Euro 2004

[Guest CurryMan]

According to there supporterpage this is a description of Mikael Nilsson.

Strenghts:

"Mini" is a complett midfielder, with his passing as his strong point. He is a strong man to man player with a good mind for going one and one down the pitch. He has a good shoot and he scores alot of goals as a midfielder. He has a "winninghead" (hates to lose and wants to wins against all odds)

 

Weakness:

Few if any, Micke can be abit uneven and sometimes disapear from the matches. But during 2003 this was something that happend to most of the team so you shouldn´t think to much in to this.

I would say that he is a decent midfielder that also can play wingback if he gets abit more training with it, right now he isn´t my first choise there. He is like most swedes a decent team player who doesn´t make much sound of himself, he will probebly not start crying if he misses some games or something like that. According to the newspapers it seems like he will join Southampton trough Bosman which probebly would be something negative either he will be rundown in the body when he arrives with playing alot of matches and no holiday or he won´t play that much because of Halmstad wants to train up some one new to take his place.

Stick a fork in its done.

 

Greece pull off the biggest upset in modern International football and walk off with the European Championship, simultaneously breaking the collective heart of Portugal and sending the whole of Greece in mass hysteria.

 

But perhaps best of all (for Anorak anyway) is that Theo Zagorakis, the man most famed for 40 yard strikes against Manchester United when Leicester have conceded six, lifts the trophy as captain, as he sets a new Greek Appearance record of 95 caps.

Fairytale ending for Greece. (Felt like Funaki defeat Eddie for the WWE Title.) It's certainly a great upset...the Greeks have their gameplan, and followed it well. Portugal...*shakes head*...although having the majority of the possession, they just can't capitalize...they didn't move the ball upfield fast enough, giving the Greeks time to pull back every single player to defend. To their credit, the Greeks were very poised/confident in defence and launching their counter-attacks. Well, now it's over and done.

 

Overall, Euro '04 was enjoyable...good matches and shocks aplenty.

Greece winning Euro 2004 was one of the fucking greatest sporting moments of all time

[Anorak]

Everybody was cheering on the greeks at the pub. Zagorakis got cheered for being an ex-City player of course (that was a belter in the 2-6 Man Utd game!) and everybody cheered and clapped at the final whistle and then laughed at Ronaldo crying.

 

Thought we had upset somebody coming home from the pub last thursday when the car behind was honking at us only to be put straight at the traffic lights when a couple of blokes started leaning out waving Greek flags. Along with that Russian girl winning Wimbledon its been a good couple of days for underdogs getting unlikely glory, would have been worth a good double bet a month ago.

Where I live there are a load of greek students renting houses in the area and by crikey it was noisey last night!

The best place to be in Leicester on Sunday evening was Grimsby Fisheries on Welford Road. I heard free food was given away a go-go.

The greek chip shop owner near me was selling large kebabs for £1.50 and the poor sod had a TV in the corner so it must have been difficult concentrating on his customers during the match.
