Are you blind?

Too much envy :rolleyes: (don't know if it's the right term :blush: )

It's a contact sport for god's sake!

You Portuguese are a bunch of girls.

C. Ronaldo crying was the highlight of the final.

BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAH!!!!! :laugh:

Are we really supposed to believe that Greek team is the best in Europe today?

This was the most disappointing Euro Championship quality-wise in 30 years I follow it!!!

If everyone now will accept their style of playing who will watch it/pay $100 for a ticket...

Is the club football and all the money it attracts now the only game in town left?

World Cup is a bummer every four years it is being played outside of Europe and now this, bad news for us fans all...

Boohoo!

Now's the "contact sport" excuse!

Of course it is a contact sport!

And that is why the gk cannot be pushed/shoved!

Because the gk is the only player that can grab the ball!

That's the reason why the gk is a protected player inside his 5 meter box!

If I shove the goalkeeper he cannot grab the ball, something that the other players can't do, and by doing that I'm stealing his given advantage there!

Give me a break, will ya?!

Well done Greece! I enjoyed every second of the game, awesome defending with Dellas in a league of his own. Also impressed with how they closed down Deco, Figo and C. Ronaldo, Portugal looked a very average side imo. Seitaridis really impressed me as well, one of the players of the tournament. I do not understand those people who cannot see that good defending is just as good as good attacking, defenders never get the credit compared to attacking players.

Also why oh why does Deco, Figo and C. Ronaldo have to throw themselves to the floor everytime they get the slightest of touches. Deco is in a league of his own there, I think he should win something for that :D.

LOL... yeah... Greece doesn't have any stars... that's why they play by eliminating opponent skills... Does that make them a bad team? Maybe not a good team, but smart, you must admit...

English kids (not all), stop bashing the portuguese team. Our team is better than yours, period.

Because of that kind of arguments, your country it's unloved by a lot of others. Stop with that arrogance. You're no better than anyone. When England was eliminated I saw a LOT of nations very happy- Germany, France, Italy and others. English sometimes make fool of themselves.

We lost to Greece but we are not complaining. Our football was not enough to beat that defence.

Learn with us. We are a small country but our sympathy and hospitality are FAR BIGGER than yours.

Their tactic is quite simple.

When defending, they use a double layer of 5 defenders all the time.

If the second layer gets the ball, they quickly throw her into the opposite half.

If the first layer gets the ball, they lauch a quick counter-attack basicly made of fast pace triangulations by Giannakopoulos, Charisteas and Vryzas through the middle.

Zagorakis and Basinas are used to close the wings if the opponents attacked and support the frontmen by kicking the ball from one lateral into the other.

NINJA! :ninja:

tiagosilva you faked that pic..shame on you for that :p

why can't you just admit, that greece was better than portugal. you are trying to blame your defeat on the "defensive" tactics of the greeks. :pinch:

as for my comment: HELLAS!!!! :shifty:  :laugh:

Actually, sir... that was a screenshot from the Euro2004 site!

Speaking of that, you may also go there to see the stats, to prove yourself that the greeks were better than the French, the Czech and the Portuguese! (Yes, you can't...!):yes:

Greece wasn't the best squad in the championship.

They won because they were *smart*, like nw_raptor said.

//And yes, *smart* implies the strictly defensive tactics with a few counter-attacks.

But, I'm still proud of hosting this campionship and of playing in the final. :happy:

    • Windows 8 and Vista were far worse. Both of those got marginally better at the very end. Just look at their adoption rates and support life-span. If those versions had as much social media in their time they would have ripped apart unmercifully.
    • I must admit, this is probably the only game at the moment where I can see that $80 price point being ok. The issue will be when other developers think they can get away with it with half of the work.
    • Google Wallet expands TSA PreCheck Touchless ID access to more travellers by Fiza Ali Google has announced that Google Wallet is becoming the first digital wallet to integrate with TSA PreCheck Touchless ID. It is a programme that lets eligible travellers move through participating airport security checkpoints using facial recognition instead of showing a physical ID or boarding pass. While the TSA PreCheck Touchless ID programme has been available for some time, using it hasn't always been straightforward. The programme currently operates at 65 airports across the US, but participation has largely depended on flying with a limited number of airlines. Travellers also had to upload passport information separately through participating carriers. Now, the tech giant's new integration is designed to remove some of those extra steps. With the update rolling out in the coming weeks, travellers with TSA PreCheck membership will be able to enrol in Touchless ID through Google Wallet and use the service with any of the 100 airlines participating in the programme. Rather than repeatedly submitting identification details, users can store a digital ID in Google Wallet and use it to streamline future trips. Setting up the feature is relatively straightforward as well. The process starts with users creating a digital ID in Google Wallet using their passport information. After checking in for a flight and saving a boarding pass to the app, eligible travellers will see a "Get started" option that directs them to the TSA enrolment process. Once users choose to share their ID pass and boarding pass information with the TSA for a specific trip, the agency will verify the enrolment. If approved, a TSA PreCheck Touchless ID indicator will appear on the boarding pass stored in Google Wallet, signalling that the traveller can use designated express Touchless ID lanes at participating airports. As privacy and security are likely to be key considerations for many travellers, Google says users must explicitly opt in before any information is shared with the TSA, and authentication is required through a device PIN, pattern, or biometric verification. The company also notes that digital IDs stored in Google Wallet remain encrypted and are kept on the user's device. For frequent flyers who already use TSA PreCheck, the new integration could remove a few more steps from the airport security process, making travel slightly faster and a little less cumbersome.
    • Even though MS had to sunset the Windows Subsystem for Android, you can apparently use BlueStacks to run Android in Windows now. I haven't tested this yet, so if anyone has any feedback, I'd love to hear it.
