  1. Easily the 2 most important matches in many years for the NT.

    Just getting to the Euros will help boost ranking for World Cup draw which will be more difficult to make.  

    The WC in North America 2026 would be huge to take part hopefully they double qualify and bring the NT back to it's heyday!

  2. I thought maybe they were good enough without but honestly I don't think so, the NT needs to get Fortounis back in now in time for the playoffs he is looking good.  There is no one on the team with his skill level in that position.  We keep leaning on average guys like Mantalos and Kourbelis etc.  Midfield is not threatening and not providing forwards the best service. 

    Greece can get in but will struggle to get results if what we seen against Holland and France is proof.  They are in the game but can't sniff a goal and ultimately lose.

  3. I'm not even that bothered really (mainly because of the playoff mind you).  To be honest I always expected to come 3rd here.  Greece have been steadily improving.  I think a draw would have been the more correct result today but when you try to beat a big nation like Holland you can't leave it to referee and VAR good luck.  Needs to be decisive.  

    It was always a long shot in this group and they made a decent account of themselves overall having us believing once again.  They just need to get in any way they can.  Look at the playoff path it's amazing for us.  Hopefully play decent and raise the rank for WC qualifying pots.  Hard to qualify coming from where Greece was.

  4. It's great to have hopes raised heading into difficult matches such as this.  At least we go there with belief we can get a result.  Still, if they don't manage a win or even a draw that we don't get too down.  

    The team has come a long way it looks like very quickly but Dutch NT even without appearing at their strongest do we really know?  Obviously a huge match for them as they at home as they must see us now as their most direct opponent for 2nd place.

  5. Impressive performance.  

    Greece hungry for the ball, very fit and closing down.

    Lots of nice passing.  I am getting a vibe from this team now something is special is happening.

    And Bakasetas has turned into an absolute stud.  The team has a real leader and star in him who has an impressive shot always dangerous.  

    I don't see any reason why this Greece team can't take on Holland for second spot.
