The 2004 UEFA European Football Championship was hosted by Portugal. The Czech Republic seemed to be on their way to lifting the Henri Delaunay trophy, but after strong showings against Holland and Germany in the group phase, and Denmark in the quater-finals, they found themselves ousted in the semi-finals by a very defensive Greece, coached by Otto Rehhagel. The Greeks would go on to defeat Portugal in the final.
