Yeah, I was actually joking. All the managers since Santos we went through is proof that it really is the players. Just someone who can play in a decent cross would go a long way.

I've used my modly powers to edit the title, since Greece is home, to add the venue name, and the fact that you didn't quite spell Liechtenstein correctly. ? If we don't win this game, fire the Dutchman

Yep, only missed the 2006 World Cup in that span and even that was close. Won the Euro, got back into Euro 2008, qualified for South Africa, got into Euro 2012, did well, only lost when we ran into Germany. Qualified for Brazil, got out of our group, really should have at least got to the quarterfinals. As soon as we got back from Brazil, boom, lose to Faroe Islands twice, get nowhere near Euro 2016, did a little better trying to qualify for Russia, lost a playoff to the eventual runners-up, but then a lackluster showing in the Nations League, and now another poor showing as we're all set to miss Euro 2020. Anyone think this team will be in Qatar? Ha!

Finland 1-0 Greece FT Bring on the next manager!

Vrousai, just wide

Final Finland substitution: Schuller IN Soiri OUT All changes have been made

2003-2014, that was our golden age. Everything has just fallen off a cliff since Brazil ended.

+4

Finland: Jensen IN Tuominen OUT

Finland substitution: Karjalainen IN Pukki OUT

Pavlidis the shot, save Hradecky

And not that I blame him since the Finnish goal was a penalty, but why is Barkas in net?

Final Greece substitution: Pavlidis IN Koulouris OUT

Why can't I like this?

First match under a new manager and it doesn't faze them in the least

Does that stadium have a PA system? It's like the PA Announcer is yelling into a bullhorn, can't hear him

Greece: Bakakis IN Torosidis OUT

Greece substitution: Pelkas IN Kolovos OUT

Pukki hits from the spot, 1-0. About to lose to a hockey country again.
