France, nothing proves to be impossible for this amazing Irish group of players. Go Ireland!
