au revoir, les bleus

fantastic, just fantastic!

if the greek team were to dispel any suggestion that they performance so far in euro 2004 was unexpected, they have done it with the victory over the holders, france.

even i thought that france would win this tie comfortably, but the greeks held on tight and scored with a perfect set play goal.

i wonder what was the deal with henry and trezeguet though, they didnt have that spark at all!

but its a neat underdog victory story. i love surprises like this. if sweden gets through tonight, then we will be looking at the unlikeliest of the semi finals. and if czech wins, then i guess it will be a semi finals consisting of teams which never won the title before.

right now, the supposed top 5 in europe are gone; italy, germany, spain, england and now france.

lets hope tonight's match is as interesting.
