Ioannidis goal!!!

Finland are holding England 0-0. Come on boys!

Konstantelias & Zaferis need to be subbed in.

Listless performance. Maybe it’s that crappy cold Ireland weather.

I am glad to see Tzolis in the starting lineup. He deserves it! No Mantalos is also a positive move opting for Siopis.

Hellas all the way today!!

Really? I thought we were aiming to keep ourselves in Pot 3.

Big win! Greece started of slow first 10mins but then we completely dominated Finland. Nice quick passing and great goals and hold up play from Ioannidis who is a star. We really turned it up in the second half and could have hit in a few more goals. Team has lots of talent throughout the lineup along with great talented young players. If Jovanovich can find a way to work Fortounis in the lineup we will be really difficult to beat. Mantalos, Bouchalakis and Pelkas can’t be in starting lineup.

He is Lethal!!

Ioanidis goal! Greece 3 Finland 0

We have really stepped it up in the 2nd half. Finland are on the ropes need another goal.

Great that we got the second goal. Ivanovich needs to take Mantalos & Pelkas off!

Ioanidis great hold up play and pass off to Pelkas who hits it way over the bar.

Try hesgoal

Koulerakis the 🇬🇷 Ramos

Great goal Koulerakis! Excellent buildup and movement. Tzimikas great ball in

Mantalos bad lazy pass

Goal from nothing lol!!

I was surprised to see this lineup!

Great points. Bakasetas should be utilized as a sub going forward. I admire his dedication to the NT but he isn’t in good form. He had a very good Euro qualifying campaign with some nice goals and good link up play but his performance in the match with Georgia was very disappointing. He made way too many errors and sloppy passes and he did not even break a sweat. Also he missed his penalty which is a rarity. Mantalos should not be getting anymore call ups. With all these talented young mids we have the future looks bright especially given the plethora of strikers we know have. Greece went years without having an option at the #9 when Mitroglou left. I am really looking forward to see how we play under Ivanovich. He has even opened the door for Fortounis to come back in the October window.

Zaferis is a huge addition to bolster our midfield! Hopefully Karetsas joins Greece too instead of Belgium and our attacking options will look very promising.

Ya saw that on sport24. That is great news!

Yes we must get minimum 2nd place to get a Nations League playoff spot but I am hoping for a miraculous World Cup qualification draw.

Hopefully Fortounis comes back! Ivanovich I believe will do a great job. I just wish EPO had hired him for the Euro playoffs.

It doesn’t say exact date anywhere I looked but usually it’s in first week of December (7th or 8th) and after Nations league has concluded. It will be really tough to qualify for sure even with the extra spots. Greece needs to win these NL matches we are now 54th in the rankings. I hope we can get off to a good start by beating Finland & Ireland and hopefully we get a result vs England. I think we are good for 2nd place in this group and if England qualify directly for wcup then I believe Greece would take their NL playoff spot. I am hoping we get a nice draw unlike the last Euro draw which was the toughest group possible.
