Introduction
The UEFA European Football Championship, commonly known as the Euro, is one of the most prestigious football (or soccer for our American readers) tournaments in the world. It has been held every four years since 1960 and is contested by the top national teams from Europe. In this article, we will explore the history of England and Denmark's participation in the Euro.
England's Euro History
England, one of the most successful football nations in the world, has a storied history in the Euro. Their debut appearance in the tournament was in 1968, where they lost to Yugoslavia in the semi-finals. England's best performance in the Euro came in 1996 when they hosted the tournament. The Three Lions reached the semi-finals, where they lost to arch-rivals Germany on penalties. England's last appearance in the Euro was in 2016, where they were knocked out by Iceland in the round of 16, one of the biggest upsets in football history.
Denmark's Euro History
Denmark's first appearance in the Euro was in 1964, where they failed to make it past the quarter-finals. Their best performance in the tournament came in 1992, where they were surprise winners. After failing to qualify for the tournament, Denmark was called in as a replacement for Yugoslavia, who was banned due to political unrest. Despite being huge underdogs, Denmark defied all odds to win the tournament, beating Germany in the final. Denmark's last appearance in the Euro was in 2012, where they failed to make it past the group stage.
England vs Denmark in Euro History
England and Denmark have faced each other three times in the Euro, with England winning one and the other two matches ending in draws. Their first encounter was in 1984, where they drew 1-1 in the group stage. Their next meeting came in the quarter-finals of Euro 2000, where they drew 3-3 after extra time, with England advancing on penalties. Their most recent encounter was in the group stage of Euro 2004, where England won 3-0.
Conclusion
In conclusion, England and Denmark have a rich history in the Euro, with both teams having enjoyed success in the tournament. While England has been more consistent in their performances, Denmark's surprise win in 1992 remains one of the greatest underdog stories in football history. We look forward to seeing both teams battle it out in the Euro 2020 (now 2021 due to the pandemic) tournament and see if either team can make a deep run or even go all the way to lift the trophy.
