GROUP A2 STANDINGS Greece-6 Netherlands-4 Germany-1 Serbia-0

Might speak more to the caliber of the German team. We should not get ahead of ourselves. Our defense and midfield need a lot of work. However, taking advantage of their weakness in order to guarantee we stay in the better "league" (and lock down a pot 1 spot for Euro 2028 qualifiers) will let us build on this by continuing to play against better competition and then having an 'easier' run at qualification. Steel sharpens steel or whatever.

FINALLY FOR GREECE FOR PAOK WE WILL BEAT THE DUTCH IN TOUMBA (as our heroic moderator looks away in confusion)

Should be a packed, full house depending on the weather. Would be a great atmosphere for the boys to play in, one hopefully that can shake the Dutch.

Places should be earned - love that!!! And we can play down the Germany team all we want but their players are valued three times ours.

Don't worry dutchy I still love you Tsapras was just announced as a late call up for these last two games. I'm sure just depth, but RB is one of our biggest holes these last few years...

Regarding Koulierakis, in a press conference before the Serbia match (or was it after?) Jovanovic said that he is heavily favoring players who are getting a lot of playing time at their clubs, due to match fitness, over anything else. This is probably why we wont see Mouza this comp... although i was really hoping to...

He moved in the summer to Roma and has yet to nail down a starting position. He has played twice off the bench for them so far this season. Higher expectations of defenders in Italy compared to Germany, I suspect it will take him some time to adjust and win the trust of his manager. Clearly he has been relegated to 4th choice with the Ethniki as a result of his lack of playing time, this is evidenced through Michailidis being subbed on in both games for the final few minutes.

Love the playing group we have here. no egos all look like good guys

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

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?

Jovanovich NL record and coaching is impeccable in these matches. He needs to replicate it in the Euro qualifiers.

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.

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

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

Wasn’t pretty - but we did it. To be fair, Germany didn’t have many clear cut chances even if they dominated possession. We stuck to the game plan and it worked this time.

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

He did it!!

Yess !!!!

What a team performance!

What a miss!!!!!

Kourbelis coming in???

We deserved to win that game. What a high going into Germany now! We got our three points, so there’s no pressure. We still need to clean up our defence as we were lucky not to concede a second.

HELLAS WIN! Great comeback! We have so many attacking options its ridiculous.. Teteh and Douvikas came in and were incredible. Tzimikas what a cross on the goal. Tzolis an incredible footballer what a match! Greece need to work on the defensive side of the ball hard to believe that is our main issue after all these years of solid defending.
