I was in two minds who I wanted to win, Greece for being the underdogs and Portugal for the 10 credits.

But I`m glad Greece won.

Yeah, alright, but....

it was a shit game and the last few games have been poor haven't they? Usually it's the group stage that let's you down before the high drama and excitement of the knockouts. However, I just can't get excited about a defensive and boring Greek side beating all those fancy-dans. I like fancy-dans!

I'm so glad Greece won, mainly because Portugal shouldn't have even made it this far but for a cunty ref. Also, Greece has the sexier women.

Boring.

Early goal due to a defensive error by the 'not-as-good-as-they-think-they-are' Portuguese then 65 minutes watching the footballing equivalent of a Polish animated feature film.

I feel like I've wasted three weeks of my life on this shit.

I just feel a bit empty. I mean, yeah.. it's cool that one of the outsiders won the tournament, but the football they played to get there was awful.

I like the eventual winners to excite me with nice football, not bore me to death. In my opinion, despite their Semi-final defeat the Czechs were the team of the tournament.

the Czechs were definitely robbed by that 'Silver Goal'. I agree. they were the true kings.

If England had played like Greece did (and make no mistake, they would have), they'd be spat on by the whole of Europe. It was like watching England play Holland on a bad day.

It was fucking good to see Christiano 'twat headed smug fucker' Ronaldo crying at the end though. :D

Oh, yes.

And that little dance he did, 'one trick too many' as Motty put it, before being unceremoniously dispossessed by Zagorakis just outside the 18-yard box...

Al together now "You're not as good as you think you are..."

A great day for Greece, but I can't help feeling a little disappointed by the tournament as a whole. Greece may have deserved it, but it's a bit of an anti-climax the way they won it. They didnt go out to play a certain style, they looked at the opposition and played accordingly by stiffling their opponents flair players. Yes that's good management, but was anyone entertained by them at all? Probably one of the least talented and exciting champions as far as I can remember.

As for Ronaldo, I'm glad he was crying because it showed that he really cared, because sometimes he looks like he doesn't give a shit. He had a good tournament and looks as if he could be one of the next load of superstars.

Yeah, Stan's right.

Also a minor point: the Greeks were the better team and deserved to win.
