England and Euro 2016

• Just a few weeks back, England pulled off an
  amazing feat- they defeated Germany 3-2 which
  filled their fans with confidence for the
  upcoming UEFA Euro 2016 Football Championship.
  Their victory was even more memorable due to the
  way in which it was won.
• England were trailing Germany 2-0 at the end of
  the first half of the match, which made it quite
  difficult to foresee what was coming in next.
  Harry Kane, substitute Jamie Vardy and Eric Dier
  turned the fate around for England in the second
  half by scoring a goal each, and leading England
  to a 3-2 victory thereby strengthening their
  hopes for Euro 2016.
• However, it was a premature celebration. The
  momentum of Englands stirring win over Germany a
  couple of days prior was not enough for their
  next match against Holland. Jamie Vardy scored
  the first goal of the match during the first
  half, giving England an early lead. However,
  thanks to the goals from Luciano Narsingh and
  Vincent Janssen, Holland made a comeback win over
  England. With this being the Englands last game
  ahead of Euro 2016, the loss has definitely
  damped the effect of their win over Germany.

• As far as the English Premier League is
  concerned, there are a couple of transfer related
  news that are making the rounds. Paris
  Saint-Germain (PSG)star ZlatanIbrahimovic is
  believed to have received offers from several
  English clubs, although whether he will make this
  move or not is not certain yet. In response to
  this transfer news and rumours, two of his team
  mates have voiced their opinions. While Thiago
  Silva believes that it will be a step down for
  Ibrahimovicif he chooses to join the English
  Premier League, Angel Di Maria (who had flopped
  during his stint with Manchester United) is
  backing Ibrahimovics move should he choose to do
  so.
• It has also come to light that many prominent
  clubs of the English Premier League such as
  Manchester United, Chelsea, etc. are looking to
  get some fresh talent from other clubs. The
  rumours heading this transfer news is related to
  the following footballers ?Eden Hazard, Kostas
  Manolas, Riyad Mahrez, Marc-Andre TerStegen,
  Everton, etc.
• Coming back to the upcoming Euro 2016, England
  fans are hopeful but cautious as well, given the
  countrys history. England are the only European
  World Cup winning nation who have not lifted the
  Henri Delaunay Cup yet. They are also yet to
  reach a UEFA European Championship final, and the
  closest they came to it was in 1996(the year they
  hosted the event)when they lost to Germany in the
  semi-final in a penalty shoot-out at Wembley.
