The Story:
It's hard to decide what's worse for Greece, the crippling economic crisis that has caused rioting in the streets and a fallout that is being felt throughout Europe or me ranking them last in this thing I made up last night. It's too hard to call so I'll just call them 1A and 1B, just kidding, this ranking is definitely #1 on the list of things Greece wishes it could turn around. However if you've ever seen any Disney sports movie you might realize that this is setting up quite nicely, "a team of underdogs join up to overcome all the odds lifting their country out of crisis at the same time they lift the trophy". So what are the odds we'll be watching 'Euro 2012: A Greek Odyssey' starring Emilio Estevez (he really needs the work) as the team's coach sometime in the future? In my opinion, not so good.
