The Greeks are not as boring to watch as some people make out but they do know how to squeeze the life out of a game and then hit you when it matters. But I found the first game of the tournament between Greece and Portugal quite a good one.
Greece fancy themselves as a good diving nation as well, conning the referee into free-kicks to hold up play and cheating to their advantage. But Portugal are in a different league when it comes to that kind of stuff, Figo, Deco, Ronaldo, Ricardo, these guys are trained pros and being the home nation they will get the benefit of the doubt from the referee. Greece will have their work cut out from the start, but good luck to them.

If Greece wins it'll be by 1 goal (0-1, 1-2...).

Don't care really. If Greece win, I'll be happy. If Figo and Rui Costa finally get a title with Portugal, I'll also be happy

hum
greece opened portugal's eyes on the first game, so portugal won't underestimate greece again
since then portugal has been unbeatable, and we only have to pay attention to 2 men (the others are defending.. )
i'm pretty confident we'll win
Hmmmm.... Difficult! Hopefully we will see a good final, may the best team win!
