ons after a perfect and subtle penalty scored by An- tonin Panenka. In front of a packed Marakana Sta- dium in Belgrade, he “lobbed” the ball, prompted the goalkeeper to throw himself to the side and scored a fantastic goal. And this style of shooting a penal- ty in football has been called a “Panenka” ever since. Germany and Spain hold the record for titles won, with three each, while Portugal are the current champions, having won their first title with Cristiano Ronaldo. But what makes the EUROs special is that something unimaginable always happens at the tour- nament, something that hasn‘t happened anywhere else. How else can one refer to a situation in which Yugoslavia was suspended from competing in 1992, only for Denmark to compete in its place (the play- ers were already on their holidays) and for the Danes to become champions?! ere is also the miraculous phenomenon of the Greeks, who unexpectedly be- came champions in 2004, and the volley of Marco Van Basten, which is included in every highlights reel and is barely explainable in terms of physics. Or the merry-go-round of Michel Platini, who brought the title to France in 1984 with goals in the closing min- utes of matches... It is because of all of this that we love football, and we know that a championship that included Ser- bia would be far more special! Because that‘s where we belong!
