Answer: 5-0

Sweden beat Bulgaria 5-0, including a wonderful flying header by Henrik Larsson.

4. Which team won all three of their group games?

9. Which of these teams was not in the Euro 2004 finals tournament?

Answer: Turkey

10. Who scored the first Silver Goal in international soccer history?

Answer: Traianos Dellas (Greece)

It was in the 105th minute of the semi-final against the Czech Republic when Dellas scored with a header from a corner from close range. The silver goal rule says that if a team leads after 105 minutes (half time of extra time), no second half of extra time will be played and the game is over.

Answer: Angelos Charisteas
