UEFA Euro 2004 Final
- ... that Greece won the UEFA Euro 2004 Final despite never having previously won a match at a major tournament? Source: BBC Sport: "Greece had never won a match at the final stages of an international tournament before Euro 2004"
- ALT1:... that Greece won the UEFA Euro 2004 Final despite pre-tournament bookmaker odds of 150–1? Source: BBC Sport: "And yet still, Greece were thought of as outsiders, at odds of 150-1 coming into the tournament."
5x expanded by Amakuru (talk). Self-nominated at 10:32, 5 September 2021 (UTC).
Article appears to meet expansion requirements, no close paraphrasing found, QPQ done. The first hook is probably the best option, but the hook wording doesn't really match the BBC source (even though it's factually correct); the hook says Greece had never won a match in a major tournament, while BBC says they never won in a "finals" (I'm aware that "Finals" and "major tournaments" are synonyms in football, see the World Cup, it's just that laymen may find that wording confusing). If possible, could a second source mentioning the "major tournament" wording be added to the article as well? Narutolovehinata5 (talk · contributions) 10:02, 6 September 2021 (UTC)
- @Narutolovehinata5: I have added a new source, [1] which says exactly that about them never winning a game. Cheers — Amakuru (talk) 15:06, 6 September 2021 (UTC)
Thanks. I see no issues with the article anymore, so we should be good to go with ALT0. I note that the article's also been nominated for GA, so good luck on that! Narutolovehinata5 (talk · contributions) 15:12, 6 September 2021 (UTC)
- @Narutolovehinata5: thanks, and yes that's right. Also, if the GA is successful I'm hoping to push this one up to FAC in the next day or two. If you have any more detailed feedback than the DYK check, then an FA review there would be gratefully received! — Amakuru (talk) 15:24, 6 September 2021 (UTC)
