    Was it not yesterday, I googled Spain v Denmark and it came up 2-0 to Spain


    Scratch that, they’ll be no 3rd 4th play off this year

    Don't think there's ever been a 3rd place play off in euros.

    We’ll probably manage to finish fourth anyway.

    Well I'm not sure why because the 3rd place play off was scrapped in the euros in 1980.

    Sunday Time probably assumed that as it was an opportunity to screw a few more quid out of Fans, and TV, UEFA would be bound to re-instate it.

    Apparently the only major international competition to not have one… Something UEFA actually got right!
