Wether you like it or not, Greece will be defending European Champions for the next four years.

 

[Lilianna]

[Elnur_E65]

I mean that Greece will be European Champions for the next 4 years. It's not like Greece won and everybody forgets about it.

 

[Lilianna]

[Elnur_E65]

Well, some people think that Greece got lucky or don't deservef the EURO.

This was mainly directed to them

But no, there is nothing wrong with being European Champions for four years.

luck=football for me.

even the best,if he doesn't have the luck on his side,turns out to be the worst.

First welcome to the forums.

And about your post : Who isn't thirsty for money nowadays?
Albania didn't ask for those 500 000 dollars that albanian PM had promised to them.

And Greece players have 500 000 euros for every player if Greece had won last night.
Don't you call that thirsty for money?

 

[cereza]

I don't think either one of the teams wanted to win for the money.

If Albania was thirsty for anything,I guess it was for beating their 'big' neighbor.

After all it's the WC qualifiers,who wouldn't want to win?

Humiliation for Euro 2004 winners

TIRANA, Albania -- European champions Greece made a humiliating start to their World Cup qualifying campaign by losing 2-1 to Albania in a Group Two match in Tirana.

Greece found themselves trailing two nil after only ten minutes as Edvin Murati and Adriaj Aliaj struck.

Stelios Giannakapoulos pulled a goal back on 38 minutes but Albania held on for a famous victory.

Greece, who were without first-choice central defender Traianos Dellas, looked a shadow of the team that upset the odds to win the European championship.

The Greeks struggled for most of the first half before coach Otto Rehhagel replaced Nikos Dabizas and Panagiotis Fyssas with Stelios Giannakopoulos and Vassilis Tsiartas.

The changes soon paid dividends as Tsiartas crossed for Giannakopoulos to pull a goal back after 38 minutes.

But strikers Angelos Haristeas and Zisis Vryzas caused few problems for Albania and while the Greeks attacked more often in the second half they failed to create any clear chances.

Albania squandered a few chances and also protested to Spanish referee Eduardo Iturralde Gonzalez for a penalty before Greece striker Georgos Karagounis struck a powerful shot that goalkeeper Foto Strakosha kept out in the 89th minute.
