GREECE 2-1 SWEDEN FINAL
About time to get their first win in the WCQ 2022! 

[Ellada2004]

GREECE WIN!!

[jarvis1981]

Good win

There is still a chance. 

 

Otto was in the stands. He has a presence. 

[Omonoia9]

Greece 2-1 Sweden    FT

 

 

Probably still not enough to get to Qatar, but individually, a highly satisfying win!

[Ellada2004]

What a performance!!

[Ellada2004]

Were was this vs Kosovo? We went toe to toe with Sweden! 

Douvikas what a star in the making!

Tzolis gotta be starting when 100% fit!

Greece will have to win out it's remaining 4 matches or win 3 and draw one to have any chance of qualification.

Καλή η νίκη αλλά τι να την κάνεις όταν φέρνεις ισοπαλίες με Γεωργία και Κόσοβο; 10 βαθμούς θα είχαμε με νίκες με ένα μάτς λιγότερο απο τους Ισπανούς.

Μαλακίες, τα ίδια και τα ίδια εδώ και 7 χρόνια.

[Brklyngrk]

A win is a win.  At a minimum, it shows that we have heart.

Gotta beat one of Spain or Sweden for sure, and can't lose to either, and can't do anything but win against anyone else, I'd say. Another win over Sweden in Solna would be huge.

Fantastic win. Relief in the end. It was pleasing to see the team push for goals and not sit back when they took lead.

Sweden are good side. Tough side.

If we can somehow repeat this in the Spain match or the return leg in Sweden then we might still have a slim chance. Still a long shot.

[Antaeus7]

Spain's last two matches is against Greece (away) and Sweden (home). It is possible Spain could lose the final two and miss out on the World Cup.

For Sure. Greece had determination today and desire!!
