A draw would be a positive result for Greece but the win is possible as we are at home and of we get it puts us in first place. Going to Italy will be hard as they have a great record in qualifiers on Italian soil. Greece have to beat Bosnia at home and then take at least 4 points from Finland and that will put us through.

I am so excited for this match, Greece rarely get matched up with Italy in Euro or WCUP qualifiers or at finals tournaments. I play football with many Italians and have lot of Italian buddies. When I ask them for there take they don't seem to be that confident as they say they are in transition and not an overwhelming side. Greece have to play it tight at the back and wait for our chances to come.. PA ME ELLAS!

Samaris was very bad yesterday, in the Bosnia match he was strong for us but Zeca in the middle with him helped out immensely. Fortounis smashed a great chance wide of goal in the first half, I thought for sure he was going to put it away. Overall he looked off vs turkey but I expect him to bring his best game vs Italy, let’s hope so.

Yes we need donis to take on defenders with his pace out wide.. He had trouble as our striker vs Bosnia. Hopefully koulouris will get some service vs Italy. How long is Mitroglou out for??

The team lacked precence in the midfield. They could not create any flow there. Once we got to the final third and a chance presented itself there were missed crosses as we saw from mantalos and pelkas to name a few. This match does not count in the standings but the guys should have gone much harder and treated as a war, look at who we were playing? The kolo Turks. There seemed to be a lack of determination from the start of the game and then most of the 2nd half.. Very disappointed that Greece couldn't get a result...
