    In 2004 as the Euros were going on, I was dating a girl who I was really into. I don't normally get like that but with this particular woman I knew she was the one.
    Anyway, midway through the tournament she dropped a bomb on me and said she was having doubts and not sure if we were right for each other. I was up against it.
    By the time Greece got to the final I'd made up my mind that their amazing run to the final in against unprecedented way was like me having that situation.
    If Greece could win Euro 2004 then surely I could make this woman change her mind.
    When Greece best Portugal in the final I used them as the inspiration to not give up.
    A week or so later my efforts paid off.
    It's 2022, we've been married since 2005 and have 5 children.
    Nice one Greece

      @@hanz7478 Without Nikopolidis Greece would not have made it. He was already aging back then but he was in excellent form in that tournament. When you watch the matches and see how many captures, difficult ones, he made, you understand why Portugal, Czech Republic and France who were the 3 favorite teams could not score a goal. To be noted, Greece was playing a tactical defensive game which was extremely clean - for example in the match against Czech Republic Greeks did 16 fouls (and all clean and non-violent) while the Czechs who were playing offensive football did 27 or so fouls and many were quite violent ones. A very peculiar type of game that was not repeated again, even by the same Greek team. It was the product of the moment, the right players under the right coach, all tied in a close-knit group that really worked as a team (all of them were friends, no rivalries - quite a rarity in a Greek team!)

    For those who criticize the defensive tactics adopted by Greece they'd better remember how Italy and France ( 2 teams with 20 times the talent of Greece ) reached the world cup final just 2 years later. Portugal's win in 2016 is also a very vital example of how even very talented teams win trophies in modern football.

      Exactly. I added up the stats which tell quite much of the tale but not all.
      Opponents Greece
      Goals 4 7
      Shots on target 30 21
      % of goals/target-shots 13% 33%
      Total shots 92 47
      % of t-shots/shots 33% 45%
      Possession 56% 44%
      Corners won 51 21
      Offsides 10 19
      Fouls committed 123 103
      Bookings 17 18
      Sent Off 0 0
      You clearly see that for all the defensive Game of Greece :
      1) The Greek team was more focused and more productive when attacking
      2) Its superb defense led opponents to shoot out of target and go to corners leaving them little space to score
      3) Contrary to common notions, ball possession on average was nothing spectacular, it was not like half-pitch game
      4) Greek team had double offsides since opponents played often technical off-side to avoid the set-piece traps of Greek attack
      5) ... and then the most amazing! Greek team did by far less fouls than its opponents in spite of playing defensively. Its opponents also received as many yellow cards as the Greek players and to be noted (that is the picture not given by the stats) in most matches, the referees had a very heavy hand against the Greek team being influenced by the vision of the defensive games - quite a number of Greek fouls were not fouls at all and many of the yellow cards were quite heavy-handed (the matches are there for everyone to see with his own eyes). In fact in both the games against Portugal I remember referees giving a couple of "not-so-fouls" to Portugal just out of regret of having given "non-fouls" to Greece. LOL!
      This was the cleanest, most sportsman-like defensive team to ever appear in a Euro cup. Not only they did not kill the game, they uplifted it. The fact that they did not let their "star-opponets" score can't be held against them.

    For anyone wondering why and how this team won... Football like any sport is more mental than physical, we as the audience only see the dribbles and the shots and the physical side, what we can not see is the mental fight every player is in, the pressure, the nervousness and the fear.
    Pay attention to body language and attitude in every game Greece played this tournament, and you will see what wins trophies.
    Examples are vs CZ team, when they miss a chance to score on Greece they grab their heads in disbelief, they blame eachother, you can see frustration more clear than anything... When the Greek team miss one of the few chances they got they just applause eachother.
    This frustration is so obvious vs Portugal too, both games, watch the players and you can almost hear the thoughts "is this really happening? What if we lose to GREECE?! Im paid more than their whole team combined and so are all my teammates, how are we losing?!" , thats what their minds was full of instead of winning.
    its not luck, its not a fluke, its all about this.

When we passed through the first round and after defeating France, we were about to play with the Czechs. I remember discussing with friends that, ok, this was a nice journey and we were the first Greeks to witness such a nice Greece team. Fate had other plans for us though, and yet another miracle happened and we won the Czech Republic in the semifinal *and I must say this:* winning this Cup would be any way you see it a huge thing for Greece, *but it would never be as huge, if we wouldnt win the best team in the tournament, the Czechs.*

      Up until 2004, Greece had only qualified for a single Euro, 1980, and a single World Cup in 1994. Combined results for those tournaments were 5 defeats, 1 draw, goals against 14, goals for ...1. Although, big greek clubs (Panathinaikos, Olympiakos, AEK) were considerable forces, upper medium level, in European Competition, lack of deliberate planning, unfortunate coaching choices and a general unprofesionnalism in regards to how players and clubs were treating the national team had produced those very poor results. To add insult to injury, the only two times Greece had qualified for big tournaments, they played against ....Netherlands, West Germany, Panenka's Chechoslovakia, Argentina, african champions 1994 Nigeria and the best Bulgaria of all times.
      What people outside Greece also fail to realise is, our 2004 squad was quite possibly the least talented (in terms of individual talent) national team at least from 1970 onwards and in fact the most talented players of the era (Tsartas, Liberopoulos, Georgatos, Alexandris, Nikolaidis, Stoltidis, Zikos) were either substitutes or not even in the squad at all. 2004 is the primal example of perfect chemistry and form, winning over talent.

      Greece beats the hosts Portugal twice, the defending champions France, and the favorites Czech Republic.

    This was a memorable match when i was an elementary school student. I supported Portugal to win, but still Greece really showed the passion on this tournament. Their road to final was something else. ❤ Indonesia. Hoppefully Greece will be risen next world cup.

    Magnificent game to stopped ball that of Greece. Great auctioneers. Maximum effectiveness in the plays that were presented to them. And the one that Barthez takes off the line I think was also a goal. Congratulations to Greece from Spain.

      Well, there were a couple of very wisely used weapons, especially Tsartas' incomparable long pass acurracy of which only the Spaniards, besides the Greeks, know of well.
