"Who has the most tackles in the tournament? Theo Zagorakis, once of Leicester City"

The games not been brilliant but Nikopolidis has made a couple of decent stops, Rosicky hit the bar early on. Greece are looking for the high ball into the forwards too much really.

It's really tight to call right now. The Czechs look most likely to take it still, but Greece are showing moments of dangerousness. It'll be interesting to see what sort of goal (or penalties) decide this one.

By the way, with all these misses the Czechs are having, it's the sort of series of misses a team has when they crash to a hugely unlucky defeat, I could see it happening...

Barely. I have had the most insane night of all time.

Cos the game was at 4:45am here I stuffed around with a few mates beforehand then drove down to South Melbourne (club I support, with Greek background) to watch the game along with about 250-300 other supporters. What can I say, chances fell both ways but in the end we once again pulled it out of our arses to win. When the goal went in the room I was in went fucking wild, cunts hugging anyone, beer flying, even a flare . Chants of HELLAS HELLAS HELLAS HELLAS rang for the next bloody 20 minutes.

At 7am when I FINALLY left, I headed toward the city to Lonsdale Street (Greek street as some like to put it). On the 10 minute drive to the city all that could be heard on the roads were car horns, scarves were hanging out the window along with Greek flags, some nutters were jumping around topless even though it's fucking freezing down here. Then I managed to somehow get to the very top of Lonsdale Street (the main Greek part of it was at the other end) and tried to get down there but the entire road was blocked off. All you could hear is fire engines going toward that end of the road to put out all the flares. The entire road was covered with them.

I haven't had any sleep for exactly 24 hours, I'm fucking tired having worked a full day yesterday, and I have to front up to work in just a shade under 5 hours, but I really couldn't give a fuck. All along I have believed Greece was capable of upsetting big sides but I never actually thought they would go ahead and do it, let alone make the fucking final. I have doubted them since they lost to Russia, and both times they've proved me wrong. Who knows what's going to happen now, but whatever does happen doesn't really matter cos they've achieved some amazing things in this tournament.

OLE OLE OLE OLE HELLAS HELLAS

No, I just need to let off some steam. And, you know what, I 'll give the Greeks credit. But seriously, they like to tug on jerseys a lot. Even the English commentators were ripping them a part for doing that. But that's footbal I guess

In all seriousness I thought it was a very even game which could have gone either way. Both teams had some golden chances but nobody managed to put them away til of course the end of injury time. Just a question though, I thought that by getting rid of the golden goal, this means that both halves of injury time be played out, not just one? So that the other team like the Czechs could have a chance to snatch an equaliser? Or are the rules different or something

They brought in the silver goal rule,which means that 15 minutes are played and if a team is leading after that then its game over.Given the timing of the Greece goal the Czech's could only really kick off before the final whistle.

I was hoping Greece would lose, but you have to give them credit. They have beat the host team Portugal in the round robin, they beat France, maybe the favourites in the tounry at the beginning and they beat the Czechs, which was clearly the most dominant team in the tourny. And all three wins were legit, no shoot outs or anything like that (no offense to Portugal), so they deserve to be in the final.

Doesn't mean I have to like it though.

Go Portugal Go!

At the end of the day, it's still Greece. All those countries who are out (and didn't get beat by the Greeks) must be cursing their luck that they're out and Greece are through. Italy, Germany, England, Holland, Sweden - all big names who would surely fancy their chances against those mayonnaise eating tsipouro drinking Greeks (god bless). Still, that's football and as a guy who always roots for the underdogs when I'm otherwise a neutral, I'll be rooting them on, even though there would be some comfort in knowing we got knocked out (ultra narrowly) by the eventual winners.


Omen #1: The last time a team lost their opening game and won the tournament was Holland in 1988. The team that beat them, the Soviet Union, was the team they eventually beat in the final.

Omen #2: England always lose to the eventual winners. At least it seems like we do.

If omens dictated football in any way, Portugal would have it swen up already.

Yeah, it was remeniscent of our exit, with our star players limping off early before we crash out. I do feel sorry for him though, didn't he miss the Champions League final last year too?
