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

[@GothPaoki]

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

[@Auraniwastaken]

I was 11 years old at the time but the memory of every greek screaming in joy in every game will never fade away. Quite literally everyone and their mothers were invested, good times

[@Danny-sd5vm]

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.

[@HKvideo-yz5pv]

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.

[@Max.Hartmann]

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

I will always remember the Euro 2004 , a true loving memory! Μπράβο Ελλάδα!

[@SpartanLeonidas1821]

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

[@KyriZee]

In 2004, there was the Silver Goal rule in OverTime. In the semi-final, there was no 15 minutes to play after 1-0. The game ended seconds later after Czechia were allowed to make one possession.

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?

[@mrmickmida7035]

Just look what teams won their national titles and european titles that year

[@ΧρήστοςΚαψάλης-σ5φ]

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!

[@azampros]

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'

[@giannismallios1808]

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

[@ΧρήστοςΚαψάλης-σ5φ]

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

[@ruudten]

You are too young to remember the silver goal.

[@arfenmalik1717]

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

[@souparnaseth1368]

You again here ? with your stupid football opinion

[@panosgarg6094]

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

[@Constantine_IA]

Panathinaikos ☘️reached the European Champions Final in 1971 against Cruyff's Ajax and 2 semi finals against Liverpool 1985 & Ajax 1996 it's the most successful Greek FC the last 53 years The whole Euro 2004 miracle was based on Panathinaikos 2000-2003 team 8 Panathinaikos players played for Greece 2004

[@SteliosAxios]

Ρε μεγάλε, το βίντεο μιλάει για την εθνική κι εσύ έσπευσες να μας πεις για την πανάθα; Γι αυτό από τότε δεν πετύχαμε τίποτα άλλο.

[@goodtaste8791]
