I understand your optimism, but that kind of thinking is what got Italy and Uruguay into trouble. We have an opportunity here, we can't blow it by suddenly deciding we're a lock to win this game.

For the first time ever, the ethniki are in the Round of 16 of a World Cup. Here they draw the surprising Group D champions, Costa Rica. Though they've beaten some serious opposition, this is a desirable draw for us, but we have to put the work in. PAME ELLADA! PAME ETHNIKI! :gr:

I give us 50-50 against Costa Rica. They beat Italy and Uruguay for a reason. Can't take them lightly.

Colombia 4-1 Japan FT WE'RE IN!
