Cyborg Posted July 2, 2004 Share Posted July 2, 2004 They win, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spectral Paladin Posted July 2, 2004 Share Posted July 2, 2004 And I almost fell asleep when Milan was playing Juventus in the UCL final last year, yet everyone considers them great teams. And they are. A defensive style can be as good as an attacking one and one of the most important characteristcs of a manager is his ability to judge which one to use depending on the situation his team's in. Sure you didn't expect Greece to throw everything we got in attack against France or Czech Republic? Our strength is defense, period.

lowzeewee Posted July 2, 2004 Share Posted July 2, 2004 While everyone keeps attacking, you defend, stopping them, then knowing that they are focusing mainly on defence, catch them off guard in their defence and score. Greece 1-0 Czech Rep. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emperor Harkonnen Posted July 2, 2004 Share Posted July 2, 2004 so what if they win. it is not as entertaining as if the teams attack. Therefore I would not like to see Greece win. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Emperor Harkonnen Posted July 2, 2004 Share Posted July 2, 2004 of course, and I understand that these matches are entertaining for people from greece, but not for everyone else >:( but I fully understand that they do this, I am just stating my opinion on the matter.

Ninja_Sher Posted July 3, 2004 Share Posted July 3, 2004 Portugal deserved to win vs holland, it was the best match of the tournament. Tomorrow we will now the 2nd finalist, may the best team winIf Patrick Kluivert would play like he did in Euro 2000 this protugal would not stand a chance.

lowzeewee Posted July 4, 2004 Share Posted July 4, 2004 Yeah, he's Holland's top scorer and didn't play a single minute... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spectral Paladin Posted July 4, 2004 Share Posted July 4, 2004 I don't think he 'd be able to offer much to his team even if he played.Don't worry, Portugal won't stand a chance against Greece. We will avenge Holland's elimination :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nyarlathotep Posted July 4, 2004 Share Posted July 4, 2004 Yeah, he's Holland's top scorer and didn't play a single minute...That's because he had a terrible season with Barca. Concerning strikers, Holland has a luxery problem.Kluivert has been playing during the qualifying matches, but he couldn't peform. I agree with the Dutchcoach to let Kluivert not play.

nampigai Posted July 4, 2004 Share Posted July 4, 2004 Greece make football boring. I could almost fall asleep during the matches where greece plays. only defence all the time, it sucks. to little action. I really hope Portugal will win.Greece plays boring football...it's not like norwegian football is all out attack? I don't know why people has a problem with greece, ok they don't play all out attack, but they find each other and play their chances.

Vanguard3000 Posted July 4, 2004 Share Posted July 4, 2004 Let it never be said again that Canadians don't enjoy Soccer. I was working, and knew the moment Greece had won. Car horns were going off all over the place, and tons of people had those little Greek flags you put on your car door.Gongratulations, Greece!

rigel6669 Posted July 5, 2004 Share Posted July 5, 2004 Did you already bet for Greece to win at the start of the tournement?Bets were 80 to 1 for Greece Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nampigai Posted July 5, 2004 Share Posted July 5, 2004 I placed the bet after the first game against Portugal back then the odds had dropped from 80 to 22... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EWS Posted July 5, 2004 Share Posted July 5, 2004 Before the first match, in britain Greece were 200-1 and 250-1 in some places. If only I had gone with my gut instinct! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lowzeewee Posted July 5, 2004 Share Posted July 5, 2004 I wouldn't have expected Greece to win...but like Arsene Wenger said way before the tournament even began, Otto Rehhagel is a "tricky one". :O Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
