Greeks unite in joy to celebrate Euro win
“It is true, the dream is real, we are holding the Cup high up, we are in seventh heaven,” screamed a commentator on Greek national television, who called on all Greeks to party until the morning.
“The Greek soul won, with a bit of help from the German method,” said Aspasia Vlahou, on her way to central Athens to celebrate. “If you have faith, dreams really can come true.” The Greek squad, coached by German Otto Rehhagel, started the tournament as 100-1 outsiders and fought their way to the final past holders France and the fancied Czech Republic before beating the hosts 1-0 in the final.
