Like saying Leicester will win the Premier League. Sometimes the little teams beat the powerful teams and that what is beatiful about football.

I decided to support them while watching first game. Didn't like Portugal and they've beaten them. Also i call bs that everybody hated them. I remember many people cheering them on while the play-offs were ongoing, especially after they've beaten France

You guys won the cup of Best Euro-Hosts Ever! Every single Greek who was in Lisbon back in 2004 had that to say "Portuguese they are amasing people". In their sadness the Portuguese were happy enough for us Greeks saying "Since it was not us, we are happy it was you". This is why in 2016 all of the Greek nation was with Portugal.

You won it at another hosts homeground 12 years later 💪👏🇵🇹

We in England would call you a Potugeeeser ;-)

Como uma força, como uma força que ninguém pode parar!

All of Greece was glad to see Portugal winning in 2016. Not only because it was a redemption for 2004, but also because we wanted to see Fernando Santos winning the cup.

Hello from a Greek brother! Your comment is one of the best I've ever read regarding our Euro 2004 story. In the World Cup of 1994, the Romanian national team was amazing and during that era, Hagi was among the most popular football players in Greece. Personally, I really believe that Romania will win a trophy some day. It's just a matter of time and I hope you will enjoy this experience soon. Besides, your country deserves it from any point of view.

@@DimitrisTziounis Thank you for beliving in Romania and for reminding us of that great run Romania had back in 1994. Unfortunately, currently Romania has these problems lately because romanian football suffers the same fate as our country, that being corruption. FRF (the romanian football federation) wants fast results, but they don't invest neither enough money or time in forming players (our last good generation was Mutu and Chivu generation, because there was still that inertia from the previous golden generation). But despite that, I still believe that one day some golden kids will come and save our national team. Greetings again from Romania, my good greek brother. I wish all the best to both you and your beautifull country! :)

That Romanian team was fantastic. The pride of the Balkans. It just needed a bit of luck and a strong Greek defense. 😉

What a hearty beautiful comment. Be well may your good county’s national team give you the excitement

thanks for the kind words i am sure you will make it too

I’m Greek, and when Greece won everyone was sad, bc we are “boring” since we are not that big in football, unfortunately. The only thing that matters is that ewe literally won the big teams, as a country that no one is interested in in football. I’m disappointed on everyone. Literally we won the big teams, wouldn’t you be impressed? I mean, I’m a little bit sad for ronaldo, since he is my favourite player. But they won on 2016 so no problems here.❤

The amazing thing he used a similar approach.

Lets not brush over the fact that the greek football league used and trusted greek talent much more than it does now.

Fast forward to 2021 Aris, PAOK and AEK have starting lineups consisting of ONE greek, Olympiacos of 2-3 and Panathinaikos has a couple of unexperienced youth. What has this obsession with foreign talent gotten the national team to alongside with the countries ranking at a club level? The gutter. When the big 3 teams of Greece used mostly greek grown talent both the teams and the national team were doing wonders and now they are both little kittens.

Thank you. 👍🏻

@nicos frangeskou thank you, finally someone who brought it up, italys catenaccio.

My logic about football is simple... if you're top tier team with superstar players and endless talent you have no right to destroy the game and play like this... however if you're Greece that didn't have a single goddamn player at a top tier club (not even one that was a substitute or even the 23rd player of that club unless you count the back then mediocre Atletico Madrid where Demis Nikolaidis was playing with exceptional performances before he got injured) then if you have to play full defensively I won't judge you... you play like that out of necessity, not because your coach is a coward and he'd rather destroy the game with 10 superplayers on the field (*cough* Mourinho *cough*)... So yeah... Greece deserved every single bit of that triumph... the sad part is that after that triumph Greek Football became the worst it's ever been due to the micro politics of team owners and especially Olympiacos that made the Greek National team a market for managers to sell their players to European teams and the Greek national team became a joke cause Greek football is as corrupted as can be... I'm Greek and I stopped watching altogether... it's goddamn unwatchable... to put it in perspective, this year Olympiacos is first and Aris Thessaloniki is second on the table... one small detail... Aris didn't have any money last summer and everyone said that they would play with the kids from their academy and suddenly they found 5 million euros out of nowhere and brought several players from Nottinham Forrest that is owned by the owner of Olympiacos Evanggelos Marinakis (also accused for participation in the biggest drug import ever seen in Greece with 3 tons of heroin... a case where every major witness has died under unknown circumstances)... so the 2nd team of the table is pretty much a product of the owner of the 1st team... Marinakis turned a bankrupt team into the second team of the table in one night by pretty much paying under the table to bring them players... Anyway... the story of Greek football is sad... it's unwatchable... nowadays I say I'm an Arsenal fan and be done with it... who gives a fuck about their politics... they can all go hang themselves for all I care...

Just remember that 2 years later Chelsea brought Mourinho to England who was playing exactly the same football ... And Mourinho for few years was winning everything.... So defense might not be spectacular but it is part of the game and it is effective...

I'm from Greece and thank you. P.S 1 year later Brazil had the best team in years and destroyed me 3 - 0, but I liked it,cause I love football.

As an Englishman I remember really wanting Greece to win that tournament after England were knocked out. They fully deserved it and anyone who says they didn't play "beautiful" football is salty as hell.

Hey I was the same age that time, and rooting for Germans though 😅 Greece was so composed with tackles and all.

😂😂😂😂

that was this team's greatest achievement

ONLY ARIS THESSALONIKI.
