Ireland’s road to the Euros
It has been
a long and far from boring journey for the Boys in Green as they fought for
their ticket to France. Ireland did not start their Euro 2016 campaign with high
hopes. The Republic of Ireland was drawn in a group with world champions
Germany and rivals Scotland, and with a team that played far from inspiring.
After a strong start, 8 points from 4 matches, the Boys in Green got into a
difficult couple of months: two draws following a defeat against Scotland.
Irish supporters were looking to spend another summer on the couch. O’Neil,
manager of the Republic of Ireland, needed to think of something new. Even
after a 4-0 win against Gibraltar, fans still did not get their hopes up. That
all changed when the German team came to Dublin. On October 8, 2015 something
happened no one ever thought would have been possible: Ireland defeated world
champions Germany with a 1-0 win. A thrilling couple of weeks followed to the
play offs which would give them a ticket to France. It was not until the very
last game, on November 15 2015 against Bosnia & Herzegovina, Ireland
managed to secure their place in the group stage in France. Umbro proudly presents
the shirt the Boys in Green will be wearing at the European Championships in
France.

Reflection
In my blog
I want to show the experience of what fans go through when they see their team
play. It shows how important a silly game can be for an entire nation.
The
technique I used in my social media post was AIDA.
I like the story ( experience ) ! It make sence with your post andthe main idea and goal. Only the link is missing )))
BeantwoordenVerwijderenAll in all, I like it , and I cannot say what is right and what is wrong. Great job!
Nice story. Although it is specifically targeted towards football lovers and thus not much for me, I would like to read this if I was a fan. The only thing I feel is missing is the connection between the story and Umbra, which came in the end, but maybe consider also hinting at Umbro's importance somewhere in the middle or the beginning..?
BeantwoordenVerwijderenAnother thing I was wondering about is: is your post linked back to your blog or is it a standalone post..? If it is linked back, try not to use the same picture in the post as in the blog (one of the Don'ts according to the lecture slides).
But good story otherwise!
