Back to the main Euro 2008 page.
Why do I get a feeling that That woman’s fugly :-/ If not, is she single? If not, does she have a sis?
Raised my hopes
Cheers for the Stats
thansk for the stats .. the image of the girl was very distracting lol
Good set of stats! Surprised to see the Dutch in second place on the all time rankings
From the list of teams with most players, Manchester United has to be the biggest absent notice.
I should point out I had nothing to do with the girl picture. That’s Ahmed’s (who else?) doing.
United has 5 representatives.
Thought the dry stats needed some visual balance

I am surprised that Lothar Matthaeus only has a couple Euro matches since he was in 5 world cups!
Does anyone know why so few euro matches?
Lothar:
Appeared in World Cups: ‘82, ‘86, ‘90, ‘94′, ‘98
Appeared in Euro: ‘80, ‘84, ‘88, 2000
He did alright
He was injured, did not take part in Euro 92. He was not called up for Euro 96 as he had some feud with Klinsmann (who succeeded him as captain) and the coach Berti Vogts. Those Efficient gggeeerrrmans won Euro 96 by the way
He was two minutes away from a ‘99 Champions League Medal [only major honor that eluded him] before my almighty Red Devils
scored two goals in injury time to beat his side.
