Tell me zlatanov, every example I'll bring u'll tell me "ok when that happens again we will discuss it"? I didn't compare Greece and Porto with Italy, u said that u can't win trophies by playing defencive and I used that 2 teams to prove the otherwise.. ok.
And I think this exhustion wasn't a big factor in euro, at least not as in WC 02.
CL got cut, and now it 4 games shorter than what it was 2 years ago. And if u didn't notice no big teams was involved higher than quarters (Porto, Depor, Chelsea and Monaco made to the semis) so all the big-shots like Zidane or Nedved got planty time to rest. I think in that terms of fitness and as u say "exhaustion" Greece was equal to most of the teams and specialy to the Chezh Rep. and Portugal.
I agree with u that "circumstances" play a major role in football, and sometimes average teams hit the black-jack.
