Oh did he? I'll be honest, I'm not all that clued up on my tennis recently.
Oh BTW, odds were over 50:1 against Greece winning.
So Woot Woot! Excuse my hapiness!

Yep, I'm a Greek South African, My lineage is Greek, and I am a Greek citizen. Though I have South African citizenship as well (with permission for Dual Citizenship).
There you go, hope it's not too confusing. Truth is though, I'm proud of both my countries, though my heart lies in Greece.

Greeks are cool. In some ways they are so similar to Italians it's not even funny. I could so relate to the Big Fat Greek Wedding family even though I am Italian, some of my relatives are totally like that. Well Sicily at least, where my dad is from, was a Greek colony a loooooooong time ago, like 2,500 years ago heh. It's where Odysseus supposedly fought the cyclops IIRC. Oh and Spanakopita rocks. So does Turk...err, Greek Coffee.

But, Carnajo, you should see what your team has done to the Portuguese! I've never seen so many long faces here!
Mind you England throwing their game away to France cheered them up no end when I went down to the local bar! ;D
The problem is that it's not a knockout competition so it's all left to play. I had great hopes that England would get knocked out by the French as the English 'supporters' cause me all sorts of grief here, I have to keep apologising for them!

I'm the only Brit here. They are a simple folk. Therefore it's all my fault! ;D
Actually they, (the Brits), have been quite well behaved so far. But it's early days! ;D
