In a thrilling final, Portugal beat hosts France by the score of 1-0 after extra time. Only Quaesitor and Artifex gained a point each for guessing that the team in France's slot would score 0 goals. Artifex gained an extra 3 points, as her team Portugal won the championship. Now, even though the scores showed a clear winner, we needed to double check with the TSzAL Electoral College. This four month process resulted in procrastination, as a trophy was handed out on September 7th. The trophy, which can be seen above, is the official trophy for all TSzAL Euro competitions. It is dubbed the Niko Kovac Infinite Smile Trophy. Now onto the final standings.
