This Saturday, 7 June, sees the start of Euro 2008, European football’s most important championship. Contrary to what normally happens with the tournament (which is held every four years) this year’s event is organised by two countries, Austria and Switzerland, rather than just one.

Why don’t you try this game and revise your irregular verbs for this week’s tests?
