July 5, 2004 Congratulations Greece
Hmm. Call me spiteful but it was worth seeing the underdogs, Greece, win against Portugal in the finals. Call it pay back for eliminating both England and the Netherlands. And to add the cherry to the cake, I got to see Ronaldo cry. Yes, boys and girls, confirmation that even if you are top class footballer, considered worthy of being prime alpha male material, you still look like a little girl when you cry in public. Regrettably, not THE Ronaldo or his buck-toothed little sibling, but still a cocksure Ronaldo brought down a peg.
Well done Greece. Now the rest of Europe can start to alight you of all your football talent with lucrative signings and the like. Heaven knows, you need the money.
Wonder what will happen to the guy who disrupted the match? I hope he makes it out of Portugal alive. Wonder if that country still maintains it’s secret police?

Thanks Nadim. Being hearing from cousins in Cyprus and Greece today, reports of total madness everywhere. It’s amazing, and humbling, to see an entire people, including young, old, and those not even interested in football, united by such an event. Who says sport isn’t worth all that money?
