      @@ALFZ_PDF_FILE_PSF I see what you mean , but actually there is a debate! To play in the Euro you need to qualify. That means Greece had to play 10 games prior to the tournament , and win most of them or else you're out. So it's not a 6 game tournament, but a minimum of 16. Greece was the Leicester of the Euro2004. The team consisted of good players but let's face it, they had to beat the team of the Balon d'or holder , Pavel Nedved ,Milan Baros the top scorer in the tournament, the best goalkeeper in the world Petr Cech, from Czechia who was the favourite to win the tournament... they had to win the host nation of Portugal twice(!), the team of Figo , Ronaldo , Deco, Pauletta, Carvallo, Tiago, Gomes... They had to dethrone the winners of Euro 2000, France, the team of Zidane, Barthez, Henry, Lizarazu, Makelele , Desailly... And let's not forget the team of Spain!... Greece never won a group stage game prion to Euro2004 and only qualified once in 1980!!!!

      The same thing happened with Sokratis Papastathopoulos in the 2014 World Cup. After scoring the final minute goal against Costa Rica, there were memes with him celebrating the goal and saying "I'm not getting married!". Unfortunately we didn't progress past that. Still, being in the 16 best countries was one hell of an achievement for Greece. The problem was we could have beaten Costa Rica and go to the quarter finals, we played better than them but we were unlucky in that match.

We started being happy just for being in Euro and then these dudes gave us moments we'll always remember. Damn i was a kid back then and now I'm about to start a family for Christ's sake. How time flies is truly amazing.

    Summer of 2004! I had just turned 11! What I remember about the Euro 2004 experience as a Greek is that we as a family were ordering pizzas and watching the mach, something we never did prior to that! And every single game we were surprised we were winning, but then again after a certain point there was a common belief among every Greek that.. give it some time and a goal will come! It was such a belief that even though the odds were against us we felt the opposite, like there's no way the goal isn't coming! And the final.. oh man! I just remember taking the Greek flag inside our car and cruising while screaming! Such an amazing memory to have! I'm so grateful for what those guys gave as a nation, and also gave me as a kid! Thanks so much guys!

    The moment Dellas scored against the Czech Republic is still the happiest moment of my life. I remember violently hugging with a friend of mine and shouting in each other's ears at the top of our lungs, we almost lost our hearing right there. Then we grabbed our flags and stormed to the streets, we celebrated like crazy, got back home in the morning and bought all the newspapers to read about our triumph over and over... And it was "just" the semifinal. Ecstatic days that we will never forget... Thank you guys 💙🤍

I remember celebrating Charisteas' goal against Portugal with almost half the energy we celebrated the Czech Republic goal - which is still a lot! But somehow we expected it, somehow we were sure we will win, I don't know how to explain it. Then, of course, when we actually did it, it felt surreal... Even now it does. We were in a nirvana-like state for a month or so... Incredible, undescribable feeling.

    Story time from a Greek, a very vivid memory in my life.
    I was 10 years old watching the game ( the silver goal). My father had a TV out in our garden and the whole neighbourhood was there. I was in the living room with a friend watching the game on another TV. It was one of the final moments and it was a corner.
    I tell my friend, “If we score now don’t scream because my sister is sleeping”. We scored, header from Christeas, I start screaming out of my lungs, the whole neighbourhood lights up (I get goosebumps writing this), my poor friend looks at me, wants to scream but doesn’t. I gave him the affirmative look, he starts screaming also, my sister wakes up 😂.
    My uncle was a trucker, we jump into the truck and drive downtown honking and screaming. The whole city was there, a fucking sea of people all in blue. The whole country united in a single moment. Absolutely insane.
    Those were the days of unity. Those were glorious days.
