Euro 2016 is coming…
From 10th June to the 10th July do not miss ‘Le Rendez-Vous’. Yes I’m talking about the 2016 UEFA European Championship, commonly referred to as UEFA Euro 2016 or simply Euro 2016. It is the quadrennial international men's football championship of Europe organized by UEFA. And for the 15th edition... cocoricooo it’s in France! As you may guess, I’m not a football expert. So I asked my pals at the Mediatheque to share their expertise with me in preparation for this article. According to these experts, France has a good chance of winning if the players work on their defense. Germany is also one of the bookies’ favorite. Spain is hoping to rediscover its legendary power. And England is a possible outsider. Who knows what’s going to happen! The Mediatheque team have placed their bets, see if they match up to your expectations:
Lionel, Rebecca, Nico, Chris: semi-final
Fred, Lucie: final
Emmanuelle, Camille: quarter final
