I am at a loss for words....

I don't think I have ever witnessed a Team play SO bad.

Like they say : the whole is better than the sum of all parts

Don't you mean Tzatziki sauce? Either way, soon we will have to either eat Gyros or Goulash to celebrate the next games winner.

The Czech's are on fire and the Greeks are playing German style soccer. That will be a great game.

It was. And is.

The final game's now a repeat of the first. I'm hoping for the fairy tale finish - sorry, Portugal - Greece may never be this close again. ;)

Go Greece!

Really? I disagree - they don't play NEARLY as defensive a style as most of the teams in the tournament. Greece playing practically guarantees plenty of chances at both ends.
For downright lethal dullness, nobody matches the Italians and Germans.
They haven't won by defense, although the defense has been stellar - they've won by key saves and key goals.

The Anal boys won by strong defence, taking advantage of opportunities and lucky breaks. They where the kings of defending.

I did like how they took command of the overtime against the Czechs and won. For that they should be commended.

I just wish one team would step up and school them in the game of football. As good as the Greeks where in defending there approach at going forward was to aimless, and shouldn't have gotten them this far. Portugal maybe? --- Kev

"Shouldn't have gotten them this far"??

Again, their defensive style was FAR less prominent than many of the teams you'd probably say would have "deserved" to get that far.

Rubbish.

I'd offer you a mirror, but your comment makes it plain that you wouldn't be able to use it.

Yeah, the Greeks just got lucky against Portugal, and Spain, and France, and the Czechs.
LOL
The evidence is against you. And so are most of the analysts.
But why let that interfere with your anti-Greek bias?

Greece is not my favorite team, but they played a stellar defense, were very opportunistic, their goals were few but clean and against the Czechs they dominated the extra time, they deserve their place in the finals. On top of that, in that semi-final, some of their attackers showed they have skill with some beautiful moves.
If stronger teams like France, etc...were not able to take advantage of their superior players (on paper), its because on the field, where it matters, they played poorly and fully deserve to be in front of their tv sets this afternoon.

Your reading comprehension isn't very good Ranger so i'll spell out for you.
I said in my posts that the Greeks where lucky, and they were. There is alot luck to winning in sport. All sport.
I said the Greeks have an excellant defence and they do.
I also said Greece deserved to beat the Czechs.:) --- Kev

This is wrong. They played much less dull defensive soccer than many of the teams already out.

"I did like how they took command of the overtime against the Czechs and won. For that they should be commended."

So, you DIDN'T say they deserved to beat the Czechs. You said they should be commended for how they played.
:rolleyes:

"I just wish one team would step up and school them in the game of football. As good as the Greeks where in defending there approach at going forward was to aimless, and shouldn't have gotten them this far. Portugal maybe?"

So, this was clearly wrong.
They DESERVED to get this far, and DESERVED to win the tournament.
Maybe you should take more care to say what you mean next time, Kev. I'm sorry your language skills aren't what they could be.
