^^^ Yes we will definitely battle for 2nd but I don't have us beating out Holland. It is possible and we will push them but I wouldn't bet myself. I'm just not personally optimistic on that. The Nations League route is path of least resistance/best odds now. Hopefully by next draw Greece can continue to clean up their ranking - pot 4 was never favourable. Ireland in there as well and Greece 4th? It's probably the toughest group in the Euro imo.

Oh wow. Our run our decent draws is over. This is a brutal draw. They must qualify now via the Nations League route!

Any updates? Haven't seen/read much new.

It's a real shame to see Sweden will go through and in my opinion inferior team to Greece at the moment. Greece really showed something today. I know there are positives to take away but will still sting to be out of another major tournament. They must ensure qualification for the next Euro all efforts should be put towards that.

Douvikas Pavlidis Tzolis are players that can threaten for goals nice to see this for a change! I think in the 2nd half the team grew with belief and don't fear Sweden in the away leg. I think they believe they can still qualify or they wouldn't have put in the performance they did yesterday. I'm expecting 6 points in October!

The late draw was so deflating, whatever happens it feels good to see the team win a big match and renew some faith in themselves. They didn't lose in front of the home supporters is respectable something to build on. Worst worst case scenario is they push for WC but miss and position themselves best they can to ensure they qualify for the next Euro. To miss again would be unthinkable it's more opportunity to qualify there.

I'm not even going to complain. Greece are simply not a powerful team in international football. Which bothers me so much when people call others 'minnows' and expect certain results from this greek side. Vre seis. Greek has not produced a single star player in my lifetime. They currently have no star players. Greece will continue to struggle in every match until they have players that can actually win a game and take it over. Anyone can produce defenders. No elite players in midfield and forward a disgrace.

How come Greece can't produce any talent in football. If we are clinging to Fortounis injury this is not a good sign. He is talented but this shows just shallow the talent pool is. No star midfield or forward in defence yes. It's embarrassing.

Pleasantly surprised with the return of K.Paps to the NT. He was pretty solid.

The nature of the game really played in their favour. If they had to score and open up I think there is no doubt we would have found a goal or two. But Slovenia had the position earlier to only need the draw. They scored in injury time I believe in their last match to get the win. Our missed penalty in the first match and the Kosovo match I think are most to blame. After seeing them today it's a real shame Greece did not win this group we are far superior.
