Greek Grit

This morning's (May 09) Euro 2012, Group A encounter between co-hosts Poland and Greece proved a point - the 1-1 draw reflected the resilience of the Greeks.

Greece, who were one goal and man down, managed to salvage something out of nothing. And with a little luck, the 2004 winners could have won the tie.

And it is this resilience that should not be discounted. While they might not repeat their 2004 heroics, the Greeks should not be dismissed either.
