yes, well done to greece. and quite unexpected, as well!
let's hope there's another unexpected result tomorrow in the england match!
And what exactly do you mean by that, Agent? 
Yes, well done Greece. First win in the finals of a major championship.
Again, well done Greece. 
It's always fun watching Portugal's Brazilian coach Felipe Scolari losing another match. 
Conggrats to Greece. :)
But the big question is just how awful were portugal? Atrocious doesnt describe it fully. All the big names were failures. Harsh but true.
I hate to be "an after-christ prophet" (a nice expression we use here), but i had great faith in our team. I wasnt sure that we 'd win this one of course, in fact i forbided myself to be optimistic, because of my fear of great dissapointment if things turned out the wrong way.
But i was so delighted to be proved right: It was about time a Greek national football team finally makes us Greeks proud, and believe me, this generation of players isnt the best Greece ever had, but they certainly make the best team, the best fighters and with the best attitude towards great games like these...
So, THANKS Mr. Otto and guys. U convienced me not to get drunk YET, but to save this for the days to come ;) 
I didn't see the entire game, but it looked like you certainly deserved your victory from what I saw. Well done!
SP...how did you know what the result was when I played the England-France game on my X-box???
of course, I didn't have Rooney...I think the goals went to Owen, Scholes, Trezeg-however you spell his name, Beckham, then Scholes again!!!
congrats! unexpected maybe but possible against the portugueses. you have to understand those poor portuguese players. it´s hard to run or play with a freezer in your chest, if you know what i mean!

ok, i will. here in Argentina (and many countries around here too) we say someone is a "cold chest" when he disappears from the great ocasions. in sports, that is. Portugal, although having great players, always failed because they don´t have the "sacred fire" inside of them. they can win a couple of matches but when they HAVE to win they just don´t. it happens with Holland too. i think everyone likes the "hot blooded" players (in any sport), the ones who love playing and give their life for the team. i like players with fire on the chest and not ice. and Portugal doesn´t seem to have any. that´s why for me they´re "cold chests" and that´s why i made the joke about them having a freezer on their chests. 
if you still don´t get it i´ll try to be more speciffic!
