UEFA Euro 2008
The 2008 UEFA European Football Championship, commonly referred to as UEFA Euro 2008 or simply Euro 2008, was the 13th UEFA European Football Championship, a quadrennial football tournament contested by European nations. It took place in Austria and Switzerland (both hosting the tournament for the first time) from 7 to 29 June 2008. The second jointly hosted finals in the competition's history, the tournament was eventually won by Spain, defeating Germany 1–0 in the final; becoming only the second nation to win all their group stage fixtures and win the European Championship itself; an accomplishment matched by France in 1984. Spain were also the first team since Germany in 1996 to win the tournament undefeated.
Greece were the defending champions going into the tournament, having won UEFA Euro 2004, the previous competition. They recorded the worst finish in Euro 2008, collecting the least amount of prize money and gaining no points in their three group fixtures. Throughout 31 matches, the participating nations totalled 77 goals, the same as the previous tournament. Austria and Switzerland automatically qualified as hosts; the remaining 14 teams were determined through qualifying matches, which began in August 2006. As European champions, Spain earned the right to compete for the 2009 FIFA Confederations Cup in South Africa.
UEFA Euro 2008 (video game)
UEFA Euro 2008 is the official video game of the Euro 2008 football tournament, published by EA Sports. It was developed collaboratively by EA Canada and HB Studios and was released in Europe and North America on April 18, 2008 and May 19, 2008 respectively. The commentary was provided by Clive Tyldesley and Andy Townsend.
EA issued an apology after mistakenly using the Soldier's Song as Northern Ireland's anthem within the game, instead of God Save The Queen. Public Relations head Shaun White said "we pride ourselves on delivering rich and authentic videogame experiences. We sincerely apologise for this error." The apology was welcomed by Gregory Campbell, Northern Ireland's Sports Minister, who said "Any apology on this matter is most welcome. Obviously there's has been a lack of knowledge on the makers' part and hopefully it will be changed as soon as possible".

This page describes the qualifying procedure for the UEFA Euro 2008.
Qualified teams
Seedings
Qualification coefficients were used to rank the teams according to their results in both UEFA Euro 2004 and FIFA World Cup 2006 qualifying stages. Only the group matches, and not any additional playoffs, counted towards the coefficients, also determining which pot a national team was put in. Some points to note:
Deco
Anderson Luís de Souza (born 27 August 1977), known as Deco, is a retired Portuguese footballer who played as an attacking midfielder.
Deco is one of the few players to have won the UEFA Champions League with two clubs – FC Porto in 2004 and FC Barcelona in 2006. He was named UEFA Club Footballer of the Year and UEFA Best Midfielder in Porto's Champions League-winning season and was named Man of the Match in the 2003–04 Champions League final. Deco was the first player to win the UEFA Best Midfielder Award with two clubs, Porto and Barcelona. He was awarded the 2006 FIFA Club World Cup Golden Ball and the Man of the Match award in the final despite losing to Internacional.
Born in Brazil, Deco received Portuguese citizenship in 2002 having completed five years of Portuguese residence, subsequently opting to play internationally for the Portugal national football team. He earned 75 caps for them, playing at two European Championships and two World Cups.
Deco announced his retirement on 26 August 2013, following a hamstring injury.

A Fine Line Between The Middle
by: DiggerAnd when I think of you
I hope we make it through
And when I think I'm strong
You let me know I'm wrong
Everything we ever did
It somehow complicated it
And somehow now we've lost our grip
You've always had me right where you want me
You, you got me wrapped around your finger
You, you got me hoping this gets better
You, you got me wrapped around your finger
You, you got me hoping this gets better
And when I think of me
And how it used to be
I was so different then
I don't know where to begin
Everything we ever did
And somehow now we've lost our grip
You've always had me right where you want me
You, you got me wrapped around your finger
You, you got me hoping this gets better
You, you got me wrapped around your finger
You, you got me hoping this gets better
(You, always. You, always)
You, you got me wrapped around your finger
You, you got me hoping this gets better
You, you got me wrapped around your finger
You, you got me hoping this gets better
You, you got me wrapped around your finger
You, you got me hoping this gets better
You, you got me wrapped around your finger
You, you got me hoping this gets better
You, you got me wrapped around your finger
