Euro Cup 2004 - Page 4

Seems the Greeks have the Gods on their side because they banish the heavily favored Czechs to advance in a Euro 2004 Final with hosts Portugal. LDS_forever, your theory is still in tact because the host nation is still alive, but who would have guessed that Greece would come this far?

Yes, I could hardly believe it myself, especially the way Greece won - right before time as though they planned it that way. Oh well, I am all for Greece winning, it would be too obvious if Portugal won.

I too will be rooting for Greece, because it will mark the changing of the guard in European football as we know it. No longer will the superpowers have their mystique and aura over their opponents, because now everyone will believe that they have a chance to do well. I think this is a good thing for European football that smaller nations not known for football supremacy are winning championships such as these.

With such little ball possession you would have thought the Greeks did not want to win the game - but they did and what a job! They did it twice to boot! Finally, a host nation does not have to be the champion.

Wow, I was very happy for Greece! and yes, sad for Portugal but what I can say? there is always a winner and one that has to lose. It was a pretty good match and I'm happy with the result. In a funny note, did you all see the crazy fan running over the field?

Euro Cup 2004

It is truly amazing that Greece won the game with only 2 shots, one on goal, which scored, and Portugal had close to 20 shots. The Greek goalkeeper had about 12 saves. Unfortunately I didnt see the game, I would have had to pay-per-view to see it, but I watched the ESPN Gamecast coverage, so no, I didnt get the pleasure of seeing the fan run across the field

The fan running across the field was funny, I believe he did it to get extra time for his players, unfortunately it was a waste since with 5 minutes of extra time they still could not penetrate Greece.

Italian striker Alessandro Del Piero has publicly discussed why he felt the Italian squad performed as poorly as it did in the recent Euro 2004 tournament. He credited lack of unity on the team and poor effort from everyone, including the coach and staff, but seemed to place tremendous blame on the critical Italian press as well. Bottom line was that the Italians with a loaded squad gravely underperformed and should look no further than themselves when assigning blame. Hopefully with a new coach and a new goal (2006 World Cup), they can pull it together in time.
