Greece believe they can go all the way to the European Championship final after their stunning 1-0 victory over defending champions France in the quarter-finals on Friday.

"Our aim now is the final, of course," assistant coach Yannis Topalidis told reporters. "Now nothing is impossible any more after this result."

In what was the biggest upset in European Championship history,Greece knocked favorites France out of the tournament to reach the semi-finals.

They became the first team to beat both champions and hosts in the same European Championship following their 2-1 victory over Portugal in the tournament's opening match.

"Of course, we are satisfied with this result but we want to go to the final and for that we may need a bit of luck as well," Topalidis said.

Striker Angelos Haristeas who scored the winner against France,believes the final is a now a real possibility, with the Czech Republic or Denmark standing in the way.

"I believe at this stage this is a great opportunity and since we have fought hard and played as a team in all the (previous) games why not go all the way?" he said.
