Greece 2 - Portugal 1

Who expected that? Greece was very efficient. I hope this isn't going to turn out like the CL with all the big teams going out :(

I'd seen an interview of Rehagel, the Greek coach, and I was really curious to see how they'd do since he seemed so damn confident. Now I know! The Greeks played well, especially considering the odds. Mostly I felt sorry for noodle boy... but at least he scored the header. Okay. I'm knocking on wood for your comment at the end. Hee!

Portugal's defence sucks...seriously.

I´m not sure if Portugal played badly or Greece played good. ha-ha. but definitely the greek victory was a surprise.

I think people forget, Greece topped their qualifying group. Which is why Spain had to play Norway in the play-offs.

Ouch! After reading that comment I realised that I still haven't recovered from the CL quarterfinals.

You're right, Portugal are not quite in the same league as France, Spain or even England. They may have Figo, Noodle Boy, Costa, and Baia but they do lack depth in some departments.

Me, me, me!
Nah, don't mind me. I am drunk on the winning and the ouzo.

But Rehagel simply does not do the losing thing very often. Only did it once actually and that was when he was with of Bayern Munich. He works miracles with the underdogs.
