    Cyprus vs. Greece ( 7 October 2017, GSP Stadium, Nicosia )

    in Greek National Teams

    Posted · Edited by J1078

    Greece goes through(if we win and Bosnia drop points of course)

    1)Scotland tie or lose to Slovenia(very possible)

    2)Ukraine draw with Croatia(very possible)

    3)Serbia lose to Georgia (doubtful)

    4)wales vs Ireland draw or Ireland win

    5)NIR lose to Norway

     

    These our are only realistic paths so as long as we win and Bosnia drop points tomorrow then We need one of the above 2 things to happen..

    Let's relax and put things into perspective....the team IMO did far better than I expected.  The coach actually got the better out of the team.  That being said,  Bosnia deserves second spot,  and outplayed Greece twice.   The key is,  Build off of this successful campaign.

    Oh please Bosnia lost to Cyprus and got smoked by Belgium the first game while Greece should have beat Belgium the first game down a man and were unlucky not to get a draw against Belgium the second game.. not sure what you've been watching..

    Look at what Skibbe is thinking of starting against Cyprus.

                                    Karnezis

    Toro/Mainatis ----- Sokratis -------Man-------tzav

                  Zeca---------------------tziolis

    mantalos-----------Fortounis---------------Staf/Laz

                                    Mitro

     

    Why the F*** is Tziolis in this line up?? Mantalos shouldn't be there either...

    Belgium are missing a fair amount of key players including Lakaku.. Also Bosnia and Belgium in the last 7 games have 3 wins each and 1 draw.. also As bad as Bosnia defence is they still haven't allowed a goal against at home... Regardless of what happened the last time they played these teams play very close games aginast each other.. As Greek fans we will be on edge watching this game.. I'm very worried..

    Georgia did draw whales in whales so I'm really hoping they can do it again. as I mentioned it's irrelevant if Ireland win tomorrow as those points wont count. The England group now gave us a huge chance as it took two teams out of the equation today as Slovakia and Slovenia cannot reach 19 points which would mean after we minus the 6 points they cannot reach 13 where we are hoping to be. Only Scotland is now relevant in that group and if the draw or lose on the road then they are likely the worst of the 2nd place teams. I do Agree with the above mention that the Bosnia game is really scaring the hell out of me as well and even though I don't want to believe it I can see Bosnia pulling it off but maybe that's just my nerves talking... If Whales doesn't get 3 points tomorrow we now are I great positon with two groups to possibly finish behind us.

    The only bad news today was Denmark beating Montenegro but over all great results and exactly what we needed from the Poland group. Lets hope tomorrow Georgia can somehow draw against Whales... Irelands game has NO relevancy tomorrow as they play the worst team in there group. So now Slovenia and Slovakia cannot reach 19 points so as long as Scotland doesn't win there final game on the road against Slovenia then this group looks very promising..

    OK, obviously we need to beat Cyprus, we need Belgium to tie or beat Bosnia... From the other groups, what else do we need to happen, so that Greece isn't the last place 2nd place team, so I know what else to pull for?

    This article breaks down everything for Greece.

    I will say the one thing I do like how  Skibbe has brought his defence first mentality as this is the way the Greek team needs to play to be successful. We have to work to our strengths and utilize our best assets which is our Defence. We all saw what happened when we tried to play a more offensive style we ended up neglecting our strengths which is our D and we were losing to the worst of the worst teams and that should NOT happen. In saying this I do wish we could find a happy medium to a good defence and a balanced offense and not depend on only one structure. Maybe this will happen if and when we can find someone to solidify our Mid which really controls the game and we are definitely lacking in that position.
