Euro 2004 : Teamwork beats individualism

Yes - the rock solid defence of Greece was too strong for the artisan footballers of Portugal and the best team won. Good match, I thought, and a really good result. '--8<------------------------ Ex Datis: Duncan Jones Merrion Computing Ltd

I think Portugal played a good match. Greece however were superbly organized and never looked like they were going to break down. Excellent tactics from Otto. Maybe he can coach Germany, produce some miracle and save them from sure disaster in 2006.

Portugal tried to play football, Greece just anti-football == catenaccio

Even if the Greeks played a defensive football, so not very spectacular, they really made an outstanding performance, writing a new page of the european football history. They trully deserve this title. Congratulations to the new champions!

Yeah, we were unable to beat the superb defensive greek system. Otto Rehhagel did an outstanding job with the once upon a time vulgar greek national team. The last 3 years were surely the best ones for the greek football. The greek team formed an extremely organized , cohesive and solid block that is very though to beat. They were stronger than us, they deserved to win. On a personal note, I hate this kind of system, but it is very pragmatic , they played with their best arms and this system albeit not pretty is extremely efficient. Truly the Olympic gods were with the greeks. Glory to the winners, honour to the losers. :beer: Cheers,Joao Vaz Three primary LAN architectures for Network Engineers, under the sky, Seven OSI layers for the Open System Architects, in their halls of stone, Nine N-xDU operations* for mortal Developers, doomed to die, One protocol suite for the Dark Sysadmin, in his dark server room, In the land of mordor.net, where the shadowed fibers lie

Coaches have always got a lot of credit when their teams did unexpectedly well. Even in the last world cup Hiddink and Voeller were the center of attention. And when Arsenal does well Wenger gets most of the credit (and rightly so) "I believe I referred to her personality as a potential science exhibit." - Elaine, about Ellen, in "The Dog"

I think Woerns is going to retire. I've had enough of his mistakes dating all the way back to that idiotic tackle in 98. Kuranyi looked so good against United in the Champions league. Wonder what happened to him ? All I can say is I think combined they must have spent less time on their hair than Beckham but that's another story.
