File:Tango12.jpg Adidas Tango 12
The official match ball for UEFA Euro 2012 is the Adidas Tango 12 which is designed to be easier to dribble and control than the reported to be unpredictable Adidas Jabulani ball present in the 2010 FIFA World Cup in RPA.
The official melody was composed by Rollo Armstrong of Faithless on behalf of UEFA...
The mascot names were announced in December 2010 after voting on the UEFA website. Almost 40,000 votes were received, leading to the following result:[ 2]
Slavek and Slavko: 56% of votes
Siemko and Strimko: 29%
Klemek and Ladko: 15%
The slogan for UEFA Euro 2012 was chosen on 24 January 2011: Expect Emotions.
The UEFA President Michel Platini stated "It describes in a nutshell what the UEFA Euro 2012 has to offer: all kinds of emotions – joy, disappointment, relief or high tension – right up to the final whistle."[ 3]

Tie-breaking criteria [ edit ]
For the three game group stage of this tournament, where two or more teams in a group tied on an equal number of points , the finishing positions were determined by the record of the tied teams in the games they played against each other in the first instance, then the goals scored and goal difference in all group matches. There was a facility for positions to be determined by a penalty shoot-out if their records were identical and their last match was a draw against each other, but this situation did not arise. Pre-tournament records, disciplinary history and the drawing of lots were also available, but unused, grounds for determining positions.[ 4]
The knockout stage was used for the seven matches in the knockout stage of the tournament.
