 1:0 for Greece! Otto Rehhagel (the German trainer of Greece) doesn't even speak Greek 
Greece started as an underdog of this championship. Rehhagel has been criticized for playing an unmodern style of soccer, to which he replied: "If you win, that's modern" [CLICK HERE TO VIEW THIS PICTURE] posted by knn |

 So what does this mean? they don't roll around on the floor clutching their leg everytime they are tackled. 
they don't demand Armani suits and Ferraris. it's more about the game than the money. or am I just cynical?

Quote: Unmodern style of soccer? So what does this mean They gave a few examples: Playing defensively (the goal chances during the match were 4:22), playing extremely space oriented (noone leaves his quarter)... posted by knn |

 ...they used man-marking throughout the tournament. Ah hell, it doesn't matter how you win, just that you do. Congratulations, Greece.

 play seriously boring football 10 men behind the ball and hit on the counter attack does not the beautiful game make but still it was effective and is a lesson to the arrogance of the highly paid superstars like zidane and henry of france and figo of portugal. i still the the czech republic were the best team to watch in the tournament...especially the Holland game only 2 years to the world cup now

 Nah, his name was Vigo. As in the Carpaethian.
On the "football" topic, that was great in the World Cup when we (U.S.) beat Portugal and their primadonna superstar, Figo. Just the looks on those people's faces after they lost to a team they thought they could walk over...priceless. posted by GP |

 Greece's football style sucks! It's like they're almost afraid of every team they face! But obviously it paid out in the end because they ended up winning the tournament. But that doesn't mean they were the best team. The best team in the tournament was the Czech Republic and it's a shame they didn't win. Mark my words and mark then well, Greece won't even make it to the World Cup! posted by Echelon |
