I like our chances vs Croatia, they have a lot of big name players Modric, Rakitic, Mandzukic, etc. but they always seem to disappoint. Portugal with Santos played the Greek defensive system to a tee in the Euros and they barely generated a quality opportunity on goal. If I had to pick one of the 4 i would say Denmark aside from Erickson who do they have?

Congratulations Serbia are in World Cup and Iceland. wales and Ukraine go out.

We should all be very happy we are in this position a win away from a playoff for a spot at the World Cup especially after the disastrous Euro campaign which saw us pick up only 6 points in a far easier group. I understand a lot of people are upset with a few selections Skibbe has made over this campaign, I am one of those people who shakes his head with Tziolis playing instead of say Tachtsidis, but the coach will go with what makes him believe will get this team results. Also it seems as if the unity of the team under Skibbe is by far better off on and off the field than what we saw last campaign. Personally in the playoffs I would rather see Tachtsidis in for Tziolis and I would like to see Lazaros get some time, but if Skibbe goes the same route than I will support him. Go Ellas!

I was thinking the same thing yesterday. That amazing half volley goal Tzavellas scored gained us a vital point on the last kick of the match and Bosnia dropped 2 points. That goal played a huge part in putting us in this position. It’s been an interesting campaign that’s for sure. I think we would match up well with the Swedes if they are a pot 1 team.

Italy are currently in disarray, many pundits are saying Venturo will be sacked for Ancholoti. It would be two teams with a defensive first mentality approach. Italy lack a at striker ATM maybe they finally call up Giovincho. The only thing that worries me about the Italians they are always there, they have not missed out on a Word Cup since 1958. I would like our chances with Sweden, Denmark and would love to beat N Ireland after what happened vs them in the European campaign.

Was thinking the same thing when I watched that game, we all would have been irrate.

Exactly good points. How many teams would love to be in the playoffs for a chance to go to the World Cup? Many countries have not made it to a World Cup in decades. I read a lot of people thought Bosnia were the favourite for 2nd when this campaign started but they were not better than us. Greece went toe to toe with Belgium and came within a few minutes of beating them in Brussels where they have not lost a competitive match in 6 years since losing to Germany. Meanwhile Bosnia got lit up by them for 8 goals in 2 games and the last one they were missing Lukaku, Witzel, Naingohlan and others. Let's win and get there and Lord willing the boys will fight and ultimately prevail and we will be in Russia. Pa Me ELLAS!

Yes that is an excellent point he closes down the opposition so quickly. The first game he came in for the NT at Belgium he was quick and last month vs Belgium he was covering do much ground. He just works so hard for us and you can tell he loves playing for the fanella.

FT Norway 1 North Ireland 0 Would that have helped Us? Or did Norway need to win by more than one Goal?

Yes Scotland maxed out at 18 points. Greece win we have 19 points.

What a nerve ranking game, thank you Slovenia

Thank God!!!

Goallllll 2-1

Goal Slovenia!!!

Come on Slovenia

Let's hope Slovenia can beat Scotland. I think Ukraine will give Croatia a battle and I can see that game being a draw. We just gotta get IN!

Tziolis with the game winning goal!

Yesss

Mandalos needs to come off

Tziolara

Yes they were great offensively if the fieid was better they probably would of hit 8 goals. I knew Belgium would fight for a win even if the game to them did not matter...

PA ME ELLADA!

Big win Belgium.Bosnia just horrible defending

4-3

What a miss
