Greek Victory Stuns Soccer Fans

Monday July 5, 2004
Against all expectations until their upset victories over first the Portuguese team, the French, and the Czechs, Greece has won the Euro 2004 soccer final, soundly defeating the Portuguese a second time on their own home turf in Lisbon.

The Star has the details on this remarkable victory which permanently places Greece on the soccer fan map. BBC Sports gives an account of the crucial plays that make the Greeks the European Champions for the next four years.

If you're traveling in Greece right now, be aware that there will be celebrations on Monday which may disrupt some public transportation and create extra traffic challenges.
