The Greek situation is that the HFF got suspended from UEFA after the Greek government stopped the league, amirite?

Ah, I thought it was about preventing Greece from winning the UEFA Championship again, like they did against the favourites Portugal in 2004, thus costing the bookmakers a mint.

And that immortal quote.....

"56 mins: Portugal 0 - 1 Greece. In the 56th minute, the only underdogs in history that everyone wants to see get beaten, score from their very first corner of the match. Slack Portugal marking allows Angelos Haristeas scores with a straightforward header from about eight yards, with Ricardo caught in no-man's land."
