GREECE
Greece spent most of their
history in relative
obscurity,
having participated only
twice in the final
tournaments
of the World Cup
and the
European Championship,
in 1994 and 1980
respectively,
until Euro
2004,
when Greece became European
champions in
only their
second participation in the
tournament.
Since that victory Greece
have occupied a place in the
top 30 of
the FIFA World
Rankings for all but 2
months,
and reached a high
of 8th
from April to June 2008,
as well as from September to
October 2011.
