February 12, 2003: International Friendly, Ukraine v Greece
We finally began to pay attention to the national team, now that some of the Heroes had been selected. To our surprise, only Odysseus and Agamemnon, playing in the centre of midfield, were given the opportunity to start. Both acquitted themselves decently, Odysseus setting up the first Greek goal with his traditional long shot, allowing Machlas to slap the rebound in with his thigh. Theseus came on late, but had too little time to make much of an impression. Final: Greece 2, Ukraine 0.
To our great frustration, we discovered we were not due anything in recompense when Agamemnon came back injured. We had sought to perform an injury of the same sort on Rehhagel, the coach(a painful groin pull, to which Herakles was looking forward with impertinent glee), but were once again foiled by modern "mores", in the person of "law enforcement". Myself, I could not see how they could be custodians of order and not see the need for just recompense, but this was the state of such things today.
Of course, this was part of why the Heroes had returned, to right such things. We would continue.
