Nice shot by Bakasetas great save..

Tzioilis looks like his coming on and i think he will take Fortounis off which is a bad move if he does..

I know... But the yellow card worries me with him.

With one yellow and Tzavellas being a hot head maybe JVS should take him off just in case.

Tzavellas better cool down before he gets a red card.

bad play by Fortounis

That makes no sense...

We have showed a lot of hustle and good transition and overall a good team effort with a few chances to score. Normally i would be very happy so far but knowing this is our final and has so much implications if we win we needed to do more. The second half we have no choice now we have to go all out which might leave us vulnerable for Slovenia to counter but we really don't have a choice.

We definitely need a goal this half..

What a pass by Fortounis

The team looks good lots of hustle and good break outs..

Starting line up. two changes Bouchalakis and pavlidis out for Kourbelas and Giakoumakis Βλαχοδήμος, Μαυρίας, Χατζηδιάκος, Τζαβέλλας, Τσιμίκας Ζέκα, Κουρμπέλης ,Λημνιός, Μπαkασέτας Φορτούνης Γιακουμάκης.

If I'm not mistaken i also think we have a chance to stay in pot 3 if Finland loses today and we win. Also what Boxou said we need Bosnia to lose against Italy and we need to win.

I think Slovenia won’t press as much in this game as they will play a more defensive role and only open it up if they are trailing. Like us they have only allowed 1 goal against so they are pretty sound defensively especially against a Greek team who has trouble breaking down teams and scoring goals.. JVS needs to approach this game with a lot of urgency and he needs the team flying out of the gate and not give The Slovenians a chance to build confidence and to set the pace of the game.. The Greek team also needs to watch the counter which I think Slovenia will be waiting for as they no Greece will be pressing to score..

I think we can all agree for as long as I can remember most guys on here don’t want to see Bakasetas play including myself.. The team looked good in the first half and that’s a big thanks to Fortounis who I’ve always said is hands down our best and most consistent player.. I’m happy about the win but what drives me crazy is at one point the Slovenia game was 1-1 and we needed to score 3 or more goals to over take them and JVS takes off Fortounis instead of Bakasetas, where is the logic in that? Bakasetas was horrible today and was fortunate to have a ball gifted to him by Fortounis. To this day I’m still so damn confused with what the love is with him as he ruins any attack and flow the team has yet he’s the captain and a guaranteed starter.. I also think if Mantalos was healthy we probably wouldn’t of seen Fortounis. anyways on to the next game, like so many in here have already said if we can’t beat Slovenia we simply don’t deserve to play in group B yet alone a World Cup with much stiffer competition.

not impressed with the 2nd half but a much needed win..

Wow penalty Slovenia in stoppage time.. Fck

Come on play with some more urgency.. Do they know a third goal would help huge as we are trailing In goal differential..

Goal!!! Bakasetas

What a goal by Fortounis

I don’t understand why he’s starting pavlidis when Giakoumakis and Tziolis who both scored In pretty much there first game.. for a team that has a problem scoring goals JVS try's new players and they score in there first game and then he sits them and sticks with players who haven’t been scoring.. I don’t get the logic.. I hope I’m wrong.

Bro you told me not to "even put that bad juju out there" when i said Moldova tied Russia and then you go and say that... ?

I think What JVS did in the game against Cyprus was a smart move, he should have a clear image of what works and what doesn’t, If the line up that started the game played the entire game I think Greece would have scored one or two more goals as they were playing with energy and high tempo and creating chances.. He really benefited from this friendly to see what works best and in doing so he was still able to get the team to win.. Let’s hope in the next two games he goes with a similar line up to what we played in the first half which was more of what we saw in the last few games of the euro qualifiers..

Moldova tied Russia a few days ago... Just saying...
