We arrive at 2004, the year of Frankee and Eamonn's musical back and forth, the blackberry, and one of the most unexpected tournaments in Euros history.

We're in Portugal where there are teams on the up, like England, and teams on the down, like Germany. And this time there's a dark horse that no one expects will actually do anything apart from enjoy being there. How we never learn.

This is Euro 2004 brought to you by the voices that lived and breathed it from across the continent.

Teams:

Group A: Greece, Portugal, Russia, Spain

Group B: Croatia, England, France, Switzerland

Group C: Bulgaria, Denmark, Italy, Sweden

Group D: Czech Republic, Germany, Latvia, Netherlands

Voices:

Host: Iain Macintosh

Guests: Elko Born, David Cermak, Rafael Honigstein, Lynsey Hooper, James Horncastle, Themis Kessaris, Tom Kundert, and Julien Laurens
