The 2004 UEFA European Football Championship, commonly called Euro 2004, was held in Portugal between June 12 and July 4, 2004. The UEFA European Championship is a quadrennial football competition between national teams organised by UEFA, the governing body in Europe. This was the first time that the competition was held in Portugal, and UEFA considered the tournament "the best ever". This was mostly due to the high level of football played, big surprises (Germany, Italy and Spain were knocked out during the group stage, title-holders France were sent home by unfancied Greece, and hosts Portugal managed a winning streak towards the final following their opening defeat, beating Spain, England (on penalties) and the Netherlands along the way.
For the first time, the final featured the same teams as the opening match, with the hosts losing both of them, also for the first time. The hosts Portugal were beaten by Greece on both occasions.
During the opening ceremony, the Portuguese portrayed a ship, symbolizing the voyages of the Portuguese explorers, sailing through a sea which gave place to the flags of all competing countries. Such was the enthusiasm that overtook the Greek fans that the ship became the symbol of the Greek victory, as Greeks chanted for the "Pirate Ship" (πειρατικό), as the Greek National Team was instantly named.

[edit] Qualifying
Qualification for the tournament took place from September 2002 to November 2003. Fifty teams were divided into ten groups of five teams and each played the others in their group, on a home-and-away basis. The 1st placed teams automatically qualified, and the ten group runners-up took part in play-offs to select another five teams. Including the host nation, Portugal - who qualified automatically - 16 nations competed in the tournament.

[edit] Knockout stages
The knockout stage was a single-elimination tournament involving the eight teams that qualified from the group stage of the tournament. There were three rounds of matches, with each round eliminating half of the teams entering that round. The successive rounds were: Quarter-finals, Semi-finals, Final. For each game in the knockout stage, a draw was followed by up to thirty minutes of extra time (two fifteen minute halves); if a team scored in the first half of extra time and were still leading after 15 minutes extra time, the team leading would win on a silver goal, if no player scored in the first half of extra time, the full half-hour would be played. If scores were still level after 30 minutes extra time there would be a penalty shootout (at least five penalties each, and more if necessary) to determine who progressed to the next round. Scores after extra time are indicated by (AET), and penalty shoot outs are indicated by (PSO).
