Greece Takes Down Portugal Again

Playing a day after Greek Independence Day the reigning European champs defeated Portugal in a friendly match 2-1 on Wednesday.  Panathinaikos' George Karagounis scored both goals for the motherland.  

It was Greece's fifth straight win over Portugal.  The two most important of those wins were of course in Portugal during EURO 2004, including in the final.

Greece will defend their title, the second most prestigious in football after the World Cup, in 71 days at EURO 2008.
