Latvia's Golden Summer: Euro 2004's 'other' underdog story - a podcast by The Football Pink

Greece's unlikely victory at Euro 2004 is one of the greatest underdog stories of all time - but Otto Rehhagel's side were not the only nation to upset the apple cart that summer. Host Roddy Cairns (@RoddyGCairns) is joined by Andrew Haines (@AndrewHaines98) and Thomas Duncan (@thomasduncan94) to recount the story of a national team who had no business even being on the plane to Portugal, a tiny country where football lags behind ice hockey and basketball which managed to drag itself away onto the world stage after years of footballing embarrassment. This is the story of Latvia, Euro 2004’s 'other' underdog story.
