Soccer Euro 2004

Very big shock... 150-1 at the start of the tournament... according to my Euro 2004 guide 'o be eliminated with no points in the group stages'. Well look at them now, winners of Euro 2004! They have performd well though Greece. To be truthful, their attack isn't 'that' grat, but once they get the chance, they counterattack and get their goal, then they defend and defend and defend, mind you they are briliant at the back.

- Greece has not won any games in any major tournament prior to their Euro 2004 campaign

Why do I always have to be wrong?!

I mean come on! Where the heck did they come from and especially beating a team like portugal. ~sighs~ Luckily I didnt bet any money

 

I am very surprised over Greece's victory over Portugal. This shows that a team with no so-what big stars can achieve big things. Greece showed us that working hard, and with a good team spirit you can go far.

Greece desevered this victory. Congrats.

v. pissed.
I watched the game and portugal could have scored twice but crazy guy with two earings missed it twice. Portugal is my team, and find it quite hilarious that greece, the underdogs beyond all underdogs beat portugal a very well formed team with maniche & deco & ferreira.. etc...

 

Must give Grrece the credit. They were highly disciplined and defended very well, in my opinion the best defence of any nation in Euro 2004.

Your so-called 'crazy guy with two ear rings' is called Christiano Ronaldo from Man Utd.
