European Championship - Estonia (37)

Is that the version that Vincent speaks?

Some of the English on the web site is rather strange to a native speaker. Especially to the British users as it seems to be American Dunglish. :D

To be fair, speaking proper English seems to be pretty difficult for most of the natives ... :)

Certainly true. Taavi, well done.

England meets Croatia this afternoon. We are the favourite to reach the final i believe. Some players are  bit tired and do not start  in the first eleven.

We also beat Croatia with 1-0 and again it is Timothy Stockdale who scores. In the final arch enemy Germany is waiting. Can we bring the cup home !? It would be my second after winning with The Netherlands in season 29. And it would be Englands first one.

Well 0-3 at half time. Unbelievable. 1 minute a Schwalbe ofcourse, penalty, 0-1 . 5 shots later 0-3. We had 12 shots in first half. Second half, saving the honour 1-3.  What a big disappoinment. Two.lost finals in s row.

Unlucky @Aad. Good effort.
