If their fortunes could not have differed more greatly from four years ago, something similar could be said for Spain. • Spain drew 1-1 with Greece in their second outing at UEFA EURO 2004™ before a 1-0 defeat by Portugal then sent them spinning out of the tournament. Luis Aragonés's team, by contrast, made sure of their quarter-final place with a game to spare on Saturday after a last-gasp victory against Sweden. • David Villa's 92nd-minute goal snatched three points against Sweden after Zlatan Ibrahimović (34) had cancelled out Fernando Torres' 15th-minute opener. Villa built on his opening-game exploits against Russia, scoring a hat-trick (20, 44, 75) before Cesc Fàbregas (90+1) registered his first international goal in a 4-1 triumph. • Spain went into the teams' UEFA EURO 2004™ meeting in Porto as favourites and took a 28th-minute lead through Fernando Morientes, but a 66th-minute Angelos Charisteas strike earned Greece a share of the spoils.

  • Nation, Football, and Critical Discourse Analysis
    Scoring a hat tri: Nation, football, and critical discourse analysis Mariza Georgalou Lancaster University* Abstract Media sport constitutes a significant arena within whi discourses about national identities are continually articulated (Blain et al. 1993). is study analyses the football commentaries of the mates in whi the Greek national football team competed during Euro 2004. Its focus is on the discursive means that the sportscasters deployed with a view to constructing a national identity that promoted unification and solidarity amongst the audience. In parallel, it explores how the representatives of this national collectivity, i.e., the footballers, their coa and the fans, were depicted. Adopting a discourse-historical framework (Reisigl and Wodak 2001, Wodak et al. 1999), it becomes evident that the sportscasters show great support for their home team forging points of identification with the audience (Blain et al. 1993). In doing so, they confirm the ideological power that media sport has in generating, reinforcing and disseminating national identities. Keywords: discourse analysis, sports, identity 1 More than a mere game By being placed on the ba page of newspapers or at the end of news coverage, sport seems to belong to a world of its own, away from the seriousness aaed to political maers (Beard 1998). Its strong associations with recreation have led several people to claim that sport is outside the essential ingredients that make up culture. However, this is only partly true as apart from the physical relaxation and sense of escaping from reality offered by sport, its competitive nature is inevitably linked to the complex systems of human behavior, namely society (Beard 1998).

  • FC Barcelona V Panathinaikos FC PRESS KIT
    FC Barcelona v Panathinaikos FC PRESS KIT Camp Nou, Barcelona Wednesday, 2 November 2005 - 20:45 CET Group C - Matchday 4 The first match between the clubs in Athens on 18 October saw Panathinaikos FC end FC Barcelona's 100 per cent UEFA Champions League record this season with a 0-0 draw, a result that has also left the Greek club in a challenging position in the group table. Both clubs will now be looking for a positive showing to increase their chances of qualifying for the knockout stages. First meeting •The teams have met once previously in UEFA competition, when each won their home game in the quarter-finals of the 2001/02 UEFA Champions League. •In the first leg in Greece, Panathinaikos took a narrow 1-0 lead with a penalty from Angelos Basinas after 79 minutes. And it was the Greek side who immediately added to their advantage at Camp Nou when Michalis Konstantinou scored inside eight minutes of the second leg. •However, Barcelona fought back, Luis Enrique scored either side of half-time and Javier Saviola added the third just after the hour, meaning the Catalan club squeezed through to the semi-finals with a 3-2 aggregate margin. Four wins from four •Despite a European pedigree stretching back to December 1955, Barcelona are playing host to a Greek club for only the fifth time. Having been beaten 1-0 at PAOK FC, then PAOK Saloniki, in the first round of the 1975/76 UEFA Cup, Barça turned on the style in the return, running out 6-1 winners.

  • Het Toernooi Van 2004 Verslag
    EURO 2004 Lange tijd zag het er naar uit dat Spanje de organisatie van Euro 2004 zou krijgen. Ze hadden een indrukwekkende campagne opgezet, hadden goede stadions en infrastructuur, een rijke voetbaltraditie en ervaring (EK 1964, WK 1982). Een aanbod van Portugal om samen voor de organisatie van de eindronde te gaan, werd van de hand gewezen, waarna de Lusitaniërs besloten op eigen kracht verder te gaan. De concurrenten Portugal en Oostenrijk/Zwitserland leken weinig kans te maken. Bij een eerste stemming kreeg Spanje elf van de zestien stemmen. Maar binnen de UEFA kregen de ‘kleinere’ landen steeds meer steun. Op 11 oktober 1999 kwam een verrassende uitslag bij de definitieve stemming in het Eurogresszentrum in Aachen: Spanje kreeg slechts vier stemmen, Oostenrijk/Zwitserland twee en Portugal tien! De kleintjes waren de groten de baas, hun macht leek tanende. De UEFA kreeg veel bijval door de conservatieve houding los te laten en nieuwe wegen in te slaan. In Spanje was de teleurstelling uiteraard groot. Onder aanvoering van de Bask Angel Villar had men zich vrij zeker gevoeld over de toewijzing, des te groter was de schok van de nederlaag. Voor de start Het rommelde flink in de Europese voetbalwereld. Het Bosman-arrest, de waanzinnige bedragen voor tv-rechten (en internet), het faillissement van ISL etc. Clubs als Real Madrid zaten diep in de schulden. De kleine landen wilden meer macht, het idee om ze voor het EK en WK in voorrondes te elimineren wisten ze te blokkeren. Sportief leek de Europese voetbalwereld op zijn kop te staan. Europees- en wereldkampioen Frankrijk scoorde op het WK 2002 geen enkele goal en werd door oud- kolonie Senegal vernederd.
