GREECE, EURO 2004

Only Latvia were longer odds to win in Portugal. A pragmatic approach saw them navigate a treacherous group and that trend continued until their 1-0 final win over the hosts.

DENMARK, EURO 1992

They did not even officially qualify for the eight-team tournament, filling in for the disqualified Yugoslavia. Peter Schmeichel was their hero before they beat Germany 2-0 in the final.

CZECH REPUBLIC, EURO 1996

Competing for the first time since their independence, the Czech’s overcame just about every international superpower before eventually falling short to Germany in the showpiece.

CZECHOSLOVAKIA, EURO 1976

Given it was a four-team tournament, this may seem an odd choice, but they beat two of the greatest sides in history to win it – the Total Football of the Netherlands and West Germany.

TURKEY AND RUSSIA, EURO 2008

The bottom seeds both made a run to the last-four. Finishing second in their respective groups, the Turks then beat a highly-rate Croatia and the Russian’s upset the Netherlands.
