1996, one interesting fact... Czechs were such underdogs even for themselves so Vladimir Šmicer planned his wedding on the time of the knockouts because he didn't count on getting so far with the team. So he had to fly to his homeland, get married and come back for the knockouts.
Greece of 2004 was one of the most clever team in football history.
On extra, they had for coach Otto Rehagel, who on 1995 he promoted Kaiserslautern on first League and the same year celebrated the Bundesliga
He took Kaiserslautern in 1997. in the second division. He won Bundesliga in 1998.
It was rigged
Wales 2016 to the semis
the BIGGEST underdog, yes wales was also an underdog but not as iceland.
Wales have a star player meanwhile Iceland has a has team
Wales was also an underdog, but for Iceland being a much smaller country and eliminating England, they were the biggest underdogs
Wales were carried by Gareth bale, quite a delirious experience being a whales fan, but beating an England with you dele alli and a superstar harry kane that gives them the spot of being the underdog (they also silenced Ronaldo in the group stage lol😅)
Eliminating England is crazy
I can't forget Euro 2004. Greece shocked the world
"But under England's pressure, Danes conceded a penalty" more like sterling showing his inner neymar jr to the world and making the biggest controversy of that euro, and even if that wasn't enough, England fans where using lasers to distract the keeper BUT HE STILL SAVED IT. Unfortunately England scored from the rebound. In that match, Sterling should've gotten a yellow card + the penalty should not have even been awarded in the first place even if Sterling was fouled because there was another ball on the pitch in that action.
Yeah..I felt so happy when England lost in the finals

Euro 2004 has a lot of surprises. Aside from that Greece's historic, big teams like Germany, Italy, and Spain flopped a lot. They didn't make through the quarterfinals after came 3rd in the group. Germany and Spain were the Euro 2008 finalists, while Italy won the World Cup two years later after that disappointing exit, which was controversial because Denmark and Sweden had caused the "Disgrace of Gijon" thing at the same time by playing a stalemate 2-2 draw.
Poland's run in 2016 was pure ecstasy
Bro what? They only beat Northern Ireland and Ukraine. Their win against Switzerland was pure luck
@@holly9494 Yeah, but 1. This was our first time ever to get out of the Euro Group, before the tournament we tought we were just gonna crash out 2.We fought Portugal til the bitter end in pens
@@holly9494there was no luck Poland 2016 was very good they almost won with Portugal
Russia 2008 was at least on par with Turkey. That game against the Netherlands is really legendary
Turkey is shocking
@@Cole_GRE For me they are on the same level. Russia faced a stronger opponent but Turkey's squad was weaker. Don't get me wrong, Turkey did great but knocking out Van der Sar, Sneijder, Van Persie, Van Nistelroy and co is no less shocking
@@kairatgalibek7908 I mean Turkey is terrible
I think It was surprising that Greece won Euro 2004, but I think the Czech Republic's performance was also impressive. Additionally, the Czech squad was excellent .
Both were way to better than what they were portaited by mainstream media. Greece was 6th in the coeffiecient.
This Euro 2024 it’s definitely Georgia, they are already in the round of 16 🇬🇪
probably can include Austria as well...they've been magnificent and top the group
well, sadly they got destroyed in the second half
@@PioterCyganThey still did pretty well against Spain, considering Spain is likely the strongest this year.
I was rooting for Georgia all the way.
@@rafox66 i agree, i was supporting georgia since the start. We could see clearly that when Georgian defense breaks, it cant be fixed up
Slovakia
each 12 years, there will be an underrated team that win Euro since 1992 (may be underrated all times or just right the moments of tournament, not always)
Denmark 1992: qualified into Euro as 2nd position after Yugoslavia got disqualified but Denmark performances were an incredible road to victory: they beated France, drew England, beated Netherlands, Germany
Greece 2004: not in the same situation as Denmark but like same vibe, Greece made it out of GS when winning Portugal (host) drew Spain, and just had more goals than Spain so they were in K.O rounds, they beated France, Czech and Portugal 2nd time to win the Euro 2004
Portugal 2016: OFC the name of the big team but 2016 is the most underrated performances of Portugal all times in all Euros (even Portugal 2021 was scarier), they did not have a good result that they should be better: 3 draws against Austria, Iceland and Hungary, all of their wins in K.o were 1-0 Croatia, 1-1 pen 5-3, 2-0 Wales but they just needed a moment to beated France (host)-who was considered to be stronger in final
My Dad when he watched Croatia against Turkey and when Ivan Klasnić scored for the Win but when Turkey Equalized that was big shock,and the dumbest Penalty taker here were Modric and Rakitic I don't hate them but I had do to say but in 2018 they were Beast in Penalty Shotout
Bravo man! Great video!
Russia 2008 was also a underdog and beat The Netherlands 1-3 in the Quaterfinals
Im from iceland and i still got cards from the euros 2016 ♥
Why you didnt mention Russia As underdog in euros 2008?
Turkeyyy
Because russia sucks

Nect vid idea biggest underdog team of the year 1994-2024
An underdog with Buffon, Barzagli, Bonucci, Chiellini, Pirlo, Marchisio, De Rossi, Cassano and Balotelli... ok.
The biggest underdog in the 2024 euro cup is England because despite playing like absolute garbage they've somehow gotten bailed out with late goals every time and made the finals
But in all seriousness, Georgia deserve recognition for defying all odds and defeating Portugal to advance to the knockout stage in their first ever Euro Cup appearance while being ranked outside of the top 70 in FIFA rankings. They played much better than England this year even if the end result doesn't show it.
Credit to Slovakia as well for an upset win against Belgium in the group stage and very nearly making the quarterfinals, prevented only by a very lucky bounce into the net for England in stoppage time, and also Romania for finishing 1st in that same group.
Wales and Poland also are Underdogs.
Wales wins the group with Russia, England and Slovakia, eliminates Northern Ireland en 1/16, Belgium in Quarter Finals and loses against Portugal, te champions this year.
Poland ends the Group Stage with the same points than Germany but ended second, the other members of the group are Northern Ireland and Ukraine. In 1/16 finals defeat Switzerland in penalties but lost against Portugal in penalties.
Dont think Czech Republic in 2004 was surprising. They had great players, Nedved, Rosicky, Jankulovski, Cech and so on. They played the best football in that tournament in my opinion there..
Greece won it without conceded a goal in knockout stage and no penalty shoutout and also won Portugal(host team) twice.
2024 is Georgia because they made it to the knockout stages
Fact that you mentioned the Czech Republic as an underdog every second Euro could potentially mean that they were not underdogs at all....especially in year 2004, when Czech side was one of the biggest favorites in the tournament. Did you see players playing there? (Koller - BVB, Rosicky - Arsenal, Poborsky - Man Utd, Baros - Liverpool, Ballondor winner Nedved - Juventus, Cech - Chelsea, Ujfalusi - Atletico, Jankulovski - AC Milano, Grygera - Ajax, Smicer - Liverpool, Rozehnal - PSG, Galasek - Ajax......you are talking about Czech team as an underdog? Oh, come on.
I like your voice when you say eliminated
i bet romania is the underdog of euro 2024
2024 - Romania surprised me the most
Portugal 2000 was not an underdog, they were one of the best teams in Europe going to the tournament, the passing game was amazing, maybe I was more easily impressed back then, but I’ve rarely seen a team that linked the passes and game so well.
2008 Russia
Very strong and clever team
Arhavin the best on this tournament
Russia Underdog 2008
For the first time I'd have to say *Greece* has very lucky to face;
Old Luis Figo & young misfit & miss firing CR7
THE UNDERDAWG
1992, we all know what happend in Yugoslavia. If that not happend, Yugoslavia would be champion. They have great team.
Euro 2004, people like to say that Greece were underdogs. I don't think so. They are under rated, still are.
What? Greece in general was never a great team but with Arlight players that can do something to some extend, they had the worst team out of every underdog team, they had no big talents
@@HelloIdkwhatname Greek league was 6th in the coefficient mate. Panathinaikos who had most the national team team players was in cl knockouts every year. Then PAOK,AEK were par on Ajax,Marsaille,benfica in club rankings. Greece in 2004 wasn't much different than portugal now (excluding cr7).
@@PEPE_A I was talking about the Greek National team, and no, Greek national team was worse than Portugal, they had Figo, Rui Costa, Pauleta, Ricardo Calvalho, Deco and more, so not even close, Charisteas was good but nothing compared to the levels of those Players, the same with Giannakopoulos, Zagorakis, Basinas and Karagounis, good players too but nothing out of the ordinary, not exception players, even the video stated that they had to trust each other to win because of the lack of quality compared to more popular national teams, Greece in 2004 was the worst and most underdog team to ever win a euro in the history when it comes to quality of players (in still talking about the national teams)
@@HelloIdkwhatname The Greek national team had 8/11 of the players playing in Panathinaikos (18th team of europe). Most of the team were playing cl every year and had arleady faced/win most of the players you mentioned me in the knockouts. Haristeas wasnt a good player in general, he wasnt even in the top 10 of the Greek players back then, but he was used perfeclty as a target man in the turnament. But I guess cl knockout players are shit if you say so.
You need to understand that there is football below the 4 top leagues as well. A XI with players playing the best team of the 6th league in europe is good enough to do well in a knockout turnament, we had a good manager and some luck as well and we won it.
I find funny the way you thing, beacause most people today find Portugal as favourites to win the euro even thought most of their players play in Porto,Benfica and Sporting.
@@PEPE_A they still have good players like Ruben Diaz, Joa Felix Bruno Fernandez, Cancelo, they are fine but to favourites to win a euro shouldn't be true because France is way better team, and for the wolrd cup, I don't think Portugal will win it because there's better teams out there but they might have a chance to go through the semi finals and keep playing well
Turkey in 2008 was Leverkusen today
poland 2016 quarter finals
"The Danes conceded a penalty"
otherwise know as Raheem Sterling flopped like only he knows how
"But under England's pressure, Danes conceded a penalty" more like sterling showing his inner neymar jr to the world and making the biggest controversy of that euro, and even if that wasn't enough, England fans where using lasers to distract the keeper BUT HE STILL SAVED IT. Unfortunately England scored from the rebound. In that match, Sterling should've gotten a yellow card + the penalty should not have even been awarded in the first place even if Sterling was fouled because there was another ball on the pitch in that action.

England were terrible in the 2016 Euros, Wales were the true underdogs, reached the semi’s beating a very good Belgium side along the way.
Anyone here after France won against Portugal and speed cried because its ronaldos last match
👇
Wales 2016?
Wales had Gareth Bale, a football legend who won 5 UCL with Real Madrid. Iceland is the smallest country and its population, so they're a clear underdogs.
also Russia 2008
@@alkiskosh6536 You can really consider this team as an underdog in Euro 2008. They beat the Netherlands, who won all 3 group games at that time. Plus, some of the Russian players were playing for Zenit Saint Petersburg, who won that same year's UEFA Cup. The most notorious one was Andrei Arshavin.
@@ezraezra2928Russia was kinda good at the time considering they qualified for the 2010 world cup a year later and their squad was notorious but it is for sure still a amazing run sadly not good enough to out up a fight against spain
@@averagesingaporean3 Russia didn't play in the 2010 World Cup, but they should have qualified. The 2nd leg loss at Slovenia was robbed. They were inconsistent since that Euro 2008 run, with the exception of their deep run in 2018 World Cup as a host.
Czech Republic in 96 had great players, not really such an "underdog". And Portugal's 2000's team, seriously?? Portugal had already been in 3rd place in a World Cup and reached the semis of an Euro. Also they had their known "Golden Generation" filled with amazing/world class players, not only they were NOT underdogs but also they could have won the Euro. The previous tournaments had nothing to do with that one and that generation of players. Also, they won 3-0 against Germany in the last group stage game with Portugal's reserves, because Portugal was already qualified ;) "Not competitive", please xD. And also they had one of the best teams in 2016 so no, not an underdog at all. Countries that aren't Spain, Germany and France aren't always underdogs :) P.S.: there isn't a "bronze medal" in Euros, there isn't a game for 3rd/4th place like the World Cup. so no team gets to be "bronze"
Unforgettable
Greece/Ελλάδα 💪
🇬🇷🇬🇷🇬🇷🏆
2004 EURO
Slovenia/Georgia 2024. Czech Republic 1996. Denmark 1992. Romania 2000. Greece 2004. Turkey 2008. Greece/Czech Rep 2012. Wales 2016. Czech Rep 2020.
Italy 2012 is the furthest thing from an underdog. They dominated us in the quarters and our team is overvalued due to Premier League tax.
Slovenia is kinda established, so rn it's Georgia. Let's see how far will Turkiye and Switzerland go
Germany being much more complicated than Croatia , but Croatia won against them at the exact same tournament
I miss 2004 Greek team 😢
Czechia mentioned?🗣️🗣️🗣️🗣️🦅🦅🔥🔥🔥🦅🗣️🗣️🗣️🦅🔥🔥🦅🗣️🗣️
2:32 what are you talking about?Czechoslovakia won the euro in 1976 on penalties with Panenka
3th place in 2008 was Russia, because they lost to Spain who won the Euro, and also had toughest opponents
This year expecting Georgia 🇬🇪🇬🇪
Man, compare the national Ducth team back then and now... Europe is falling apart, and diversity is gone. Now most countries in Europe are just like the States in terms of culture and etnicities.

Also a big underdog, but I had to pick just one
I put a mega dislike,cause of the very wrong pronounsation of "semifinal" word.My head had enough of that + the semifinal between Italy and Germany ended 2-1
Thanks for correcting me! 🙏 Ozil scored a goal at 90+4; forgot to add that

nice video but had to skip your voice was so irritating i stopped watching after 4 minutes
it's too much talking right? Just keep it simple, a brief summary and show us the highlights. And the atrocious English doesn't help much

bro thinks brazillians can speak English fluently
@@averagesingaporean3 I know many that do. He ain't one of them lol
my favorites are both denmark in 1992 and greece in 2004, it's weird seeing random champions
GREECE IS STAR BRO
Poland 2016
Greece was by far the best underdog. They played against big teams and won them. I had never seen a better defence, such passionate players and it was completely impossible to steal the ball from them. Great fighters and terrifying defense! & some players were extremely skillful like Tsartas,he had the best accurate left foot in Europe. El Mago in Sevilla! 👏
@@shareplayx5019 If you watch this Euro again, you will see that Greece was very offensive and defensive at the same time. We could play in 2004 the 5-3-2,which is difficult because we needed to have good players. Anyway we won it once, there are so many national teams that they'd never won it. Like Turkey! Ahahaha.

It Was Unfair
@@PrinceDuarteOfTheSacredKnights If you have faith and if you work hard in your life, nothing is impossible. Those guys had a great talent as well. How many teams nowdays can play such a good defence?
GREECE 2004 is the best of the best of the best underdog ...
If the Czechs won at 96 that would of been their 2nd euro title
2016 was story of underdogs portugal, wales and iceland
Portugal?
@@Pawłos7 ya portugal wasnt a good team back in 2016 neither were favourites they only got a great team again since 2020
@@aganbraganca4156 oh, didnt know the Portugese perspective of things. I always thought Poland was an underdog
To be fair, Portugal only won 1 game within 90 minutes in the tournament. They didn't win all of their group games. Given the fact Euro 2016 is the first Euro to feature 24 teams and the best 3rd place rule, it's still a great achievement.
@@Pawłos7 poland was kind of an underdog as well.
In Euro 2020 the Czech Republic also had a crazy run, taking out the Netherlands (also schick scored from the halfway line against Scotland)
2008 🇹🇷 türkiye last minutes were crazy 🤩🤯
11:18 fact check: actually they finished 4th bc Germany lost to Spain in the finals
Semifinalists in Euro don’t get bronze medals😭🤦♂️
Wales was also a surprise in the 2016 tournament
They still had the best player in form of Gareth Bale. Iceland is a true underdog, as they were the smallest nations with the smallest population.
In 2016 there were 3 actually. Wales, iceland and portugal
2000 it was romania, that qualified from that group
Poland 2016🔥
This year underdog is Georgia
Turkey in 2008 is too much like leverkusen
True hahaha
wonderful video. brings back memories
🙏❤️
Oh really???? How about memories from euro 1988, 1984, 1982????
Imagine if someone bet on Greece winning 😳🤯
