The EURO 2012 -- FRANCE

     Now I don't know if you're  a big soccer fan, but I certainly am (after all, I am a 13 year old living in France ).I also don't know if you've been watching the EURO 2012 lately -- once again I certainly have been. Of course, I support France like crazy and watch any of their games I can watch.
     Unfortunately, they're not the team they used to be a few years ago. some of their key players at the time don't play soccer anymore, which is a great shame. Nevertheless, I have still been following them during the European Cup of 2012...Their coach, Laurent Blanc has been coaching France for a while now, and continues to search for ways to win. The EURO 2012 was a somewhat successful tournament for them; first, they played England and tied them 1-1. Then they played Ukraine and got a 2-0 victory. Finally, they had to face Sweden and lost 2-0. So it turns out that France advances to the 'knock-out' stage... they would have to deal with Spain, the defending champs. I did not expect France to put on any show for me, and despite their 2-0 loss, they were determined to play their hardest and not give up!
