3rd place

[edit]

I think this is someone's joke or imagination. It didn't exist in Euro 2004. Either it should be added to Euro 2004, or removed here. Solar Apex (talk) 01:14, 30 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

According to article 2.08 of UEFA's regulations for the 2008 UEFA European Football Championship (UEFA Euro 2008), both losing semi-finalist teams received 34 bronze medals each to be shared amongst themselves, and – as such – are deemed to have come in equal third place. – PeeJay 01:49, 30 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Europass ball

[edit]

The article claims the ball was designed by Oliver Khan, Germany's former national team goalkeeper. It's safe to assume that he didn't design the ball (that's what Adidas are for), and this claim isn't cited. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 217.42.200.31 (talk) 02:36, 30 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Pitch at St. Jakob-Park in Basel needed to be re-laid mid-tournament

[edit]

I added the following because it wasn't mentioned and it is relevant as it was the first time that a UEFA Euro tournament pitch had to be relaid mid-tournament

Torrential rain during the match between Switzerland and Turkey on June 11th resulted in the pitch at St Jakob Park in Basel requiring to be re-laid. The new pitch was installed in advance of the quarter-final match between Portugal and Germany on June 19th.[1][2]
