"Greece arrived in Portugal for Euro 2004 as 150-1 outsiders who had never won a match at a major tournament.
Four weeks later, manager Otto Rehhagel was a legendary figure in Greece and Angelos Charisteas had written his name into footballing legend.
Charisteas scored the winner in the 1-0 final victory that sank hosts Portugal."

Despite their skillfull players, when they finally meet a ref who consequently gives the yellow/red cards for all their theatre, foul play and delaying, they won't get far.

Greece won twice against us. It's foolish to say it was undeserved.
Edit - But, yeah, it hurt nevertheless. If I was a Greek, I would be laughing at Portugal!
Are you Greek?
