Twice in one tournament...

[16bha]

Italy face Spain for the second time at Euro 2012 tomorrow night. How many times will two teams have played each other twice at the same tournament before?

Hungary and Germany 1954 WC is one

 

[Colossal Squid]

The finals of Euro 2004 started and ended with exactly the same game: Portugal vs Greece

 

[brightn'ove]

Portugal and greece were in the same group in 2004

 

[The Buttery Biscuit Base]

Germany vs. Czech Republic at Euro 96

Italy vs. Poland at Spain 82.

It is very common...

 

[Del Boy]

Possibly Portugal and Greece in 2004?

 

[bn1&bn3 Albion]

I think Portugal and Greece in 04

 

[Braders]

Think Portugal and Greece did in '04

 

[Garage_Doors]

Didn't Portugal and Greece do it in 2004?

 

[Jim D]

Holland and Russia in Euro 88 played in the group and again in the final (I think Russia won the first and Holland, of course, won the final)

 

[mrbigshot]

I'm not sure, but I think Portugal and Greece 2004

Euro 2004 started and ended with the same teams playing out the same result. Would be helpful if someone could name them on this thread!

 

[Marxo]

I wonder if all 4 semi-finalists coming from just 2 groups has happened before, if there was a play-off for 3rd there'd be another match being duplicated.

Brazil v Turkey in 2002

[perth seagull]

[KJP]

Portugal and Greece from 2004. Shocked no one has mentioned that yet

 

[Muzzy]

Nope, you got me on that one... I don't recall it ever happening previous to this tournament!

Can someone enlighten me please?

 

[PILTDOWN MAN]

From memory can't believe that such a thing would have happened, ever!
