so its back to where euro 2004 started. portugal vs greece. will portugal amend their only mistake so far, or will the greeks go for a super upset?
its unimaginable to believe that prior to this year's euro, greece had not won a single match in the finals of a major competition. and when they did it, they go all the way to the final match.
amazing script for a movie.
but i honestly think that it'll be portugal's night come sunday. (monday, for us)
as for last night's match.. czech's battle ended the moment pavel nedved limped off with injury. i mean the whole team revolves around him, without him to navigate the team, the team was in tatters. greece maintained control and like they did against france, punished the czech's with a set play, which took a long time to come, as a silver goal.
it'll be an exciting final, a first for both teams. host nation's joy, or a prelude to a great athens olympics? the greek's unexpected surprise is working well to curve the attention from its poor preparation for hosting the olympics.
but it'll be a perfect finale for figo and co's 'golden generation' of '91. so as ive done all along, im backing portugal.
