Why aren t there any third or fourth places in the European Championships?

Not only is there no third-place battle in the European Championships, but even the UEFA Champions Cup, the League Cup, including the previously banned Cup Winners' Cup, there is no third-place match, because in the eyes of Europeans who value efficiency, the semi-finals are eliminated, and it makes little sense to fight for third and fourth. Because after all, it is not the third place in the Olympic Games, and there is also a medal problem.

Although there is no third-place competition in the European Championships, whenever a major football event ends, it is necessary to rank the most ranked teams in the competition, and there is the question of the third-place winner.

The calculation rules are generally calculated in this way, the champion and runner-up have been determined, and the remaining 14 teams are first evaluated according to the stage entered by the country, that is, the third place and the fourth place must be the two teams that were eliminated in the semi-finals. The second principle is to calculate the total number of points obtained by the team in the group stage and the knockout stage, 3 points for a win, 1 point for a draw, and it is worth noting that the promotion or elimination through a penalty shootout is still calculated according to 1 point, which is regarded as a draw. According to such a point rule, it is easy to calculate the attribution of third and fourth place, and if the points are the same, the small points such as goal difference and goals are compared.

Teams eliminated from the fifth to eighth and group stage are counted according to the same rules as above.

The tournament was cancelled because the organizers decided that the third and fourth places were the two teams that were rejected from the finals, and that it was torture for the team members to play and that it did not mean much.

It is the third place in Europeans, and it is not interesting, so there is no third place battle. As a result, there is no third-place match in all official European competitions.

Other continents have third place establishments.

Think about it, if you don't even decide one or two places, then what kind of European Cup? So, there were only three or four finals

There are a total of 16 teams, what else is the name, do you think it is the Chinese team, the goal is the top 16. 32 strong.

Semi-finals: Portugal.

Germany, Netherlands. Spain** Champion: Germany.

**Runner-up: Spain.

**Third place: Portugal.

**Runner-up: Netherlands.

Germany in the top half of the country for the fourth time in the top of Europe, or the Netherlands and Spain in the bottom half.

Quarterfinals: Portugal.

Czech Republic, Germany. Croatia.

Italy, Netherlands.

Spain, Russia.

Germany, the Netherlands, Italy, Spain, and only Portugal and the Czech Republic were able to threaten the wheels of the German chariot in the upper half of the region. In the second half, due to the shortcomings of the European Championship schedule, no matter who qualifies from the group, it is impossible for the above two teams to enter the final at the same time.

The UEFA European Football Championship ( Chinese mainland , Hong Kong , European Cup , European Champions League , European Champions League , UEFA ) is the highest level of national football competition between UEFA member countries, held for the first time in 1960 and every four years since. The tournament was founded as the European Nations Cup, which was renamed the European Football Championship in 1968.

In order for all UEFA member countries to participate in the final week of the European Football Championship, except for the host country, which automatically qualifies for the final week, the other teams must participate in the qualifiers, through which the best team can qualify for the final week. The tournament started with only four teams, but in 1980 the number of teams increased to eight, and the final week was moved from the knockout stage to the group stage. In 1996, the number increased to 16 teams and has remained so ever since.

At present, the European Football Championship consists of 16 teams divided into 4 groups of 4 teams each, each group has a single round-robin format, and the best team in each group can qualify for the semi-finals. Both the semi-finals and semi-finals will be decided by one game until the winner is determined in the final, but the defending champion will not automatically qualify for the next European Championship final week. The 2012 European Football Championship was held in Poland and Ukraine.

On 26 September 2008, the European Football Federation (UEFA) announced that from 2016 onwards, the number of teams participating in the final stage of the UEFA European Football Championship would be expanded to 24 teams.

Because the European Football Championship is second only to the World Cup in terms of scale and quality, it is known as the World Cup without Brazil and Argentina. The dramatic results of the previous editions are also the reason for its popularity. Although the history is much shorter than that of the World Cup, and the frequency of holding is lower than that of most other international competitions, the European Football Championship is the only international competition that has appeared after the final week with all the different winning methods, including replays, 12-yard shots, ** goals, silver goals, throws, etc., all the winning methods that have been used by FIFA and often appear in the final, which fully demonstrates the peak and attractiveness of the European Football Championship.

As of 2012, Spain became the first team to successfully defend the European Football Championship.

Firmly believe: optimistic that Germany will win the European Cup for the fourth time!

Big hits. Portugal.

Netherlands. It's been out one after another. A: Yes.

Tuerqing is resistant to reeds though.

The magic continues, but I can't see the Germanic chariot. [Germany advanced to the final 3:2] Russia.

There is nothing to say about the strength is not strong but the physical strength is good, against Spain, although the physical strength is good, but the Spanish ball control is really good, Spain should be able to advance to the final. [Spain 3:0 Russia].
