WARSAW, Poland Dept: WARSAW, Poland - There's no sea of blue-and-white to greet Greece this time around, according to Winnipeg Free Press. Since its stunning victory at Euro 2004, Greece has attracted legions of fans to major tournaments, also drawing support from large immigrant communities around the world. In 2008, Greece fans laid siege to the Austrian city of Salzburg with noisy supporters briefly taking over upmarket cafes to the combined amusement and astonishment of locals and a Polish couple poses with a Greek fan before the opening match of the Euro 2012 soccer championship between Poland and Greece at the national stadium in Warsaw, Poland, on Friday, June 8, 2012.
