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

Well, after the game I walked up to the Drive. We had some impromptu celebration. We didn't have any police escort but two cops on bikes showed up after a while and rode back and forth for a while.

I took a few pics and put them up here.

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!!!

Congrats Greece!

I wish I'd had a punt on the Greeks at the start of the tournament, that would've been worth a tenner.

@Mike
So if Canada played Greece who would you support?
And if they went to war? :lol:

I saw Kent play Essex yesterday, and even though I was born in Essex, I supported Kent, because I've spent all but a month of my life here.

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.

I just found out that I've won the office pool. We bet on a points system and the team with the most points pays out. Turns out the Czech Republic comes out ahead by our count coz of all the lovely goal scoring!!

I put $2.00 in and my total winnings is ....











$2.00! Hooray.It seems that I was the only person who bothered to put my money in. Now I have it back. Karmic!
