The new Greek gods

Portugal 0 Greece 1

How else can you explain this most unlikely of victories. How else can you ponder the fact that Greece were 80/1 outsiders before the first ball was kicked in this tournament.

Of course, Greece were not the fashionable winners that UEFA and all those who fantasised about the beautiful game wanted. In a sense they were unwelcome guests at this party, but in a very real sense, their victory and the manner in which it was achieved, epitomised the enduring attraction of sport.
