Quarterfinal - France 0-1 Greece
June 25, 2004
Quarterfinals 2:45 PM France 0-1 Greece
How did this happen? How did favorites France get knocked out of the quarterfinals by Greece? Greece played with more heart. The French always looked threatening, especially Henry and Pires, but ultimately they didn’t put away their many chances and Greece did. France controlled the match but looked listless and directionless.
Greece played their football full of confidence and belief. As a result, they sent attacks forward and, when given half a chance, Angelo Charisteas rocketed a header past Barthez to put Greece up 1-0!
France tried to strike back but Henry wasn’t finding the net and Trezeguet wasn’t involved at all. Bixente Lizarazu almost made it 1-1 but it wasn’t to be. Maybe, like England the prior evening, France weren’t going to get any luck. The great Greek goalkeeper, Nikopolidis, stood like a sentinel and policed his net vigorously. The final whistle blew on the Bleus and France was eliminated from EURO 2004.
