This photo shows the Greek National Soccer Team celebrating after a 1-0 upset win over Russia during the UEFA Euro 2012 Soccer Tournament in June. The win earned Greece a place in the coveted Knockout Stage. When we think of Greece these days, we draw our minds to their severe economic crisis going on in the country. Before this, many Greeks were suffering emotionally through hard economic times. But when the Greek Captain Karagounis scored to put Greece ahead of mighty Russia, everything else seemed to disappear temporarily. This win means a lot to Greece going forward. Even though the tournament lasted only for a month, they were able to forget about everything else and just focus on enjoying the thrill of sports together as one nation. That's a big step for Greece in putting their economic struggles behind them.
