1. Which team(s) left the tournament with 0 points after the group stage?

Answer: Bulgaria

Bulgaria lost all three of its games: 0-5 to Sweden, 0-2 to Denmark, and 1-2 to Italy. This gave them also the worst goal difference of all 16 teams in the tournament.
2. Which of the following established football nations was NOT eliminated during the group stage?

Answer: France

3. Which was the highest score in a group match?

Answer: 5-0

Sweden beat Bulgaria 5-0, including a wonderful flying header by Henrik Larsson.
4. Which team won all three of their group games?

Answer: Czech Republic

The Czechs were looking red hot after the group stage, and put some wonderful football on display, most notably their 3-2 beating of the Netherlands coming back from 0-2 down.
5. Which Italian player was given a three-match ban for spitting?

Answer: Francesco Totti

Totti could not compete in the last two matches of the group phase. Italy subseqeuently failed to qualify for the quarter-finals.
6. Which of these coaches did not resign after their team's defeat/elimination from the tournament?

Answer: Sven-Goran Eriksson (England)

Eriksson's England team lost to the Portuguese in penalty shootout lottery (quarter-final), but put most of the blame on referee Urs Meier, who denied England a last minute winner.

Answer: Milan Baros (Czech Republic)

Milan Baros scored five times, ahead of Van Nistelrooy and Rooney (both 4).
8. Before Euro 2004, Greece had never won a single match at the Finals tournament of either the World Cup or the European Championship.

9. Which of these teams was not in the Euro 2004 finals tournament?

Answer: Turkey

World Cup 2002 third-placed Turkey sensationally lost to Latvia in the playoffs (Turkey were second in their qualifying group, behind England).
10. Who scored the first Silver Goal in international soccer history?

Answer: Traianos Dellas (Greece)

It was in the 105th minute of the semi-final against the Czech Republic when Dellas scored with a header from a corner from close range. The silver goal rule says that if a team leads after 105 minutes (half time of extra time), no second half of extra time will be played and the game is over.

Answer: David Beckham and Darius Vassell

Answer: Maniche

Maniche circled a ball from the corner of the box against the inner post of the long corner to score one of the finest goals of the tournament.
13. Which German clubside did Otto Rehhagel NOT manage before he climbed the 'European Mount Olympus' with the Greeks?

Answer: Hamburger SV

Rehhagel won the Bundesliga title with Bremen (twice) and Kaiserslautern (that club had been playing in 2nd division the year before, another of Otto's football miracles). He stayed at Bayern only two seasons before he was sacked.
14. Who scored the winning goal of the tournament?

Answer: Angelos Charisteas

Greece beat Portugal 1-0 in the Final. At his club, 2004 German double-winners Werder Bremen, Angelos Charisteas was only second choice after Brazilian Ailton and Croatian Klasnic (Charisteas also scored the winning goal against France).
