Euro 2024 Group B - Greece - France (21 Nov. 2023 21:45 EET, Opap Arena, Athens)

[Dutch Eagle]

Last MD and we must take this as a friendly to prepare for the Nations League play-offs. 

[Dutch Eagle]

Mantalos and Kourbelis suspended. 

Tsimikas and Baldock not in the squad as it is a friendly qualifier. 

Don't know about Tzavellas. Is he retired as international or not??!!

[Ellada2004]

Greece need to get a draw or an especially a win to get our FIFA ranking up.

[Omonoia9]

Irish did us no favors. UEFA isn't calling the Dutch qualified, but come on, all they have to do is get a point against Gibraltar. We're going to need that playoff. A win over France could only help morale, though.

The Dutch have officially qualified. There’s no chance in Greece getting 2nd. The Dutch of the tie breaker from the win.

Guys, think our staff know who is on Yellow Cards and not?

 

Georgia will be missing their best player for the semi-final matchup due to receiving a yellow against Spain in a meaningless match...

Anyone know who is on yellow card suspension watch?

[Dutch Eagle]

No one should play if he is in the dangerzone!

btw: Tsiggaras and Zeca added to the squad.

Pelkas, Siopis and Tsimikas are on 2 yellows so far if I counted correct. A third like Mantalos and Kourbelis means a one match suspension. Tsimikas is safe as he returned to Liverpool. 

[J1078]

Do we know for sure who the other 3 teams are for the NT league playoffs?

[paokarag4]

Yep it's confirmed. We will take on Kazakhstan on the 21st of March at OPAP Arena. 

The other semi is Georgia v Luxembourg. 

[PaokCT]

Kazakhstan has looked very good this qualifying campaign with some big wins. It will be a very, very tough game.

[HellasLEAF]

If we beat Kazakhstan and if Georgia defeat Lux, then we play the final away to Georgia correct?

[J1078]

Georgia is also no push over. it wont be as easy as some people think. In saying that if you cant come out on top against, Georgia, Kazakhstan and Luxembourg then you probably don't deserve to go to the Euros anyways..

No. The final draw will be random. We could host too

Greece needs to make changes. Greizman missed a sitter and Vlachodimos made a beautiful save on his shot that was going in the top corner.
