So who finished 3rd in Euro2008

[farhad]

There must be a 3rd place finish, how come they do it in world cup but not in european championship?

Only the winner is important.

I have never seen the point in the match for third place, nobody wants to finish third.
Both losing semi-finalists take third place, a third place match hasn't been played since 1980

I wish they would do away with it at the world cup and all.Where's the motivation for finishing 3rd after losing in the semi finals?

I think it's a good idea actually, just to know the top 3. If there was Turkey-Russia, Russia would have won anyway.

I would of prefer Turkey, they make big games entertaining to watch than Russia.
