    Here's A Fact !!

    Since the European Championship adopted its present format in 1980 only one nation has successfully won its own tournament and that was France in 1984 .

    I take the point England hasn't hosted the tournament but we are playing the final at Wembley and played all but one game there so in affect it's been a massive advantage .

    1980 hosts Italy , winners Germany .

    1984 France , France .

    1988 Germany , Netherlands .

    1992 Sweden , Denmark .

    1996 England , Germany .

    2000 Netherlands & Belgium , France .

    2004 Portugal , Greece

    2008 Austria & Switzerland , Spain

    2012 Poland & Ukraine , Spain

    2016 France , Portugal
