I still remember it vividly when Greece stunned Europe or even the world when winning this in 2004. I'll tell 100% the truth, I wasn't an admirer of their tactics, more so at the time, but as I've grown up I realise that it was their only chance of playing a decent game against most teams, let alone winning them. There's no fluke about beating Portugal twice IN Portugal, drawing against Spain, beating the reigning World Cup and European Championship holders, France and a very decent Czech Republic side. I also seen how much more arrogant and unfairly the media were towards them than I did at the time, especially the English media and pundits. Sour grapes.
As the saying goes: You can only play with the cards you're dealt with and at the end of the day, all that matters is the final-score.
