greek surprise

According to the sport media last night's Greek success in Euro 2004 caused a major upset. I can't really confirm this and would rather call it a "greek surprise".

Recent successes of greek and turkish teams (semis of last World Cup) don't really upset me and to be honest it surpises me that we haven't seen evidence of their fottball abilities any earlier. During my years as an active club footballer in Germany, I saw many very talented greek and turkish players. I also think that the large greek and turkish communities in germany enabled these nations to replicate good football education in their home countries.

So well done to the greek - I always knew you had it in you (and that's where I put my money before the tournament !).
