As a non-native English speaker, isn’t the UK ironically the only one grammatically wrong about this?
Edit: as I Googled this, I walked right into that burn:
>You’ll often hear “Our 12 points goes to Estonia”, though. Partly, that’s because not all of the spokespeople at Eurovision speak perfect English.
I know Iceland falls under the category of using different phrasing, but I am giggling at the thought of Iceland speaking French.

Ah yes, the french. But damn is their baking good.
The British girl spoke French too. This map is wrong. Coeur sur vous les british ❤️
This is the worst graph I’ve ever seen.
The French: *our deux-welve pints gows too*
we’s sure tries
A common mistake by non-native learners of British English: whether a concept is plural or not is not determined by the morphology of the word, but by the intended meaning of the speaker.
> Liverpool was a great trading city
> Liverpool were great against Arsenal last night.
Shit map to be honest
IMO the [Our] part being implicitly considered is why green is wrong, but since it was implicit, it can be assumed to just mean “12 points go to” and not “Our 12 points go to”. Of course it’s wrong in the form “Our 12 points go to”, but non-natives don’t have the implicit “our” intended or assumed. It might as well be “12 points [from us] go to” or idk.
Also, weird that the Irish who learn and natively speak English would be “wrong” about it, so I’m sticking with the explanation that Brits assume “our” and the rest don’t, thus the different grammar.
So English is green and your own language is a no no…
French are the kind of people calling “courriel” the email and “ordinateur” the computer lol
I am not surprised
“spoke french”
lol
Fuck France <3
Can’t we just ignore the freakshow they call the Eurovision song festival?
La Francophonie.
So who is correct, should it be go or goes? I’d be surprised if the only country getting it wrong was the UK.
It’s obviously GB that did it wrong.
I would like for Australia to be shown to scale in future infographics.
Personally I view the announcement from the French jury as the best opportunity to get another beer from the fridge
Why *did* the Greek guy speak French?
Are language are corntree are right to talk how we want ??? we got are Brexit did ?
