Euro 2004

We’re back with series three of Let’s Be Having You - and we are joined by Matt Forde, to continue our journey with England through the 00’s. We pick up in 2002 following England’s exit from the World Cup at the quarter-final stage, and see the emergence of a generational talent - remember the name - Wayne Rooney! Was David Beckham actually shit at penalties?! We talk about that, as well as Rooney making us all believe that England’s time had finally come at Euro 2004.

Welcome back to The Overlap’s football history podcast, It Was What It Was. In Part One, journalists Jonathan Wilson and Rob Draper set the scene for the Euro 2004 knockout stages. Now, we delve into the life of Greece manager Otto Rehhagel, who orchestrated one of football’s greatest miracles at Euro 2004. The tournament was a landmark for many nations, especially England, who dramatically lost on penalties to hosts Portugal in a thrilling match after Sven Goran-Eriksson’s star 18-year-old Wayne Rooney was injured. Jonathan and Rob provide an in-depth look at the knockout stages, detailing how Greece astonishingly dethroned France, then defeated the Czech Republic in silver-goal extra time, before beating Portugal for the second time in the competition, having never previously won at a major international tournament.
