Can some one red pill me on the 2004 euros? Like how did Greece win? A lot of red ball
>>68993100
No refball. Just luck and dark arts
>>68993100
>red pill
Back to your containment board
busparking and one attempt
We choked.
good defending and setpieces
charisteas biggest aerial threat after corners
Portugal was coached by Mr. 7-1. .
>>68993278
kys
tactics so backwards nobody could deal with it anymore
They killed the game and played like a well oiled machine basically. Then some luck and dark arts.
>>68993278
You better be friendly with us Americans. Russia, America, and uk alliance is about to happen
Catenacchio and alot of luck
literallyeveryone thought about next match while playing them and got a hard wakeup call
>>68993100
Greece revived bus-parking in football which has plagued it ever since.
>>68993100
with heart determination strategy and luck
Fuck Russia
>>68993638
This
Best team in the competition (and in Portuguese history), and playing at home.
And we lost against the greeks.
Twice.
Scolari is a fucking moron
With world class defending and world class corners. And that's that.
p.s. They beat Portugal twice
>>68994212
Cringe.
Rehhagel.
>>68993100
Parked the bus and won every match 1-0.
>>68993100
Same way Poland plays atm. Good defending and lucky goals, though Greece scored most of set pieces
I don't think i have ever been more scared in my football-watching life than i was when we were playing with the czechs at the semi-finals lads.

Yes, luck played a big part as it usually does in any tournament run. Greece's strategy was
>extremely low risk
>high reward
They'd hardly even try to counter, honestly. Let alone combine or create chances... Like at all.
>sit back, stay compact
>wait for it
>...wait for it...
>somehow earn a corner or free-kick
>score
Every. Fucking. Time.
Greece may not have invented 'parking the bus' strategy, but they executed it to perfection.
Funny thing is, you can hardly call it a fluke
>beat Portugal in the opener
>beat them again in the final
>and in a post-tournament friendly
>>68996307
France was way more impressive tbqh
>>68993177
It was the single biggest bus parking in modern history. For some weird reason the only team that actually beat them was fucking Russia.
>>68996622
Portugal was also quite stacked back then senpai.Also checked
the stupid budgetturks killed my pepiks who were playing great football
fuck them

Very simple, meme magic.
>>68996622
>those triple doubles.
witnessed!
>12 years later and they still mad
Otto RehhaGOAT mastered the art of meme magic
>>68997402
not mad, just plain sad.
and disappointed.
>>68997402
>SCHAUBLE WANTS TO TAX THIS
>>68997402

>>68997478
Don't be sad amigo,history owes you a moment of absolute meme magic for that lost final
>>68997585
why? they were literally the only team we beat fair and square both times.
>>68993862
>revived
Lol, it was never dead. Thank us and the Italians for it. And we're going to keep keeping on parking the fucking bus. Amirite, Italy?
>>68998875
I want us to adopt this 352 meme.
Only position we consistently deliver high quality players is the center of defense anyways

This thread got me thinking, was the '04 final Scolari's demise? I always considered his World Cup win as spoiled rotten luck.
>that 2002 winning Brazil squad
>only a retard could pick a shit lineup from that roster
>earns reputation after winning '02 WC w/ golden gen Brazil
>gets hired to coach a great Portugal squad
>can't win a tournament in their own backyard
>has been hired, sacked, and rehired
>hasn't won anything since
Also, didn't he have a nickname at one point? Big Phil? I feel like he just milked that World Cup win and made a career off it.
>almost forgot he managed Chelsea
>tfw you will never experience 2004 euro with /sp/
>you will never witness the shitstorm
Why god.
The only time we actually did something good and won.
It would have been memetastic.
>>68994550
>Best team in the competition
What is the Czech Republic?
LA MANO DE ZEUS
Even our win was more deserved.
>>68999115
Suarez is a fluke. Check our CB's throughout history.
U Greece are BASED.
>>68999825
No, he finished 4th in 2006 and 2014 World Cups. Yeah, 7-1, but still. Also, he was one of the best and most respected coaches in Brazil when he got to manage our NT in 2002. Also, he won a Confed Cup and a Brazil Cup (in charge of Palmeiras) after he left Portugal .
