With this, we have also now beaten every active European country at least once!

Historic Greece win in Germany. Bravo paidia!! Kourbelis goal! Androutsos solid performance.Tzolikis great saves. Karetsas what incredible skill!!

If you have five strikers who are all doing well, you gotta figure out how to play them. Some variation of a 4-4-2/3-5-2/whatever should be tried. Playing without a clear #10 isn't the end of the world, assuming you have the midfield to support it (which we do, when you have players like Zafeiris and Mouzakitis). Counting my blessings that Bakasetas was not selected. We would have lost. I think our defense still doesn't look great. This might be the start of an era where Greece has a ton of attacking threat but cops easy goals, as strange as it is to say. That run by Tsimikas, btw, was only possible because Michailidis used his weirdly good deep lying passing ability to open Tsimikas up for his run. I am wondering why Koulierakis did not play, but I guess it's possible the coach wanted him rested for Germany (and thought this would be a game where we'd be attacking more than defending).

If and big if. We can shock everyone and squeak out a win, our Serbian brothers tie the Dutch… we can realistically be in a position to not just secure top 3 in the group, but maybe even compete in this Nations League tournament! Yea yea all we did was beat Serbia but in the last 15 yrs that game would have ended in a tie or loss for us 99% of the time. I am choosing to be hopeful again. The Dutch and the Germans are both not at their best. Klopp will need some time to get his culture into the program. Who’s to say we can’t finish second in this group and leap frog one of them? PAME

What's funny is we didn't particularly play well but we still beat Germany, which says a lot about the calibre of the team now. I think we can play a lot better in the home fixture and really put it to Germany.

Kind of an ugly win. When we actually gathered the balls to attack, we looked pretty decent. I think we're still defensively not great (where's Koulierakis??) but whatever, they got the job done. Goal was kind of a fluke but I'll take it. From what I see, we are now favorites for second place. Pity the league B team that draws Germany in the play off. Inexplicable to play Ioannidis over Douvikas. I was iffy on Tetteh starting but he was pretty decent. I assume our next game vs Germany will be against the guys who walked out of their fancy box after we scored?

Love it!!

Can't ask for anything other than a win - so kudos to him. But overall, I feel like we were stuck in second gear while we could have easily gone quicker. He was afraid of coping goals like we did in Denmark/Scotland - mission accomplished but we played a style that does not highlight are strengths. Again 2 from 2 so we take it.

Yes I am beyond hyped that we finally beat Germany. I don’t want to sound ungrateful, BUTTT I don’t think Jovanovic is the right guy. Very appreciative of what he has done for us but come on man. The Masouras thing I can kinda get: just defend like your life depends on it. But putting Ionnidis on over Douvikas and Kostoulas is absolutely unforgivable. Same goes with starting Tetteh. Yea he helped open a tired poor Serbian side up but there are levels to this. DOUVIKAS was top 3 in serie a scoring last year and Kostoulas has started hot in the Prem. Ionnidis and Tetteh should be there to make up the numbers that’s it

That win probably solidifies us in POT 1 for the Euro qualifying. I don’t see Serbia getting 3 results in this group.

Germany 0-1 Greece FT First ever win against Germany!

This exactly.. I said the same

Chuck on Kostoulas!

Very solid (and entertaining) game away vs Georgia today, 0-3 win. We are likely heading to the playoffs as the second place group, though the first placed team of the group of 2nd placed teams (that's a mouthful) will get direct qualification too. Right now that's Italy and we are level with them on points. So we want either Germany to drop the ball vs Malta and/or Georgia or Italy to drop points vs Poland and/or Armenia (and of course, for us to beat both Latvia and Northern Ireland).

And set up Tsimikas for his run/assist, in fact
