SilentStatic   10 #1 Posted July 4, 2004 Just watched Greece beat Portugal (again) in a Greek restaurant What a result, what an atmosphere, what a team  The goalkeeper was outstanding, and so was the ref *feeling very proud to be (half) Greek* Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
t020 Â Â 11 #2 Posted July 4, 2004 Just by way of highlighting the importance of football in America, if you go to the sports section of msn.com (http://msnbc.msn.com/id/3032113/) and scroll RIGHT DOWN to the bottom under the section "Other Sports" (LOL) you will see the story about the Euro 2004 final.

t020 Â Â 11 #3 Posted July 4, 2004 I'm surprised no-ones mentioned the Barcelona idiot of a fan that ran on to the pitch near the end, being chased by dozens of stewards and cops and then diving into the back of the net. I found it hilarious! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
SilentStatic   10 #4 Posted July 5, 2004 Yeah, that was the only way anything could find the back of that net Surprised not one security guy managed to stop him before he made it all the way over there, but it was funny. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
Ollie   10 #5 Posted July 6, 2004 That was the funniest thing! He ran full speed into the net!! Haha! The worrying thing is that if he was a crazed mentalist who wanted to stab one of the players or the ref, he would have easily done it!!

SilentStatic   10 #6 Posted July 6, 2004 Mm, I think he threw a Barcelona scarf into Figo's face - that could easily have been a knife... ...but it wasn't, so it was funny Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
Andy78 Â Â 10 #7 Posted July 7, 2004 When watching UK football coverage, if someone invaded the pitch, the camera would look away, at the crowd or something. Not the Portuguese, they show a slow motion action replay from behind the goal to show the guy's face as he hits the net. Classic!
