UEFA EURO 2004

Wow, I can not believe it!!! What a game! Honestly, I'm so happy it's over, the stress was getting to me!!! I was very impressed with Greece's play today. No one can say we fluked out, we beat three top ranking teams in a row, each with a score of 1-nil. In each game you could see the frustrations of the opponents as the game dragged on. It's an amazing strategy and it worked flawlessly. Otto Rehhagel is a genius!

After the game we had a long line of cars, complete with police escort, and paraded from the hall we watched the game down to our "little Italy", where the Italians were out on the street cheering our victory. In the streets there was singing and dancing, and yes, plates got smashed. :-P It was quite the experience.

Think I'll be having pork chops for dinner tonight!  :-D

Fluffy, Nice pics! I'd imagine the festivites in West Broadway/Kitsilano area would be just as exciting.

Yeah, the same thing happened here. After the initial parade, lots of Portuguese came by and we celebrated together (although they didn't stay long). They even re-paraded down the street but this time with Porto cars as well.

On the satellite I saw celebrations in Lisbon, and for a second I thought it was Greece. There were so many Greek flags there it was unreal. I hear there were over 10,000 Greeks at the stadium itself, and probably just as many who never got tickets waiting outside. And I can only imagine that all of Greece is now buring from celebrations. Crazy!!!

So if Canada played Greece who would you support?

I don't know, hard to say. Soccer means more to Greeks then it does to Canadians. I'd probably be happy with either win, but perhaps happier with a Greek win.

And if they went to war? :lol:

Well that's easy, Greece would win!  ;-)

Unfortunately, I don't have a digital camera. I'll have to see if anyone has snapped some pics. Our celebrations did manage to make it to the cover of both the Winnipeg Sun and the Winnipeg Free Press (our two major papers), so that's cool. Unfortunately, my flat bed scanner is broken...  :-(

Btw, I still can't believe it!!!  :-D
