Greece's Traianos Dellas decribes Angelos Charisteas's goal in the UEFA EURO 2004™ final against Portugal:
"I was in the Portuguese box for the corner too. Angelos Charisteas is an expert in the air - he has scored many headers. Truth be told, I think his header against France was even more spectacular, because it was like a whip - as strong as a shot. Anyway, in the final, the corner was very well delivered by [Angelos] Basinas. It was one of those times where everything falls into place with perfect timing and excellent co-ordination and taking advantage of our opponents' errors. But most important is that this goal was scored in a final - it led to a title. We grew in confidence after that goal. We didn't feel the need to defend in numbers until the end of the match."
Portugal forward Nuno Gomes speaks about João Pinto's diving header for Portugal against England at UEFA EURO 2000™:
"After a great goal by [Luís] Figo - who helped us to reduce the score to 2-1 - we put England under pressure and went after the 2-2. Near half-time we had the ball out on the right wing and I saw João [Pinto] moving inside the box with an opposition player nearby. Rui Costa delivered the cross and João made a perfect dive with the ball going in at the far post."
Swedish striker Marcus Allbäck played alongside Henrik Larsson at UEFA EURO 2004™ and gives his verdict on Larsson's flying header against Bulgaria in the tournament:
"It was in a way a trademark goal from Henke. [Erik] Edman came running down the left flank and put in a pinpoint, perfect pass, but Henke showed his awareness, the way he always knows where the ball will end up, and his flying header was pure perfection. It was a great goal by a great player."
