Norway
Deserve every credit for qualifying for the first time in their history, particularly after losing their opening game 3-1 to Latvia. But their presence in the finals is no fluke. A remarkably consistent year saw them remain unbeaten in competitive football.
Recent European Championship record:
Euro 96: did not qualify
Euro 92: did not qualify
Euro 88: did not qualify
