Zeus returned to Mount Olympus

This is one of the funniest comments I heard in a long time. As the match of the Greek squad against the Russians ended with the Greeks losing 0-1 by means of the most stupid goal in living memory (typical Greek goalkeeper behavior, being anywhere else except in between his goalposts), the Flemish live reporter on VT4 (Flemish channel) says:

I can't figure how this appalling team has ever been able to win the Euro 2004 Cup. I guess Zeus left them on their own this time, as he went back to Mount Olympus... Miracles don't happen every day anymore...

Not bad at all! He's right you know! Greeks must offer some more goats at the altar and bring some more presents to the Delphi oracle to be better off next time around. If ever, that is...

PS: Picture showing German coach of Greek national team Otto Rehhagel congratulating Dutch coach Guus Hiddink of the Moscow squad. Staying friends after all...
