Greece totally dominated Scotland 3 nil could have been 5. Karetsas will be the next Messi his talent is off the charts. What a finish. Konstantelias with a fantastic goal and performance. Zaferis, Tzolis, the whole team was incredible. Our team is loaded and will qualify for the World Cup and cause damage. Would love to see us draw Canada here or the USA and just have our way with them. lol.. PA ME ELLADA!!!!

Greece started the match very sluggish way to many bad passes as a few posters have said. Siopis who I really rate had a tough time completing some simple 5yd passes. He ran his tail off covering the midfield, his effort is always top notch. As for Mantalos enough of him on the team there are better options. Tzimikas had trouble crossing the ball when given the opportunity and his corners were not good as well. The second half was total domination as Scotland sat back the whole half and could barely get over the half line. We just could not get our shots on target though we had one of the post. Pelkas should not be taking free kicks we had a foul in a very dangerous position and he flubbed it into the wall. Karetasas was crazy good what skill on the ball something I have not seen from any Greek footballer and this in his first appearance. I am hopeful Greece can go to Scotland and get a 1 nil and take the tie to extra time. Hoping Ivanovich starts Karetsas and Vlachodimos in goal. Lets GO HELLAS!

We get Denmark it is a great draw! I wanted Austria as our first choice from Pot 1. Greece avoid the heavy hitters Spain France and Holland would have been tough too given our history. Let’s go 🇬🇷

Yeah seems that is the way it shakes out unfortunately. So we need to come top 2 in our qualifying group. Top is automatic qualification and 2nd guarantees us a play-off spot.
Despite this expanded WC format from 2026 onwards, it is still tough to qualify from Europe. UEFA's allocation only increased from 13 to 16, which means it is still a tough road and good teams will miss out on the WC coming from Europe.
Definitely Europe is still extremely tough to qualify from even with the extra spots added. It ain’t like playing in CONCACAF we’re it’s a walk in the park.

Not sure what is better, losing and getting a better chance at winning a League 2 group for Euro 2028, or winning and moving to League A. UEFA really needs to do something like all League A teams get in pot 1 or something.
Great point!

The best draw possible. Greece will dispatch Scotland!

Nice win 🇬🇷 We had our hands on winning the group a draw last match would have done the job. Ivanovich is a great manager and the players are rallying around him. I said it before if he had been in charge last Euro qualifiers he would have got us in over Georgia 💯

We are lacking the quality needed in the final third of the pitch. Let’s go Greece!

Greece get the win here. I know we have struggled in Finland but this team way more talented then Finland who look like they are in a rebuilding phase.

Pathetic performance in front of a full home crowd vs a lot of England second tier players.

We keep losing the ball easily

Our defending is suspect

Greece starting to pick it up

Great results - funny how we are playing better in Pot B than we did all those years in Pot C.
That is true we played down to the lower ranked countries but with Jovanovich I doubt we will see draws with Kosovo as was the case under JVS and not coming up with wins in a knock out match vs Georgia were Poyet was totally out managed. Greece have so much young talent coming up and lots of skill at every position. I believe Jovanovich will get us to the World Cup and Greece will be formidable for years to come.

Fantastic 2 matches for Greece this international window. Greece in the first half totally dominated the ball & should have finished a couple goals with Pavlidis not finding his footing in front of goal. Siopis was an all over the place with great tackles and winning the ball. He even towered over a much taller Irish player to win a header. Mavropanos is so steady at the back and Gianoulis had a great match too. Bakasetas scored again and now sits one goal behind Demis Nikolaides. Ivonovich has the team geling and I see him ending our tournament drought with qualification to the 2026 World Cup. Go 🇬🇷

Great win by Portugal we get Denmark a great draw for Greece. Denmark ranked 21st in the FIFA rankings, Scotland and Belarus. It is a dream draw compared with our last Euro draw which saw us get France and Holland! For the 2022 World Cup qualifying we had Spain so this is fantastic and it wont be easy but Greece have to get the direct ticket!
