# Talk:UEFA Euro 2000 final

These are great and a really good addition to WP football articles but they're sometimes spoiled by being wrong.  Italy played with three at the back in this tournament and Dugarry and Henry are the wrong way round; Dugarry was an out-and-out striker and Henry was still in his winger days.  Better representations would be as follows:
ITALY (3-4-1-2): GK Toldo - CB Cannavaro; CB Nesta; CB Iuliani - RWB Pessotto; CM Albertini; CM Di Biagio; LWB Maldini - AM Fiore - CF Delvecchio; SS Totti
FRANCE (4-2-3-1): GK Barthez - RB Thuram; CB Desailly; CB Blanc; LB Lizarazu - DM Vieira; DM Deschamps - RW Djorkaff; AM Zidane; LW Henry - CF Dugarry

Fair enough. I'll doctor the changes now. – PeeJay 19:39, 28 April 2011 (UTC)

We have a bizarre situation with the man of the match award for the Euro 2000 final, in that all the contemporary reports named Thierry Henry as the man of the match, but more recent articles on UEFA.com name Francesco Totti. It seems that Henry was actually the fans' man of the match (decided by a vote during the game), while Totti was selected either by UEFA's expert panel or the host broadcaster (not sure which, but either way, he's the 'official' man of the match). – PeeJay 21:10, 17 June 2015 (UTC)

Yes, strange indeed. Here are some of the conflicting sources:
Henry: [1], [2], [3], [4], [5], [6]
Totti: [7], [8], [9], [10], [11], [12], [13] (lists both of them with 2 MOTM awards, with Totti being listed only once as MOTM prior to the final)

After checking the technical report, it indeed was Henry who won the award. S.A. Julio (talk) 21:05, 6 January 2023 (UTC)

Hello fellow Wikipedians,
I have just added archive links to one external link on UEFA Euro 2000 Final. Please take a moment to review my edit. You may add {{cbignore}} after the link to keep me from modifying it, if I keep adding bad data, but formatting bugs should be reported instead. Alternatively, you can add {{nobots|deny=InternetArchiveBot}} to keep me off the page altogether, but should be used as a last resort. I made the following changes:

UEFA Euro 2000 Group D - can probably just say "Group D". Best Wishes, Lee Vilenski (talk • contribs) 13:26, 3 September 2021 (UTC)
roup stage as runners-up - probably worth saying who behind. Best Wishes, Lee Vilenski (talk • contribs) 13:26, 3 September 2021 (UTC)
Same for group B Best Wishes, Lee Vilenski (talk • contribs) 13:26, 3 September 2021 (UTC)
Probably worth including something from the post-match section in the lede. Best Wishes, Lee Vilenski (talk • contribs) 13:26, 3 September 2021 (UTC)
Perhaps mention Totti won MOTM? Best Wishes, Lee Vilenski (talk • contribs) 13:26, 3 September 2021 (UTC)
All done. The Rambling Man (Keep wearing the mask...) 14:54, 3 September 2021 (UTC)


#### General
The winners of each group then faced the runners-up from the other groups in quarter-finals, the winners progressing to the semi-finals - nitpick, but "the winners" here repeted but refer to different matches. Best Wishes, Lee Vilenski (talk • contribs) 13:33, 3 September 2021 (UTC)
That match represented the last time prior to the 2000 final that the sides had faced one another. - doesn't seem all that notable that both teams hadn't played each other in the last two years. Best Wishes, Lee Vilenski (talk • contribs) 13:33, 3 September 2021 (UTC)
I feel like Totti being MOTM could be in the match summary. Best Wishes, Lee Vilenski (talk • contribs) 13:33, 3 September 2021 (UTC)
noting that "Everybody - caps in middle of sentence. Best Wishes, Lee Vilenski (talk • contribs) 13:33, 3 September 2021 (UTC)
France's manager remarked on his side's determination to hold both the European Championship and World Cup titles - I think it's fair to name him Best Wishes, Lee Vilenski (talk • contribs) 13:33, 3 September 2021 (UTC)
All kind of done bar one, the "last match" between sides is invariably something which is discussed before such games, so I see literally no harm in it being included here.  Also, I added MOTM to the post-match section rather than the match summary.  Somehow, with all the footnotes and confusion over the winner, I neglected to include it in the main body.  But it's there now (and reflected in the lead). The Rambling Man (Keep wearing the mask...) 14:56, 3 September 2021 (UTC)
Lee Vilenski, all done, to your satisfaction I hope.  Let me know.  Cheers, as always, for the review. The Rambling Man (Keep wearing the mask...) 14:56, 3 September 2021 (UTC)
Yeah, ideal. I can see that, althought I would assume two teams wouldn't meet between two big tournaments like this, but it's fine to keep. Some of your best work, I was enjoying the read. Keep 'em coming. Promoting. Best Wishes, Lee Vilenski (talk • contribs) 15:00, 3 September 2021 (UTC)
