There is history for the little teams though - Denmark 1992 (who didn't even qualify for the finals) and Greece 2004.

I've heard the 12 year gap mentioned a few times in these Euros, looks like its total ballcocks!

Didn't realise that. Go back to 1980 and Belgium reached the final. They weren't really a big side back then. Not sure who won in 68 but I remember reading we were knocked out of the semis.

Fonte and Cedric on their way to the final. Neither Payet nor Ozil scored against us this season...

Greece in 2004 hacked their way to the final and got a succession of rather favourable refs...... they were that bad in that tournament, they became known as the only underdogs no one ever wanted to win.

Denmark... cant remember that

Cedric's used to it, fortunately. He finishes so many games for us with a bandaged head.
