LISBON, Portugal - Even before the Olympics, 2004 will be remembered as one of the great years for Greek sports. Greece won the European Championship in one of the biggest upsets in soccer history, beating host Portugal 1-0 Sunday on Angelos Charisteas' goal early in the second half.
We Greeks have a long history of confounding those who underestimate us: The dramatic triumph of our soccer team in the European Championship this July is just the latest in a series of surprise victories - victories that predate the written word. Three thousand years ago, the Greek army reversed an apparent retreat from the walls of Troy, interrupting a Trojan victory celebration and beginning our tradition of comeback wins. During Greece's Golden Age, a much smaller Greek force defeated the Persians at the Battle of Marathon. As the routed Persians fled to their ships, history's first marathoner brought news of the victory to Athens.

BELGRADE, Serbia - Sixteen years after the bull-necked military commander went on the run, a pale and shrunken Ratko Mladic was hauled into a courtroom Thursday to face charges of genocide in ordering torture, rape and the slaughter of 8,000 Muslim men and boys in the Bosnian town of Srebrenica in 1995. A Serbian government that has changed mightily since Mladic's alleged atrocities trumpeted his early morning arrest as a victory for a country worthy of EU membership and Western embrace. It banned all public gatherings and raised security levels to prevent ultra- nationalists from making good on pledges to pour into the streets in protest.

In an interview, David Taylor, General Secretary, UEFA, talked about sports business and professional football. In many ways sports business and non-sports business are the same. The need to run a business and manage a business in an efficient and profitable way is the same in sports business as in other businesses. The real difference, of course, lays in the nature of the business itself -- the sport -- the effect of the business of the playing of the games and the uncertain outcome of the games. There is intense competition, but not in the same way as in competition in the business world. Taylor is very much in favor of UEFA getting closer to the fans of clubs. Fans have particular views and different perspectives in terms of the game that UEFA plays. Football is a big business, but t...
