Finals

Well, today is the Euro 2004 final and, near as I can tell, it's not being televised here, which just figures. I suppose I should pick Greece just because I've been wrong about them every time, but I can't bring myself to do it. Their style of play is effective, but about as exciting as watching paint dry. Portugal plays with a lot more flair, and it would be a nice story to see the home team win, so I'm going to have to pick Portugal to win the whole enchilada--or the whole bacalhau, as the case may be. (Which, if my track record is any indication, means Greece will win 1-0.)
