The Greatest Underdog Story in International Football: Greece's Euro 2004 Triumph 

the only non greek who won "greek of the year" award. we called him Rehakles back then.👍

Greece won Portugal twice , France and Czechia who were the best team at that point. That's a legit achievement.

Otto Rehhagel won the Bundesliga with FCK, after playing in the 2nd division the season prior and won the Euros with Greece. How insane is this?

As for the comment at 9:40 about the Greeks keeping their composure the for last 15 minutes. That was the last play of the match. The game ended. There was no more time to be played. Greece advanced to the FINAL!

Till today Scolari does not understand that defeat😂 but he made a mistake playing Christiano as a winger. He was inexperienced especially against an opponent who knew how to defend. I never understand why Deco did not play for Brasil. For his position he had no competition in the team

There was no extra 15 minutes. It was a Silver Goal. Finished right after he scored because the first 15 minutes were up 😃

The silver goal rule was in play, so against Czechia, Rehaggel was just asking his players to stay grounded for a few more seconds after they scored, not asking them to keep their composure for another 15 minutes.

The way Greece played defense during this tournament should be studied by every coach. I've never seen a back line play so cohesively. Dellas was a monster but it took an entire team effort to prevent France, Czech Republic and Portugal from scoring a single goal in the knockout stage.

Greece the euro champion 2004 and greek team Olympiacos 2024 Europa Conference Leage.😊

You are too young to remember the silver goal.

there was no next 15 minutes against checz... It was the silver goal rule that immediately ended the game as it was scored on the 106'

after the greek goal against czechia , the time left was not 15 minutes like u said ,but under one minute !! do ur homework !!

Update: The club rivarly discussed at 2:45 is as alive as ever.
