| | UEFA European Football Championship - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | The tournament is considered the second-most important competition among national teams, based on European and worldwide fame, after the FIFA World Cup. |
 | | Specific championships are often referred to in the form "Euro 2008" or whichever year is appropriate. |
 | | The qualifying phase is done in groups, each effectively a mini league, where the highest ranked team, after all the teams have played each other home and away, progresses to the finals tournament, as with most leagues, the points are dealt as three for a win, one for a draw, and none for a loss. |
