History

1980 European Football Championship

Greece made its first appearance in a major tournament at the Euro 1980 in Italy after qualifying as first - under the guidance of Alketas Panagoulias- from a group that included USSR and Hungary, both world powers back then. In the final tournament, Greece was drawn into group A with West Germany, the Netherlands, and Czechoslovakia. In their first game, Greece held the Dutch 0-0 until 65' when the only goal of the game was scored by Kist. Three days later Greece played Czechoslovakia in Rome. After halting the Czechoslovakians to a 1-1 at the end the first half, Greece eventually lost 3-1. In their last game, Greece earned a 0-0 draw against eventually winners West Germany culminating what was considered a decent overall performance in the team's maiden presence in a final phase of any football competition. The 1980 UEFA European Football Championship (Euro 80) final tournament was held in Italy. ...

World Cup 1994

The team's success in qualifying for the 1994 FIFA World Cup in the USA, marked the first time they had made it to the FIFA World Cup finals. Greece finished first and undefeated in their qualifying group, surpassing Russia in the final game. In the final tournament Greece were drawn into group D with Nigeria, Bulgaria, and Argentina. After the successful qualifying campaign, expectations back in Greece were high as no one could imagine the oncoming astounding failure. Most notable reason for this complete failure was the fact that legendary coach Alketas Panagoulias opted to take a squad full of those players -though most of them aging and out of form - that helped the team in the qualifying instead of new emerging talents seeing it as a reward for their unprecedented success. It is worth mentioning that all players of the squad included the 3 goalkeepers took part in those 3 games, something very rare. In their first game against Argentina, Greece lost 4-0. Four days later Greece suffered another 4-0 blow from Bulgaria and in their final game lost to Nigeria 2-0. In the end, Greece were eliminated in the first round by losing all three games, scoring no goals and conceding 10, thus making one of the worst records in World Cup history.

Near misses

Greece failed to qualify for the Euro 1996 finishing 3rd in the group behind Russia and Scotland. In their 1998 World Cup qualifying tournament the team finished only one point shy of second placed Croatia as, despite a plethora of missed chances, it was halted to a 0-0 draw by the eventual Group winners, the Danish national football team. In their Euro 2000 qualifying group, Greece finished again in third place, two points behind second placed Slovenia in a highly disappointing campaign that saw the team lose at home to Latvia and led to the sacking of then national coach Kostas Polychroniou. In the 2002 World Cup qualifying Greece finished a disappointing fourth in their group behind England, Germany and Finland making them change their coach Vasilis Daniil in the process and replace him with Otto Rehhagel. Highlights of the campaign were the humiliating 5-1 defeat in Helsinki and the 2-2 draw that followed in England both the first 2 games of the soon to become legendary German coach at the reigns of Greek national team.

Greece started the qualification process for the Euro 2004 in a bad fashion losing home to Spain and away to Ukraine both with a 2-0 scoreline. Astonishingly enough the team went on to win the rest of their six games including a highly decisive 1-0 away win at Zaragoza securing the first place of the group and a presence in the finals of a European Championship for the first time in 24 years.

In the opening match against hosts Portugal, Greece achieved a surprise 2-1 victory inspiring the nickname "pirate ship" by Greek sportscasters due to the floating ship that the opening ceremony included. Four days later, Greece stunned Spain in front of a majority Spanish crowd with a 1-1 draw after being down 1-0 at half time. In the last group game, Greece went down 2-0 to Russia (who were already eliminated) but managed to pull one back and thus progressed to the next round at the expense of Spain on goals scored.


In the quarterfinals Greece faced off with the undefeated in the tournament, reigning champions France. At 65', Greece took the lead when captain Theodoros Zagorakis flicked the ball high in the air, defeated veteran French defender Bixente Lizarazu, and sent a perfect cross to Angelos Charisteas for the header. Greece held on to win, knocking France out of the Euro 2004 and becoming the first team ever to defeat both the hosts and defending champions in the same tournament. Greece reached the semifinals to face the Czech Republic, who were the only team to defeat all their opponents to this point, including a convincing 3-2 win over the Netherlands, a 2-1 win over Germany, and a 3-0 win over Denmark in the quarterfinals. After 90 minutes the game ended 0-0, despite Czechs having the most of the game's missed chances. In the last minute of the first half of extra time, a close range silver goal header from Traianos Dellas from a Vassilios Tsiartas corner ended the Czech campaign, putting Greece into the final of Euro 2004.

For the first time in history (a recurring theme in this tournament), the final was a repeat of the opening game with Greece and hosts Portugal facing off in a rematch. In the 57th minute, Charisteas gave Greece the lead with a header off of a corner by Angelos Basinas. Greece held on 1-0 to win the tournament, an achievement considered by many to be one of the greatest, if not the greatest, football upset in history.

World Cup 2006

After winning the Euro 2004, Greece were considered favorites to top their group, in the 2006 World Cup qualifyings.

In their first qualifier, Greece shockingly lost 2-1 to Albania followed by draws (home and away respectively) with Turkey and Ukraine, before defeating Kazakhstan 3-1 at home. It was thought that the team was back on course as the 2-1 win over Denmark, with Zagorakis scoring his first ever goal in over 100 caps, was followed with wins against Georgia and Albania and an away draw with Turkey. However, although dominating the game, Greece lost at home to Ukraine 1-0 having two goals disallowed controversially and barely escaped embarrassment as scraped to a 2-1 away win against minows Kazakhstan in the dying seconds. Greece was defeated 1-0 by Denmark in Copenhagen as chances for a qualification through a playoff looked dismal after a 1-0 win of Turkey in Kiev against already advanced Ukrainian side. In their last game, Greece defeated Georgia finishing 4th, four points behind first-placed Ukraine and two behind Turkey. Throughout the match, the 30,000 fans in the Karaiskákis Stadium chanted the name of Otto Rehhagel in their utmost support and he said afterwards "Even if 10 years pass, part of my heart will be Greek". There was a dissatisfaction with the selection of the team by Otto Rehhagel throughout qualification campaign from some journalists as they argued that he was sticking to exactly the same Euro 2004 squad even though some players weren't even having a club and was overlooking others most notably Ieroklis Stoltidis of Olympiacos and Akis Zikos of Monaco.

Greece began their Euro 2008 campaign with victories over Moldova, Norway and Bosnia-Herzegovina. As a result, Greece climbed eighteen places in two months to 13th place in the October FIFA World Rankings. This was seen as a revival of the Greek team after nearly two years of poor results. On March 24, 2007 Greece lost their fourth game, a heavy 4-1 loss, against Turkey in Athens shaking the squad amidst of national outrage.

Trivia

Nickname

During the opening ceremony of Euro 2004, which took place right before the match of Portugal vs. Greece, the hosts used the replica of a 16th century ship referring to the portuguese expeditions of that time. The greek radio sports journalist Georgios Helakis commented that "since the portuguese team appear in such ship, it's time for us to become pirates and steal the victory". This nickname was repeated at every win, and especially after the final match (against vs Portugal). After Greece won the trophy, The Pirate Ship is the nickname of the greek team.

  • Some DVD collections of the tournament have also been released under the name "The Pirate Ship".
