Despite a huge number of chances and the majority of the ball however, the Dutch found themselves on the end of a 1-0 defeat that shocked the footballing community. Did You Know? If you had backed the Danes to win the game, a £10 bet would have netted you an impresive £160 (Odds at 16/1 on Betfair.com) STATS: SPAIN Spain are the first Iker Casillas equalled Spain averaged 681.6 team to defend their Edwin Van Der Sar's passes per game at Euro 2012, over 100 more than they did at the 2010 World Cup & the most since 1980 Euro Title and the record for clean sheets at the European first European team to win three major Championships (nine tournaments in a row clean sheets in total) Spain have not conceded a goal in their last 990 minutes of major tournament knockout games, a run that began at Euro 08 Spain conceded just one goal as they won the Euro 2012 Championships, fewer than any winner since the 1980 tournament Andres Iniesta has had more shots on target without scoring than any player in European Championship history (11) During the whole tournament Spain conceded 16 shots on Against Portugal, Xavi overtook Zidane (843) as the player to have made the most passes in Euro history, with 949 passes Spain's 4-0 victory over Italy in the 2012 decider was the target - 10 of those were in the two games against the Italians biggest win by a side in a Euro Championship or World Cup final Spain striker Fernando Torres is the only players to have scored in two separate Del Bosque is the first manager to have managed a team to victory in the World Cup, Euros and the Champions League Spain managed 75.9% possession in the game against Ireland, the highest possession seen in a Euro match since 1980 European Championship finals Against Ireland, Spain made 860 passes, completing a record 788 - numbers never Xavi made 136 passes and completed 127 in the game against Ireland - a European Championship finals passing record Spain have reached the final on all five occasions that they have played in a semi- final at a major seen before in Euro Championship finals tournament STATS: ITALY Striker Mario Balotelli Italy attempted 36 shots in their quarter final against England.

During their quarter final defeat to Italy, England's most successful pass combination was Joe Hart (keeper) to Andy Carrol (striker) - the Liverpool frontman didn't even come on until the hour mark. BEST GAME ROUSDI BC Vs 1889 Denmark 2 - 3 Portugal Although this one is down entirely to personal preference, few games were quite as exciting as Portugal's incredibly tight victory over a resurgent Danish team who narrowly missed qualification from the tournament's toughest group. Five goals, a hatful of missed chances and a last gasp winner combined with some brilliant football made this group game our choice for best game of Euro 2012. Other notable games included England's first competitive victory over Sweden (3-2), Italy's shock semi-final win over the Germans (2-1), the record-breaking Spanish victory over Italy in the final (4-0) and the electric game between co-hosts Poland and group favourites Russia BIGGEST FLOPS CHALKIAS (GREECE) HOLEBAS (GREECE) O'SHEA (IRELAND) HEITINGA (HOLLAND) DUDKA (POLAND) YOUNG (ENGLAND) ROBBEN (HOLLAND) MCGEADY (IRELAND WHELAN (IRELAND) COX (IRELAND) KEANE (IRELAND) Players picked according to Goal.com's 20 worst players of Euro 2012 Other players to make the team could have included: Given (Ireland), Andrews (Ireland), Fortounis (Greece), Wasilewki (Poland).
