They sure won but I would hardly call them the best team.
When you beat the best teams france (the ultimate favourites for the euro),CZE and also portugal twice at home then for me you are definetely the best team!
you idiot, isn't the object of the game to win? Does it matter how you win? And who the hell cares what other people think about how you win. I hated every minute of the damned final because Greece was in it, but give them respect. They beat France, the most talented team in the tournament. They beat Portugal twice!! They drew Spain and they beat the best, most offensive team in the tourney, the Czechs. Everyone would have loved to have seen a final of the Czechs and the Portuguese, but Greece was the only real TEAM in the tournament. There wasn't a single minute of the game where they were in trouble except for when Ronaldo chipped it over the crossbar. Portugal was reduced to firing shots from well outside the box. Greece had absolute control over their defensive box and no matter what fantasyworld you are living in, England and Spain had absolutely no realistic shot at winning the tournament. Congratulations Greece, fucking party crashers, thanks for ruining the final.
Whoops, sorry for the rant, didn't see your second last sentence.
They are the best TEAM. By that I mean they were the only team where every player seemed to know that the other player could be counted on to make the right play. Every other country that lost had problems with mix-ups in defensive markings and also inner squabbles. The Greeks were the only team that seemed to play together all the time. That makes them the best team. They took that saying about no "I" in team and ran with it.
