Not mad at players, dissapointed at the way they played that last game!
They played as greek players let them to play. Greek team was in the field too and with strength enough as against Rep Czec, France, ... may be portuguese players have not strength/imagination/velocity enough to look for the unique hole. You know that Figo and Ronaldo didn't pass once by Seitaridis or Fyssas. In my opinion, not because their fault but because these greek players are very good and very strengthfull. And you know that portuguese team efficacy depends very much from lateral balls.
And the team I support won almost everything in the last two years!
They only missed the EUFA SuperCup and last year's Portugueese CUP!
But those winnings have been made by a lot of players, some of them being DECO, COSTINHA, R. CARVALHO, MANICHE, N. VALENTE. These players played more matches that the usual european player.
FIGO and J. ANDRADE have played a lot of matches too (more than the usual european player).
It's possible that such past work, instead of helping them in the final of the season, can be the reason for example, why DECO falled a lot last game, COSTINHA didn't jump as usually, FIGO didn't pass Seitaridis, etc ... may be ...
I don't blame them. They did the most they could because greek players have been physically fresher than them, from the beginning of EURO2004.
You know that someday a HOT NUMBER will be beated by a COLD NUMBER, but even so it's hard to assume that now, just now!
I think we may agree that GREECE team is not imbatible
