First Euro 2008 game: Against Sweden, June 10

The Greeks are an odd team, but one that can't be overlooked since they cut an unlikely path through Euro 2004 and proceeded to take home the winner's trophy.

Their team has not changed much in the years that have followed and their style of man-to-man marking - that has previously troubled Europe's elite - has almost become tradition. Today it is instigated into the squad by the huge centre-back, Traianos Dellas.
