Final | Portugal - Greece (8 Viewers)

Okay, here's an example: what if Scholes' goal had stood? That's different from saying "What if Nedved played in the CL final against Milan?", because the fact is that if the goal had counted (which it definitely should have), Porto would have been knocked out and they wouldn't be considered the best team in Europe.
Are you saying that for the next 4 years, Korea should be considered the 4th best team in the world, and that faced against England, Holland, Czech Republic, they should be considered favourites simply because they had a better showing at the last World Cup? That France and Argentina should be considered worse teams than Senegal and Turkey? Surely you can't have so much faith in the structure of a tournament and the 'fairness' of the outcome of matches that you blindly agree with whatever rankings a tournament churns out.
I think you're a bit too quick to dismiss the possibility of say, the Czech Republic taking one of their many chances. You're right, it didn't happen, but you can't guarantee that if the Czechs and the Greeks were to play against each other at any time in the next 4 years, that Greece should be considered favourites. You can't guarantee that the Czechs are going to be so unlucky in front of goal.
Basically what I'm saying is that you can't attribute horrible finishing and poor marking solely to the quality of the opposing team.
Grow up.

Greece won
. Big ups to Dellas and theboyz. I enjoyed the style of play and how they shut down overrated players like C.Ronaldo, Deco and tackled them for fun. Just how Henry struggled like hell thats why he aint no Sheva. THE CLOSEST STRIKER TO VAN BASTEN. Im a striker but I love great defenders who play like champions. When I play I like a duel where the defender I go against is of high qualilty. Many top stars got exposed against defences who could handle them with ease although Nedveds boys were very unlucky but Baros got done by the Speedy Seterwhateverthehellhisfullnameis. If Italy Played the final vs Greece it wouldve been a great match. Italy struggle against fast paced teams, Greece vs Italy wouldve been like a small Serie A side vs a Juve or Milan.ez Well done to the greeks. And that Barca fan

And that Barca fan Basically, what I'm saying, altho I know that Greece will lose a lot of their games and thet other teams will be considered favourites, by me as well, people need to show some appriciation for the Greeks. What they did was incredible, and people should be admireing them inseat of trying to discredit and downplay their succes.

You seriously believe what you just said?
Those Greek are going to get slaughtered on numerous occasions. They really aren't a good team.

Greece did not deserve to win? But why? Because they beat everybody? The team which never got to the penalty shootouts in the playoffs?
And why did the Czech deserve the EURO more than Greece? Just because they won all four games?
I am personally defending Greece because they don't deserve statements like "not a good team" or "did not deserve the cup". And football they play is in no way disguisting. To me it was a very intelligent game, maybe not as entertaining... but winning is what matters, nothing else.
A friend of mine had the same injury. When he was recovering I accidentally touched his ankle in class, he just started crying. Must be painful. Yeah..football, but I'm going to make money out of it soon. Nothing much, something like 100 euros a week. That is, if I reach the senior team, but I should be able to do that in the next 2 years.
I LIKE GREECE. But they're not a strong team. And everyone who fails to realise that should't call himself a football fan. I'm not bitter because my team, Italy, lost. Italy has nothing to do with Greece. Fact remains Greece isn't a strong team. Whether Italy is or not hasn't got anything to do with that.
I would only change "not a strong team" to "not THE strongest team", which of course, some may argue, is a subjective approach.
Weak (not strong as you say it) teams do not make it to the EURO. Weak teams don't win six games in a raw in a qualifyers without conceeding a single goal! (including Spain, N Ireland, and Ukraine.)
