Ok, so it’s going to be Switzerland, Italy, Croatia or Denmark... who would we prefer to draw? Who do we absolutely not want to draw?

OK, after today's results, what will the pots be?

Goodnight, Bosnia

Just to note: Greece is a freak Gilbrator goal away at the moment of being eliminated. Need to at least get the second goal to eliminate that possibility. EDIT: Nevermind!!

Lazaros looks crisp

Shaky start. Don't want to be 0-0 in the second half

Was thinking the exact same thing yesterday. That was the difference for Greece.

Crazy. Officials waved off the 2nd Norwegian goal at the final whistle. Imagine if that had been the difference in Greece advancing

Portugal and Italy would be scary. Everyone else -- tough, but beatable.

As of now, this is what it would look like, assuming it's based on FIFA rankings: Pot A 3. Portugal 13. Wales 17. Italy 18/19. Croatia/Slovakia Pot B 20. Northern Ireland 23. Sweden 26. Denmark 47. Greece In this scenario, just hope we dodge Portugal or Italy. The pots are divided according to FIFA rankings, correct?

Scotland ties... That mean Greece is in, correct?

Goal, Slovenia!

Now, just one more goal, to put it away. Or park the bus. Either way!

YESSSSS!!!!

Everyone calm down. Just need one Belgium goal... Still a whole half to go.

OK, obviously we need to beat Cyprus, we need Belgium to tie or beat Bosnia... From the other groups, what else do we need to happen, so that Greece isn't the last place 2nd place team, so I know what else to pull for?

Just beat Cyprus. Can't worry about the other stuff. Think if the full team is healthy, Greece should be fine. By the way, what's the latest injury report?

This is the way it stands now... (keep in mind Greece has 10 points, having only played Gibraltar once; Bosnia has only 8 for the purposes of the 2nd round seeding, because they've played them twice). Greece's max point total is 13, which is why a win over Cyprus is obviously a must.
