    Kick peopl... what? :mellow:

    You know, i'm sick of that. First of all,we've beaten Portugal twice, so there's NO WAY you can tell us we were lucky. Call it the Portugueses' stupidity, our GK's skill, our defense's skill, but it is not luck. I've never met a team that was able to beat Portugal twice, draw with Spain, win France and Czech, despite all predictions.

    And what do you mean by "outplayed"? Having the ball at their feet and not being able to pass it anywhere near the goal post only made our defense look stronger, something proven by the fat that we are the team that received the least goals throughout the whole tournament ;)

    @Reyes: apology accepted man, it's OK ;)

    I understand why you think Greece is the best. If Holland would win from Portugal by a own goal, i would say that Holland was playing like their lifes were depending on it. Its normal to say that. And that was just a lucky goal by Chrissomethingicantspell. If it was a attacker who started running from the midfeild, i should say that Greece was great. But it was just jumping from a cornor and hope that the balls comes behind the goalkeeper.



    Hehe..

    IMO, Greece were not lucky to beat all the teams that they beat, They were great and this showed last night.

    Well done Greece you deserved it

    Erm. Big Bad Fan: Football was made in England and god I can't believe I'm bothering to type this.

    I still don't think Greece really deserved it, but I'm glad they beat Portugal. It was a good match and gave me and the family over here a good 90 minutes.

    However:

    The way some of the Greeks I know are acting *looks to a certain person with three letters as an abbreviation* make me want to slap them across the face and take the cup to fish-tank-for-stomach-boy Ronaldo in Portugal.

    Maybe he acts like that because since Greece started beating everyone they found in their way, some people around haven't stopped doubting our team and saying we don't deserve it ;)

    And i have another exhibit (or whatever the name is for that)

    They beat with luck Czech Republic, Portugal twice and France, but lost from Russia.

    My idea is that Czech, Portugal and France are stronger than Greece. So it was all luck from the Greece

    I don't believe sticking 10 men in a box along with 5 portugese players is called skill. It's called outnumbering them. Of course a Greek player is going to touch the ball, it's almost of a guarantee. In the NHL, we have teams like that, who rely solely on defense and score every once in a while. They make the games incredibly boring. There's no skill in concentrating on one aspect of the game, a great team is a team which is both great defensively, offensively, and in goal. You could've just made a human wall in the net all the way across and tempte the portugese to continue their assault on you.

    It's called a cindarella win. A lucky run. :)

    Chris if France,Chech and Portugal were better teams than Greece they had to win, and don't say that Greece was lucky.It can't win France,Chech and Portugal only with luck.
    But because Holland lost you are ugry with Greece.
    What to do,lik it or not Greece are the European Champions ;)

    Okay, I have this really cool idea. Are you listening?

    STOP RUBBING IT IN EVERYONE'S FACE.

    Being proud is one thing, but being cocky and arrogant is another thing. I suggest you knock it off right now.

    And no, you can't call me jealous or a sore loser because I didn't even watch the tournament, nor was I even rooting for anyone.

    Ehm. That's how Bulgaria played. That's how Latvia played. They got home with 10 goals received after the first round.

    But no, Greece were stupid to use their amazing defense so as to have the least goals received. No, we should have all eleven players go to offense and leave our back uncovered.
    It's called "tactic", Mark. And believe me, our play has no difference from that of West Germany in their golden era.

    But no, we had to be lucky.
