Greece celebrating their win

The UEFA Euro 2004 final was the final match of Euro 2004, the 12th European Championship, organised by UEFA for the senior men's national teams of its member associations. The match was played at the Estádio da Luz in Lisbon, Portugal, and contested by Portugal and Greece. The two defences ensured that goal-scoring opportunities were limited, and the score was 0–0 at half-time. Greece scored the only goal of the match after 57 minutes when Angelos Basinas took a corner kick to Angelos Charisteas, who sent a header past goalkeeper Ricardo. Several pundits labelled Greece's tournament win the greatest upset in the history of the European Championship, with their pre-tournament bookmaker odds at 150–1. Greece subsequently failed to qualify for the 2006 FIFA World Cup and did not successfully defend their European Championship in 2008. Portugal eventually won the European Championship in 2016.

Support. Thanks for the nom, sounds a good shout to me having it coincide with final day. Having another Euro final TFA five days later hopefully won't raise too many eyebrows will it? — Amakuru (talk) 10:06, 7 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Amakuru: From the comment above, it sounds like you want to nominate another Euro final for July 19? If so, that might be tough because that will be 3 UEFA finals in a month. I'm happy to withdraw this nomination if you have a preference. Z1720 (talk) 15:29, 7 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Support Good idea to have this on the front page 20 years on from the final. NapHit (talk) 08:38, 31 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
