The 2010 FIFA World Cup in South Africa.

After the final game of one of the leading players of the Greek national team, Stelios Yannakopoulos, was asked: "Isn't it fair that your team, playing defensively and focusing only on disrupting the opponent, won the European Championship?". The footballer replied: "It's better to show ugly and uninteresting football and raise the European Cup above your head than to play attractively and interestingly and leave the championship with nothing."
