i guess i'll shut up about the line up... lol

Greece big win!! France help us too.

Ireland 0-2 Greece FT

2-1 France final

How sweet would it be if the Dutch slip up against Ireland and tie or lose to them... Sometimes you need some luck from the soccer gods...

2 nil France! Mbappe another goal

What a cross Tsimikas!!

GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOALLLLL WHAT A PASS AND HEADER!!!!!!

What a horrible lineup. Rota is mls caliber player. No Konstantelias on bench????pelkas is garbage and so is mantalos. Wtf

Apart from the first 10 or so minutes, a comfortable evening in what on paper could've been a tricky game. For large stretches we controlled the tempo and showed our quality against the Irish. We all have questions about various call-ups and player selections but ultimately (especially with International football and a nation like Greece) it's a results business. Say what you want but Poyet has topped the nations league group and with 3 games to play in the qualifiers he has in 2nd spot in the group. Massive game against the Dutch now, it will be a packed OPAP Arena and the crowd will be buzzing. They blew us away last month, so we will need to play our absolute best to stand any chance. Their midfield in particular bossed ours and we struggled to break through their pressing. I suspect it will be different in Greece, but interested to see what tactical changes Poyet makes this time around. I'm sure he learnt a thing or 2 from the disaster last month. All in all, it's been a successful qualifying campaign so far and we are still in with a fighting chance. The play-offs are there and waiting worst case and the way this team has been able to win the game they "should", I am relatively confident we qualify one way or another.

100% but its nice to know we have a back up just incase with very beatable teams. If anyone would have said going into the last 2 games you would be 3 points ahead of Netherlands for 2nd we would all have been jumping for joy as this group by far had the two strongest teams.

Greece will beat Holland if they play nice passes and stay compact as they did today. Then we can maybe pull of direct qualification to Euros.

GROUP B STANDINGS France-18 Greece-12 Netherlands-9 Ireland-3 Gibraltar-0

France hangs on

Watching it. Mbappe just hit the bar!

shiit... France better not blow this.

I'll take it! Thank God!

GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOALLLLLLLL!!!!

Beautiful counter! Pelkas shot saved

What a goal!!!!!!!!

Same problem for me. I wish ESPN still had the rights to this stuff. I have ESPN+

What kind of garbage line up is this.. Losing trust in Poyet...

That is odd, why call him up if not even on the bench???

Goutas called up to replace the injured Chatzidiakos. Considering the squad flies for Ireland today and he plays his club football in Wales, he will fly directly to Dublin and link up with the squad there. With 4 center backs still in the squad, I feel it confirms Tzavellas is only being called up due to either Poyet wanting a "personality" in the squad or EPO forcing it upon him. He isn't seen as a feasible option unless the game is either comfortably won or lost.

The Baldock injury was huge, had forgotten how much of a need RB was. Rota can't start against Holland - he will be eaten alive. Retsos/Koulierakis isn't that concerning - they are both good players.
