A spot of Greek
Congratulations to Greece, who've successfully proved that it is impossible to predict the outcome of any football match with certainty. Having privately tipped the Czech's to do the business, I can at least point to their silver goal defeat as some kind of face saver; after all, they almost got through to the final.

That said, I still thought Portugal would have too much for the Greeks, but thanks to some resolute defending, and a bloody minded refusal to use either of the ex-Newcastle players in their squad, they ran out deserved winners.

So well done - bet they can't wait for the Olympics to start now.
