We all need to step back and not jump ahead.. All we have done is put ourselves in a good position to take 2nd place but we haven't secured anything yet. Yes the team showed heart and guts and spirit against Belgium and I'm feeling a little more optimistic after the Belgium game. Our position can change after the Bosnia game and we can easily be in third as well so before we start worrying about where we will be seeded for the playoff lets just chill and see if we make it there first and take it one game at a time. I want to see us build on the Belgium outcome and keep moving forward as a team and I don't want us to take a step back that's my concern. The Bosnia game will be a true test as the Bosnians are much stronger at home then they are on the road and I fully expect them to control the pace of the game. If we can come out of there with 3 points then that truly will change the picture. regardless we need to take at least a point or Bosnia will have a much better chance then us to take 2nd.

I also thought Samaris was out for the next match.

Belgium smashed them and I'm pretty sure they will have no problem beating them again. Bosnia smashed them as well. On the other hand even though we one 2-0 I still think they out played us and had the better chances. Even though we were minutes away from beating Belgium I still strongly believe they are a lock for fist and the only chance Greece has to making the WC is through a playoff. The Bosnia game is the biggest game and we better be prepared because they are going to seriously try and attack us and play for they will be playing for the win not the tie. I do think we need the mindset that we need the win but I would still play to our strengths and think defense first and attack when we get a chance on the counter.

^ I agree, he won't get any playing time and he's game will decline. He needs to get back to form in the Greek league first before he even thinks about leaving.

I don't really want to see Oikonomou start I think he makes big mistakes on basic plays. You can pretty much bet Zeca will get the start especially with Samaris out. Gionnatos needs to be in the line up as his speed and hustle will give Bosnia defenders a hard time which will free up space for Mitro. On another not this is the first time in two years where I can see this team looked like a solid team again it was great to see again. This also just proves that Greece needs to be a team that focuses on defence first with every team and then attack on the counter, When Greece try to open it up and play all out offence even the weaker teams like Estonia for example expose us. If we played this style of Soccer from the beginning where we concentrate on defense first I don't believe we would have had such a bad two years as we tried and changed our style which doesn't suit our team.

Isn't kpaps back for the Bosnia game?

I have been negative about the teams play up until this point as I don't think we've played well at all but today I have nothing negative to say these boys played their asses off if we had 11 players on the field we would've won this game. We frustrated Belgium as they had no answer for our defense. A couple guys struggled on our team and gave them all away pretty easy but overall great performance great defence of effort great result.

The ref just took 1st place away from us. Piece of s%$#!. The boys played there asses of and played rock solid defense and very organized in the back.. we deserved a lot better. we frustrated the hell out of Belgium and took advantage of there mistakes. Great job great result but it should have been a win if we had 11 players on the field.

1-1 final

this ref has given Belgium every chance to win ffs

Greece down to 9 players wtf

we win this game with a full squad.

That's Ref you idiot... e deserved much better.

lets just try and hold off this game and we will worry about Bosnia later
