    Greece held 0-0 by Armenia in last friendly ahead of Euro 2008

    OFFENBACH, Germany: Armenia held Greece to a 0-0 draw Sunday in the
    defending champion's final warm-up game ahead of the European
    Championship.

    The Greeks dominated for large spells of the game but rarely posed a
    threat to Armenia goalkeeper Gevorg Kasparov.

    Angelos Charisteas had a good chance in the 37th minute when Kasparov
    dropped the ball, but the Nurenberg striker failed to get a shot off
    before the ball rolled out of play.

    Costas Katsouranis tried to break the deadlock with a long-range shot
    in the 88th, but it was well saved by Kasparov.

    Greece opens play at Euro 2008 against Sweden on June 10, before
    taking on Russia and Spain in Group D.

    Greece beat Cyprus 2-0 and lost 3-2 against Hungary in its other two
    pre-tournament friendlies.
