The main rival for the 2004 European Championship was Turkey, who had performed well in the previous World Cup. England faced some challenges, including goalkeeper David Seaman's surprising performance in the game against Macedonia, which marked his farewell from the team. Despite this, England won six out of seven matches in the qualifying rounds, with their crucial victory against Turkey being particularly significant. In the European Championship, England faced France in their opening match, where they took the lead through Frank Lampard but eventually lost 2-1 due to late goals from Zinédine Zidane. They won their remaining group matches against Switzerland and Croatia, with Wayne Rooney making notable contributions. In the quarter-final against Portugal, England faced challenges, losing Rooney to injury early in the game. The match ended 2-2 after extra time, with controversy surrounding referee Urs Meier's decisions. The penalty shootout saw England's David Beckham missing a crucial penalty, leading to Portugal's victory.
