2004 was the European Championship of the Golden Generation.
The hosts Portugal and also Netherlands had two eras combining to create interesting dynamics, the esteemed nations of Germany, France and Italy experienced the final days of their empires, Spain were busy preparing to start their own empire and the plucky little English had a young squad seemingly destined for the very top.
But would it make for a great spectacle? It was certainly UNBELIEVABLE, as the title suggests.

UEFA had piloted the 16-team games in England, naturally, and it had done okay. Nostalgia aside, it was a serviceable tournament but nothing to write home about from a neutral standpoint.
Now though, modern football was really here. We had all your favourites: from Zinedine Zidane and Luis Figo to Raul and Francesco Totti. It was the new millennium, optimism was in the air, two countries spread the load of what had finally become a true festival of football as UEFA try to paint it in their sickly colours. This is EURO 2000: the greatest ever?

Modern football was here. The Premier League and Champions League were in full voice, the world game had been taken to the States and produced the last 24-team World Cup to grand acclaim. The ball was now in UEFA's court, and they were determined to
one-up FIFA.
They brought the game back to its roots and set about making the Euros bigger and grander than ever. Would the tournament that is consistently peppered onto the screens of every British television every two years live up to the rose-tinted spectacles that has reigned unabated for the past quarter century? This EURO 96: The Nostalgia Euros.

Italia ’90 was the cornerstone for so many football fan. The sport was a completely different ball game as the summer of 1992 turned up with the Champions League's star ball under one arm and the Premier League lion under the other arm.
In this rapidly changing world of football, would the European Championships be able to co-exist with the same drama and the same quality? This film, The Wildcard Euros, hopes to explain the sheer chaos that was EURO 92.

Seemingly, the only way was down for UEFA, after they had staged the immaculate and perhaps greatest ever European Championships four years prior in 1988.
This was a gloomy time for the European game, that lived in the day-to-day strife of hooliganism and still existed under the cloud of the Heysel disaster. Remaining within the confines of eight teams, there was probably the fear that having 25% of the tournament's field polluted with teams from the British Isles might soil the good name the competition had developed.
Could EURO ’88 live up to the hype?

The Euros was on its deathbed.
It seems hard to believe now, what with the incessant wall-to-wall coverage, build-up, hype and money that goes into the Euros these days. However, UEFA had just suffered humiliation in staging a cagey, defensive Jose Mourinho wet dream of a tournament in Italy. They desperately needed to re-shape the image of the Euros, or risk its premature death.
This is the story of EURO 1984.

UEFA had their tails up. They'd overseen quite possibly one of the greatest football tournaments ever bequeathed to the sport and now they believed they could make the competition even better by expanding the field.
It made sense: there were more than four elite countries in European football, and a more inclusive game surely made for a better one. Or so UEFA thought. What they actually did was nearly kill the competition before it ever truly got going.

The European Championship is a monster of a competition. Second only to the World Cup and Champions League, every four years 24 nations come together to decide who will become the best in Europe. Billions watch, millions cram into the stadia. But it wasn't always this way.

This summer, the Euros will of course be held in Germany after that batshit idea 3 years ago to still stage it continent-wide in the midst of a pandemic.
