You're right Paul. Portugal was just better ... That's a fact! Well, let's focus on Germany 2006 now! I didn't like the referee though ... I think he was whistling like a home referee. And don't you think it's strange that they let a Swedish referee be in charge right after NL beat Sweden on penalties? Strange ... Not that it would have mattered much though as Portugal was just better. I am 100% certain the Czech rep will win this tournament. They are superior. I also think Portugal didn't play extremely well. NL just played worse than Portugal but that something else. Mark my words: Czech rep will win for sure. 100%. Although I will cheer for Greece tomorrow of course. No doubt about that Mike. sAner

Touch luck Pieter! Still, being in the best 4 of this tournament isn't bad at all! And you lost to the hosts! Strangely enough, we're the only ones who have beat the one team which plays in the final! ;D Anyway, I think the Czech republic is the strongest team of this tournament and they deserve to win it. When we played France I though that the possibilities were 70%-30% in favor of France. Now I think that our possibilities are 80%-20% in favor of the Czechs. I'm glad that we got this far, that's for sure! Michael

Yes! This must be the biggest shock EVER in soccer history. Hellas totally deserved it! Cheers Mike!!!! The biggest story for Hellas since Homer put his pen down. ->Courtesy to the BBC for that comment. Please tell us all about the festivity in Athens, Mike! --> That brings me to the question: WHERE ARE YOU since wednesday?! sAner

Well done Greece and to you Mike. What a result, but they deserved it, great defence, great at set plays and the counter attack. Beat nearly all of the best teams in the competition to win it. You can't say fairer than that!! ;D

Could not agree more. Well done! I hope that you have been away celebrating Mike.. I know I wouldn't forgive myself if I'd gone away and missed this ;D Greece = Arsenal under George Graham? (coming from A Gooner, this is a major compliment)

I'm back! ;D Hmm.. you don't check the other fora do you ? I wrote that I was going to be away until the 6th of July.. Anyway, I watched the two games on tv and I can honestly say that I couldn't believe my eyes! The Czechs played very well (everyone agreed that it was the hardest team to beat) but we were lucky and won that match.. People cheered for hours and hours and wouldn't stop!! On Sunday, since we've played Portugal two times recently we knew how to deal with them and.. the rest is history! We won the tournament! I still can't believe it! Really!! We played against all odds, we destroyed all statistics (we had never beaten France or the Czech republic before, can't remember the last time a team won the trophy without conceding a goal in the elimination rounds, only one more time a team had beaten the same team twice in a tournament etc.) and we won it! Everywhere in the world, USA, Australia, Middle East, Europe, Cyprus, Greeks celebrated the impossible! When this tournament started, everyone here thought that it would be a disaster and that we wouldn't be able to achieve anything (me included). But the Greek team proved us totally wrong! Words can't describe this.. Total surprise for everyone in the world! Yesterday around 300-400 thousand people went out on the streets to welcome the team home! Too bad I was away from Athens!! Thank you everyone for your kind words! Please bear with me if I don't reply to any of your emails soon, I've received around 200 and I'll have to check them one by one.. Michael
