Ever since they stunned the footballing world by triumphing at UEFA EURO 2004, Greece have been synonymous with a distinct brand of football. Robust, organised and stoutly defensive, they have proved a frustrating safe to crack for many a team that have opposed them since.
They did struggle to reach the heights of those heady days in Portugal as Otto Rehhagel's nine-year reign as coach drew to a close – ending as they finished bottom of their group at the 2010 FIFA World Cup South Africa™. Since then, however, Fernando Santos has enlivened the Greek spirit after taking the wheel of To Piratiko (The Pirate Ship) following Rehhagel's departure.
