yasou boyz im greek, ive been readin tha site for about a day and i came across this link..........cmon seriously bro u think that if greece can make the semis u guys can? how do u come to that conclusion? u think were ****?

WERE (past tense) ****. Not anymore, although I saw the writing on the wall in the tan game in Manchester two years ago! If you can improve from a team that had been to just two finals and had one draw (against Holland in 1980 was it?) to show, then there is hope for everyone.

Possibly el siete secretos again? Anyway I think he's implying that we're sh*te ourselves for thinking we could ever apsire to such lofty heights as European championship semi-finalists. BTW anyone remember Gelsenkirchen 1988? Eight minutes to go, flukey bounce from Kieft, Van Basten off-side, semi - final waiting if we drew.

looking at Greece winning it... that could have been us.

If we had been there, in the words of a late actor, "we cudda 'ad class... we cudda been contenders".

Well I fancied Greece, they beat us at home in a friendly in 2000 and
not many teams do that.

Also they had already beaten Portugal in their group and they had
knocked out the mighty French and the fancied Czech's yet they were 4-1 to win the match which I though was ridiculously long odds

Anyway I didn't think they would concede a goal cos they defend well
so I went for a 1:0 win at 8-1.

My £2.50 made me £20 and put my online acount back into profit

I did have to sweat it out from the 58th minute though.

I was also gonna have a bet on Sharapova for the tennis but
unfortunately I didn't get on her on time (so to speak)

Ouuuuch!! Anyone see Tom Humphries in the Observer Sports mag? No great fan of 'five dinners' after the sh*t he caused with you-know-who, but he was excellent about In-ger-land. Claimed that when Argentina knocked out the tans in France 98 he jumped up in the press box in St Etienne and 'discgraced myself'. He didn't shout 'Las Islas Malvinas Argentinas' but it was what he was thinking. He blames the police for all the hooliganism over the years: 'Beery and xenophobic, given to urinating in public places and completely unaccustomed to sunshine, they are trained to have hair trigger tempers. It's in their make-up to 'over react' and become 'heavy handed'. Those pesky police. No matter where they go their reputation precedes them. It's a minority, of course, because most of them are good police, but that's little consolation when they start breaking windows and urging local women to get their tits out for the lads.' Priceless!
