Editorial Analysis & Historical Context
Rigorous Analysis: Greece won Euro 2004 by playing the most defensive, anti-football style ever witnessed, and they have spent the last twenty years trying to replicate it. They treat the opponent's penalty box like it is radioactive.
They are the ultimate tournament spoilers—boring to watch, defensive to a fault, and completely harmless once you score first. A team that turned parking the bus into a national art form.
