So far, this tournament has not produced a single prediction with some slight exception to Portugal. Greece was a far cry to make it to the Quarters let alone the Finals.
Both are teams that many have complained about. Diving, Simulation, Good Football, exciting outcomes, and breaking out players, some old and some new.
I will go with Portugal just because their home. But so far, every team that I have picked that went up against Greece has come out the loser.
Who do you think will be the victor on Sunday?

they complain to us about good football, because they want to see football as if they were playing fifa 2004 on playstation

The odds still favor Portugal. They are the host nation, and they have extra impetus because of their loss earlier to the Greeks. Scolari and Otto, the two most canny tacticians in the tournament, must be figuring out schemes to thwart each other.
It's pretty cool that this tournament will end the same way it started: Greeks vs Portugal. Defense versus attack.
I foresee a minor feud brewing no matter what the outcome, with Greece and Portugal becoming arch-rivals in the future. You can never have too few rivalries!;)

Well you got your dream.
The first half was so dull. The play really picked up in the second. I thought Portugalwould score in the last 10 minutes, but they culdn't get around those Greek Defenders. Congrats to the Greeks.

that's the best thing about greece it's there defence, and goalie. that's the most important part then the goal scoring,

Just a question for you people that critize Greece....
I was listening to some radio show today ..
and It was wondering what happened to players like Figo, Zidane, Rolando, and whomeever else gets paid MILLIONS of dollars for there talent.
and They wondered why.. they coudln't pass through the greek defence..
why is it??
Also i have seen the last couple of games twice, everyone says the greek players are always in the box,, I think you guys need some prescription glasses and open your eyes a bit more, and YOULL see the greeks playing everywhere on the field LIKE FOOTBALL is supposed to be.
so why are you guys wasting your time critizing greece when they had both offence and defence.
Can't win just a game on Defence.. you need to the offence to win a game as well and greece showed they had both....
Luck = maybe 1 game
After two three games LUCK isn't a factor
it's called skill
it's called playing together
it's called freeking football no matter how u look at it
defence or offence YOU NEED BOTH
so people wake up
and go critize something else!
