Did you have France in the sweep? Is that why you're mad? ;) :D

I just think in way, it's good to have the usual suspects out of the way. Let someone else win something for a change.

A violent mob of England supporters besieged a Portuguese-run pub last night after their team's defeat on penalties in Euro 2004.



Police had to escort a group of Portuguese fans, including children, to safety after they were trapped in the Red Lion hotel in Thetford, Norfolk for more than two hours in what officers described as a "terrifying" ordeal.

Witnesses said that a mixed group of supporters watched the game peacefully inside the pub. But within minutes of England's defeat on penalties, a hostile crowd of around 200 people gathered outside and tried to enter the pub, hurling stones and bottles. Portuguese fans inside barricaded the pub doors with tables.

Sergio Queiroz, the pub manager, said: "It was terrible, there was blood everywhere and people were frightened for their lives. These English fans just wanted to attack us because they had lost the match."

Police reinforcements were called in from neighbouring Suffolk and dogs were used to contain the violence. A number of the pub's windows were smashed and the pub manager's car was set on fire.....

I think that is f-ing disgraceful. But there's always some so-called England fans who always violently spit their dummies out when they lose.

One thing I like about the tournament so far is that the negative teams have all dropped out (I will excuse Greece for clinging onto their 1-0 lead). Though I wouldn't call France negative, they did look a little complacent.

I think it can only be a good thing that the creative, attacking sides are doing well. :)

Is Denmark the only team left to have already won it?

I have had a good tournament & only watched the England games, so far :erm:

so I didn't see Greece vs France ( wish I was in a Taverna atm, though ;) )

- good luck to Holland :tu:

Holland won it in 88 (Van Basten/Rijkaard/Gullit). I think The Czechs have won it in the past as well.

Interesting/irrelevant stats: This is only the 12th european championship. Untill 1980 it was not very popular at all. In the 60s (when it was first held), it was a straight knockout tournament between 4 teams. Don;t know how they qualified though.

Chechoslovakia won it in 1976 (as I have now found out), so I think the Czechs have a claim as well.
Some interesting trivia on the tournament history here (under tournament flashback):
