What on earth does this say about football, when a team which is absolutely defensive can get through to a final and win???
Crap football wins the game again.
I think I'm gonna get drunk.
Oh wait.
I'm already drunk.
Well...I'm not eating Greek the coming three weeks, that's for sure!

Well done Greece. (I wish my crystal ball wasn't in for a service, I could have made a small fortune on those 100 to 1 odds...)
I thought they played brilliantly. Victory through solid defence is fine by me. Real fairy tale stuff - and I was never going to be happy with Portuguese victory after we were robbed.
I would go as far as saying, this result has made the tournament for me.

Please tell me you're not referring to the English - Portugese game where the Portugese gave you a horrendous ass-whooping...

However well you believe the England team played, that goal should have stood, and it would have been a very different final. (Not necessarily with England in it...)
"horrendous ass-whooping"? How could a game that went to penalties be an ass-whooping?

Or the Greece-Portugal one?
Judging by your ignorant comments I can assume not.
If Greece were so crap and Portugal so good, how come Portugal never even looked like scoring?

Individually the Portugese players were far superior to the English and the Greek players.
The play style of Portugal was far tighter and sharper than either that of Greece and England.
The Portugese team functioned far more effectivly (qua passes and alignment) than the English team. (The Greek team was reasonable in this aspect).
The English and Greek defence was far better than the Portugese defence.
The Portugese team were by far the most attacking and stylish to watch of the three.
Hence, I can say what I said.
Sometimes balls don't go in. Sometimes luck isn't on your side. The Greek defence was fantastic. That's how Portugal hardly looked like scoring.
A good defence doesn't always make for good football.
EDIT:
So go back to your Rooney worshipping temple of crap and stop bothering me.
And no, he's not even as good as a pimple on Pele's old arse.
So there.
