Impressive performance. Greece hungry for the ball, very fit and closing down. Lots of nice passing. I am getting a vibe from this team now something is special is happening. And Bakasetas has turned into an absolute stud. The team has a real leader and star in him who has an impressive shot always dangerous. I don't see any reason why this Greece team can't take on Holland for second spot.

Reports saying Poyet has decided on 8-9 of the starting XI, no massive surprises. -----------Vlachodimos----- Baldock--Mavropanos--Chatzidiakos--Tsimikas ------Mantalos------Siopis-----Bakasetas Masouras-----Giakoumakis----Pelkas Kourbelis is being considered in place of either Siopis or Mantalos as is Pavlidis to lead the line. I read Konstantelias is also being considered to take one of the wingers spots but I doubt he would get a start. 14,000 tickets have been sold for the game, it means there will be a solid crowd there to cheer the boys on. Hopefully it ends up being 20,000+ and the atmosphere is electric!

This was a game we had to have, and we got it. Pulled it out, doesn't matter how. First win in our new house, as well!

Greece 2-1 Ireland FT

Beautiful result! Bakasetas the Man of the Match!

LETS GO BOYS PAME HELLAS LOVED THE WAY WE PLAYED

Red card against Doherty!

Dammit I missed it. I just turned it back on. Was is it a nice goal?

Bakasetas, unreal pass

We should have 3 goals. Pelakas & Mantalos have butchered their opportunities

We deserve to be ahead. You can’t give the game away like that we had full momentum we were all over them and then the first chance Ireland get they score and swing the momentum.

VAR gives Bakasetas a penalty, HE HITS!

1-0 Greece goalllllllllll

Let's go!!
