Sweden did what they were suppose to do and got 6 points, we know Spain will be there at the end so now it’s critical for us not to drop any points to Georgia. In the last two games we played we ended up 1-0 and 0-0 over Kosovo and the goal we scored was a penalty. We struggle scoring goals and goals differential mean something in this qualifier so Sweden putting up 3 doesn’t help us at all..

I agree.. if you go back and look at their last 10 matches or so they’ve played some big teams very close and managed a couple of draws against some top teams.

WOW Georgia is going to be a BIG problem for us. They counter very well and create good chances. They should have had at least a draw against Sweden and so far the have played Spain much better then we did.

Liminos has taken a step back he’s making very basic plays way too difficult. He hasn’t impressed that last few times with the NT

Goal line save we should have about 4 goals today.

Pavlidis off means he will start against Georgia..

Looks like Pavlidis might start as well. Lol

Goal!!!!!

Really hope Kosovo can take points from Sweden today. I know it’s a big task but that would be huge for us.

I’m not liking this Svaranas experiment. Giakoumakis, Fortounis Tzolis should all start against Georgia

Tzolis will end up being our best player.. He needs to capitalize on his chances but that will come with time.

Goal Honduras

Beautiful pass and nice finish!

So sloppy we can’t get past midfield so far.

I Agree, People are underestimating Georgia, This game can cause us problems if they aren't careful, Georgia countered with great opportunities against Sweden on numerous occasions and had great scoring chances. We need an early goal to get rid of some of the pressure but we also need to be mindful not to get caught out of position on the counter. This is a MUST 3 points for us, If we drop points here it would probably cost us 2nd. Also lets hope Sweden drop points to Kosovo. here are some highlights from the Sweden vs Georgia :

I ended up watching the highlights between Sweden and Georgia and that game could have easily ended up in a draw as the play looked pretty even back and fourth and Georgia had a few prime scoring chances. Either Georgia is not going to be as easy as an out as i thought or Sweden just didn't have a good game at all. Greece need get 3 points here but seeing Sweden struggle to get the win against them worries me.

I didn’t get to see any highlights Sweden didn’t look that good?

What is wrong with some of you? Of course it wasn’t a pretty performance but when Greece was making tournaments regularly they were never playing pretty football they would sit back and defend like crazy Against inferior opponents and then try to catch a team on the counter. This is Spain we are not in the same class as Spain how many chances did you think we were going to get against the world class team like Spain? Why don’t you guys look at the positives we only allowed three shots on target to a team that just put six behind Germany. So much negativity on here. This is a performance to build on why don’t you guys go back and look when the last time we lost a competitive game, we are on a pretty good run and this draw against the world class opponent is a huge confidence booster for this team. Did you guys think we were going to come out and play all out attacking football against Spain? If so then your expectations are not realistic. There’s always room for improvement of course but we don’t have the quality of players to play pretty football against world class teams and if that’s what you guys are expecting then you need to come back down to earth.

I agree and if vlacho came out and challenged I don’t think the Spanish player would have had time to control the ball and score. Regardless I’m thrilled with this result and to be honest I was Expecting Spain to put three behind us when I saw the starting line up.

I wasn’t happy about the starting line up at all, but I will say most of the guys hustled there asses off and once the changes were made we played better, the guys put in a fantastic defensive effort, yes of course we were only going to get one or two chances against Spain that was obvious, but for those saying it was a fluke Penalty maybe it was but the boys put themselves in the right position to get that call. Some of you clowns have to really man up and just give the team credit when they pull off a stunning result rather than looking at who we play next and automatically assuming we’re going to drop points. I swear some of your clowns are absolutely happy when the Team loses so you can come on here and bitch. Like if anyone can’t be happy about this result then you really are not a fan of the NT and I don’t know why you waste your time on these forums. The guys backed each other up when Spain would beat one of our players they were immediately faced with another blue jersey in there face. Even Bakakis played well, Siopis is like a little bulldog out there really hustles, Tzolis showed he’s worth a starting spot, Bakasetas had a bad game but at least he capitalized on the penalty. There were a few guys that didn’t do so great but the rest of the guys were there to pick them up and I think it was a fantastic team effort today.

This team just pulled one of their best results in the last five years and you’re still speaking s%$#! You know we don’t have the quality whoever we put in there to hang with Spain. I was pissed off with the starting lineup as well but you can’t even give the f***ing guys credit for hustling nonstop all game and they didn’t fold after they let the first goal in.. Spain only had about 2 or 3 shots on net..

Unbelievable result for Greece. I didn't like how JVS started the line up but he made the Great adjustments after the first goal was conceded. Bravo boys this draw against a BIG team like Spain is absolutely HUGE for the boys.
