The saddest day of any football fan in Portugal. The country froze, the streets were so silent...but our Greek brothers and their fighting spirit definitely deserved that championship. Great memories still

[@DimShamrock]

Only one guy has an international trophy in this interview, and it's not Rio Ferdinand. 😆

[@papalupa]

I remember in Nigeria in Secondary School, the match against France made us all support Greece, we were celebrating Greece winning like Greece was Nigeria hahaha

[@steamy10]

When Charisteas scored I started running and found myself 2 kilometers away from the square where I was watching the game. My best friend was looking for me and I don't remember anything. Best day of my life for real.

The biggest underdog success story in the history of football

[@tonyshiakallis7878]

I never expected to see Angelos with Rio! Outstanding interview.

Greece and Leicester were unreal. Like a fairytale.

If you ask any random Greek guy off the street "who was the best greek player in 2004 ?" , you 'll get 20 different answers and most likely the name Rechagel would make the most up. Charisteas says it best here in the interview. TEAMS win tournaments. They put their egos aside and hence they lifted it.

Greece is a great nation not a small one. Population is small but the nation and its history are colossal.

[@EKTELESTES]

I loved how Rio realized this was one of the toughest routes to a final EVER and emphasized there was NO luck involved! What they forgot to mention was...Greece won this without a single match going to penalties and only 1 match going to the extra time! So, they ABSOLUTELY DESERVED IT!

The pirate ship of the Euro 2004 🇬🇷🇬🇷🇬🇷🇬🇷

[@dimibous4.27.30.]

You have no idea what happened in greece after the final whistle.. you can't imagine.. Very lucky to live these moments..

[@jimbo007777]

My best football experience ever... thanks greece 🇬🇷

[@tidalus]

One of the biggest surprise runs ever for a national team along with Denmark in 92.

[@de_grecia]

I'm a 43 year old grown ass man and I cried watching this

[@brakmaster]

As a Greek this was the greatest night of my life. We didn't sleep that night. Everyone was out on the streets celebrating.

Ο Άγγελος της Ελλάδας ❤️👏
