Watching the Greece-Germany quarter final last night on an open air TV in a village square in Corfu was a very different experience to watching another UEFA Euro match under similar midsummer circumstances on the Swedish island of Gotland some years ago.
I was surprised how subdued the Greek crowd was, not because the people may have been expecting Greece to lose- it was the same mood for other matches too.
In Gotland the crowd was far more excited, vocal and involved, a totally different atmosphere.
Swedes behaving "like Greeks", Greeks behaving "like Swedes"?
So much for national stereotypes.
