Pure Ecstasy!!

Oops I did it again!!Charisteas celebrates Greece's winning goal


Greek Gods dont understand Portuguese...Dumbo!!

Greece has pulled out a miraculous win in Euro'04 and going by the stakes they had when the tournament began (it was 80:1), they have left every football fanatic overwhelmed.
All credit goes to them for the way they played like a well organised and displined team.Though they didnt have the star power to boot but they had the right kind of people with right kind of skills to take on any champion team.Some cynics wrote them off when they were winning match after match, saying that this is their last match but this Greece team proved sceptics wrong.And a lot of credit for this victory goes to their coach Otto Rehhagel (pardon me for the spellings :), a 65 yr. old energetic man who pumped up the team withe the right strategies at the right time and made minnows into masters.


Greece defeats France - Upset # 1


Greece defeats Czech Rebublic - Upset # 2


Final Blow - Greece defeats the home team and take on the Euro Cup 2004

One thing that I witnessed during the final match was that both the countries had their prime ministers in the stadium to cheer for their teams like any normal football fan would do.I am angered at the thought of our pot bellied PMs who try to portray themselves as someone out of the world and never make such public appearances.What could one expect from such octogenarian
PMs who find it difficult to walk ,let alone cheer for their teams.I guess India which comprises of 55% young people today need a young leader to repersent them.

Enough of the Gibberish...Let me hail the heroes and the King of Euro 2k4!!


The Heroes - Charisteas and Dellas


The Wall - Nikopolidis


The Guru of All Seasons - Otto Rehhgael
