Guys you can't accept, that your team lose. Deserved or not, they won.

Would you be saying they didnt deserve it if it wasn't portugal they beat?

No!
Like they didn't deserve to win against Czech Rep.

I unfortunatly missed the czech republic game. But from what i've seen of greece, they score when they need to. Took the only real chance they had against portugal and scored from it. Thats why i think they deserve what they got.
Plus the portugese keeper needs to sort himself out a bit.

That's exactly where i'm trying to get.
They put 11 guys on the penalty area and score in the only chance they've got.
Is that playin' football? Is that the kind of football that people like?
It's just like the Italians' "cattenacio": defend, defend, defend, defend, defend, defend and then put a ball on the other area to score.
Like i said the best game of the tournament was England vs. Portugal (it would be a great final).
A great attacking game. Two teams trying to score a goal in every opportunity they created.

But just because a game is fun to watch does not mean wheter someone deserves someting or not.
England hardly attacked well in the portugal game. They constantly just kicked the ball upfield hoping for it to land at owen or vassell's feet. 9 times of ten it went straight to a portugese defender. The other time they were just tackled.
Portugal completly out played england, and they deserved their win.
Even though you might say this about portugal - greece, I say that Greece deserve the result because of the tournament they played as a whole. Beating the host nation on the opening night, beating the champions. They were one of the underdogs of the tournament, but kept their nerve and beat the host nation again.
Theres nothing wrong with being defensive, if it works, why not play that way. It's cleary working for the greeks. They have a great defense, and a great keeper

Krub...i agree with mixin in this one...although i don´t like their style, i recognize much merit in the greeks...the players have talent they hardly miss a pass.
And they play very very good with the weapons they have.
Our main problem was the lack of a forward in good form...Pauleta was awfull...if we had someone like Charisteas in the attack last night...well...

Yeah put the blame on Pauleta, like everyone did on Rui Costa and Simão in the first game. Bah!

I really wouldn't be blaming your forwards... I'm still suspecting your keeper ain't upto much. Very very bad postitioning when the greece goal went in.. and (sorry to bring this up again) he wasn't in the best position when mr sol campbell's goal was disallowed, even if he was slightly impeded.
