That team was good, but awfully boring.

this is probably the strongest national team of all times tho

>>76690795
Greece 04 faced really strong teams and beat them. Portugal drew garbage and won their only game with chokers.

Either way, the worst team to ever win a championship is Canada's Gold Cup in 2000.

>>76690884
yeah and they won
any autist can be a revisionist and check that a team wasn't nearly as strong as they were hyped up to be, doesn't mean they weren't good

that Spain was obviously better than Paraguay, though

>>76690891
I was rooting for you in 06 and was genuinely upset when Portugal beat England in quarters
Mostly because I support Liverpool and lost my shit when Carra missed his pen and Ronaldo scoring the winner

>>76690873

>>76690782
Unironically our best team ever

>>76690814
3 international trophies in a row, first team ever to archive that.

>>76690908

The goal of a sport is to win, it doesn't matter what you considered as fun. For me was fun watch Spain winning over and over again, i don´t care if you get bored, really.

>>76690927
Completely carried by the refs. Only 2008 can been considered legit.

>>76690986
Even you're countrymen at forocoches says Spanish matches are extremely boring to watch lol.

>>76690995
Ok, winning is boring. You´ll never know.

>>76690814
Rather see Spain at least pass the ball around than a Mourinho-esque team busparking and playing dirty.

Pic related, the worst Mexico of all time, fucking Trinidad that beat a terrible Costa Rica, and a Colombian B side.

>>76690938
I don't know what you're trying to defend.
Greece came in 2nd in a relatively hard group, beating the hosts and drawing Spain. That France team ended up going to the WC final in 2 years, and that was both Portugal's and Czech Republic's golden era. It was also in a format where there were less teams, no benefits for coming in 3rd, and much higher concentration in quality of teams. Croatia, Poland, or Wales wouldn't have come out of group stage from that tournament.

>>76691031
The fact that you won a coin toss against Korea makes that tournament """""victory""""" all the more terrible.

>>76691027
That has nothing to do with the fact that they won it playing well enough and against some strong opponents, all while actually winning games, usually in regulation.

>>76691027
It didn't erase you bitterness about previous Spain's success, was not enough. Maybe the next spain`s failure bring you some peace.

>>76690938

>really strong teams

France were the cup holders and reached the WC final two years later.
The Czechs were probably the best team in the tournament and the only team that deserved it other than Greece.
Portugal were the hosts and the favourite to win it at home.
Those were strong teams.

All lost with the exact same scoreline, with the exact same goal, right wing cross and header. Something that happens 3 times in 3 tough games is not just luck. Hell, the only "luck" in those games was Nedved's injury.

>>76690795
almost as if the Memey comet comes around every 12 years

>>76691085
They were the best team in the league that season.

>>76691111
Everyone else was shit, they just had a strong work ethic and exactly the right combination of players.

Great achievement but they weren't a "great" team.

>>76690795
Greece 2004 won by pure strategic genius of the manager and sheer dermination, careful tactical application and hard work of the players.
On paper it looks like a "worst team", because Greeks didn't have fancy famous players. But it showed the world that football is played and won by TEAMS, where the sum in greater than its parts. So in short, Greece was one of the best TEAM to ever win an Euro, pretty the contrary than your point.

I fail to see how a team who was the laughing stock of the 2002wc and a team who did not qualify for the 2002wc were the best teams in 2004 but yea sure whatever floats your boat.
best teams in the respective qualifiers =/= best teams in the world.

They couldn't even win a double like Brazil or Italy. Or two U-17 championships like Mexico, the dormant GOAT, that will soon put the world of football under the sleave of Juan Carlos Osorio, a.k.a. The Tactician GOAT, Osorio says his secret is that he writes the good things with a blue pen and the bad ones with a red one, that way he remembers what his squad did good and what they did wrong. He also plays tall players against tall oposition, because he's very worried about the "aerial game". This makes the man known as "the GOAT gaffer" be able change up to 8 players per game with his tactical mastermind and still dominate team like Honduras, New Zeland or the legendary Klinsmann U.S. team (winner of the 2013 Gold Cup, nearly eliminated Belgium in the World Cup :D !!!). He also asked someone near Liverpool's training grounds to lend him a table to watch the liverbirds train. He decided he would stay as an illegal inmigrant for a while and started to watch manager Houllier train his lads from a window in an elder's house using binoculars. Juan Carlos says he learned "a lot" from "that experience" . Osorio says his worst moment was when he managed to get the biggest lose in the history of Mexico but he retired to a place far away, went for a sleepover and Bielsa's place and came back after two months later, with a long beard and assuring every it would "never happen" again, he has managed to keep his word so far. His lead will surely make opposition tremble, so watch out for Mexico in the world cup. Remember sharing is caring. Like, like, reboard, follow in the link below.

Denmark and Portugal had pretty good squad. It was unexpected that they won but not unexpected in the same way that Greece won. Anyway the Euros is a tough cup to win (the toughest according to experts) precisely because you don't have any cannon fodder. Even the "weak" teams are good and can win.

>>76691559
The good thing about our 2016 squad is that it was balanced between starting 11 and the bench. That allowed Fernando Santos to rotate the team throughout the 7 matches. I could tell at least that Poland and France were more tired than our players halfway through the respective matches.

Our coach is doing meme rotations in the confed cup again. After 2 matches, only 5 players haven't played yet and 2 of them are keepers.
I suspect Semedo, Pizzi and Luís Neto will play against NZ.

Greece was an upset but Czechoslovakia, France and Portugal and Spain were probably the only 4 favorites to win the Euro 2004. And we progressed facing all of them.

I bet you didnt say anything similar for Costa Rica when they escaped the Group of death in 2014 , coz u re just butthurt that Romania got btfoed by Greece pretty recently, when your media were spamming how "lucky" and "favoretable" this draw was for you.

Portugal's Euro records:

Euro 2012 - Semi - Finalists
Euro 2016 - Winners

Portugal has been consistently one of the top sides in European football since 2000. Unlike Greece or Denmark which were complete long shots, Portugal winning in 2016 was something that was a long time coming.

The fact this many people are so butt hurt about Portugal winning makes me wish they win everything for the next few years just to harvest the salt.
