Looking at a Scottish forum. They clearly think we are the best team in the group. Hopefully we make their words come true…

Dominant win for Greece, the first half was an incredible attacking display and we could have scored 6 goals. Its a shame we gave away a penalty even though it was not one. I watched the last 30 mins of the Denmark match and I was not impressed by them. They did not generate much until the last 10 minutes. Scotland had a better and clear chance to take the win. Great result for the Ethniki and I think Greece will jump all over Denmark and try and put them away early.

Only 3,000 tickets left

One of the more interesting football accounts on twitter and instagram updated their direct qualification probabilities after yesterday's games. Before, Denmark was slightly favored to win the group. Obviously it is still early days but Monday will be potentially huge, one way or the other. This is probably the most evenly matched group (statistically) in UEFA qualifying.

^ 100% Team released an announcement video (with comments turned off) for this kid from Belarus. I'm hoping this is a B team kid. https://www.transfermarkt.com/pavel-apetenok/profil/spieler/1021348

It goes without saying, this game will be far tougher than the one against Belarus. The Danes who have been mainstays at major tournaments for the last 7 or so years, have been able to build that solid record of qualification on a strong defence. They have been typically tough to break down and have had plenty of results by keeping a clean sheet. So it will be the first real test for our young guns and all their attacking flair. I expect Denmark will look to keep it tight and allow us to have the bulk of possession. Our attack has been blowing teams away, so an early goal and who knows. But I would anticipate a cat and mouse game. I don't expect Jovanovic to make any changes to the starting 11 that we saw today. Even though plenty (myself included) wanted to see Konstantelias instead of Bakasetas, you can't deny Bakasetas has performed time and time again for the Ethniki. He had another good game against the Belarusians, so I don't think he will be dropped for this one.

We're in the driving seat now, nice!

FULL TIME Greece 5 Belarus 1

Bakasetas arm was tucked in and should not be given a penalty.

Tzolis!! 5-0

What a game!! We look good!! When was the last time we could actually score goals like this…ever??? Remember when we had Santos, we had a good team but every game was 1-0…

This is how a big football nation that is serious starts their campaign against lesser nations. So far so good pame! Karetsas 3rd minute goal lol. What a start..

Pavlidis!!!

PAVLIDIS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Tzimas who signed with Brighton over the summer for around 25 Million Euros, made his debut this morning in League Cup. He came off the bench in the 66nd minute and managed to score twice and grab an assist in that time as Brighton ran out comfortable 6-0 winners against Championship side Oxford United. It was the first time he had been included in the matchday squad, as he and Kostoulas had played for Brighton's Under 21 side in the first couple of weeks of this new season. It remains to be seen how often he is used in this upcoming season, it may very well be a season over development where he plays mainly in Cup competitions and off the bench. He has done his first team prospects no harm with his superb debut. His first goal is at 8.55 into the below video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C24yzJKC_4M&ab_channel=OfficialBrighton%26HoveAlbionFC
