Euro 2004: Group by Group
June 12, 2004Advertisement
The qualification stages are a minefield for the teams looking to navigate their way to the knock-out section of the European Championships. With three points awarded for a win, one for a draw and, of course, none for losing, one slip could put your team at the bottom of the group with a mountain to climb.
Only two teams from each of the four groups go through to the quarter-finals where the top teams face the runners-up. That means the winner of Group A will play the second placed team from Group B; the winner of Group B plays the runner-up from Group A and so forth.
To help identify possible outcomes, DW-WORLD has run the slide rule over the four qualification groups.
